no use buy ipad 3(onli better display and gpu.).besides can an ipad 3 be compared with desktops for gaming purposes.

I thought that heated battery will be one of the reason.

But I already getting bored with all Apple stuff on my iPhone 4. I wonder those who never jailbreak their iPhone or iPad can still survive so long looking at those plain UI. Hmm...

Is it good for e-book reading ?

apart from camera, i mean the screen. is it so obvious can see the diff with naked eye?

my points still stand. i dont really see the need of a tablet, be it ipad, transfomer, tab, etc etc

but if i compare this ipad to ipad2, i would say ipad2 is much better due to 1 reason. 3G

in MY, 4G network is not that widely spread yet. therefore if u travel out of KL, u might not be able to get internet connectivity at all

the lack of 3G really kills off this product IMHO

Let me share with you why it is not worth buying the New iPad, at least here in Malaysia.
The only significant improvement in the New iPad over iPad2 is the Retina Display and 4G LTE support.

1. Retina Display
It has over 3 million pixels. So far there are not many websites containing such a Hi-Res JPEGs. Apple Inc. is just about to develop some websites for the New iPad users to surf.
So for the next 6 months to 1 year, you are not going to fully utilize the 3-million pixels of your Retina Display. That's almost 1/3 of the value of what you would pay for the New iPad. Even there are already some websites designed for the new iPad, you may not be interested in the content.

OK, let's say 6 months later, there will be enough websites designed for the new iPad for you to surf, it will take longer time to download and display it on your browser because of our pathetic bandwidth here in M'sia. Unless you have TM unifi at home. Forget about using 3G to download the 3-million pixels picture.

2. 4G LTE
Simple reason. We don't have it yet in M'sia.

Other issues from the new iPad users from around the world:
- It gets warmer after about 30 min of using, at the bottom left corner of the device, because of the new CPU and video processor. Looks like Apple has under-estimated the heat dissipated by the high-performance chips.
- Since the the battery is higher capacity than the iPad2, means it will take longer time to be fully charged.
- If you are running or playing a resource-hungry apps/game during charging, it will drain more power than the charger can charge.

Just my humble opinion to share.

By the way, I am very happy and satisfied with my iPad2, in reading news, e-magazine, e-books.

4 times better than iPad2, in terms of more pixels only.
Does it mean it helps you to be able to read 4 times faster? ;-)
When the new iPad3 is displaying an apple on the screen, do the 3-million pixels help you to see "4 times more" of the apple than we see in iPad2? Your brain is still telling you it is an apple. Nothing more.

You just feel it looks more real.  I agree, and that's the value you pay for it. If you need/want the kind visual, then it's justified to buy it.

If the user is a keen photographer, then he/she will make the most out of the Retina Display, when they do the post-processing or use it as their photo-portfolio showing off to their peers or clients.

The e-books, e-news just look like a glowing paper, according to the techologist reviewers.

I am still able to read 55MB-size Hi-Res PDF on my iPad2. My own eye's retina still can resolve an apple in the embedded jpeg. ;-)

My e-book reader,  Kindle's display really looks like a paper and is not glowing, so it means my eyes don't get tired after a long reading.
