I have some money saved up and I'm considering buying an iPad. I'm also throwing around the idea of a macbook pro. Can someone give me a comparison of the two? I'd also like to know the pros and cons of the iPad and Macbook Pro. I would prefer a list if possible. Thanks in advance :D
Can you use iMessage on the new iPad without having a cellular data plan for it?

Answer
Pros of ipad 3:
1. Sleek new screen, incredibly refined and mature.
2. A large app and media store, and a 5-megapixel rear camera for 3D photos.
3. The third-generation iPad will feature a Retina Display that offers double the resolution and four times as many pixels as the iPad 2 and users will be able to use the iPad without actually touching the iPad. Basically, wherever you look on the iPad screen, the camera will recognize through the use of constant retina scanning.
4. Heavy application loads 6 seconds faster than iPad 2.

Cons of ipad 3:
1. More heavier than the iPad 2.
2. Bigger battery means increased recharge time.
3. The new iPad gets warm.
4. apps and movies utilize more space.
5. Although the iSight camera has improved. The front-facing âFacetimeâ camera remains VGA which is not good for video chatting.

Do you think 64gb iPad will be enough to hold photographs or should I go for 128gb?

I want something portable and iPad is perfect for me. Let me make it clear that I do not want a laptop. I already have an SD card reader and a camera connecter for the iPad.

I am just wondering how many 12.2 megapixels photos can the 64gb hold? This is for the canon 1100d.

Or should I go for the 128gb? I am planning to keep the iPad for a long time, maybe 10+ years if it last long. I do not usually keep up with latest technology. Heck, I still have the original iPhone from 2007 and just using it for calls and net browsing. 6 years. And still pleased with it.

Answer
I certainly wouldn't be storing any important photos on it without backup. It depends on what your needs are. If you are using it to show customers your work, probably the 64GB would be enough although the 128GB version would afford you approx. twice as much storage. You don't really need to store high resolution images on it unless you intend to pixel peep or seriously zoom in. If you are showing your work as a whole i.e per photo, then reducing your images down to the screen resolution and pixel count... should make each image quite small in physical size. You then can store literally tens of thousands of images on that iPad.

What is the difference between Ipad 2 and Ipad3?

cgrad2013

I'm getting ready to buy an IPAD but I don't know if its worth the extra 100 dollars.
From what I understand the Ipad3 has a nicer resolution? But what else can 3 do that 2 can not?

Answer
There are actually quite a lot of improvements that were taken on-board the iPad three, however, it could be entirely summed up that the iPad 3 is an upgraded version of the iPad 2, created to benefit the user by giving him an improved overall experience, both when it comes to hardware as well as software comparability. However, the main changes on the iPad 3 are primarily hardware-based.

Below are the differences between the iPad 2 and iPad 3, and weather they are worth spending an extra $100 based on each improvement.

- Processor (Chip): The iPad 3 boasts an Apple A5X Chip, while the older version of the iPad, the iPad 2, utilizes the A5 Chip. The main difference you will see between these two chips is speed. Although the iPad 2 is very fast in itself, the iPad 3 is just that much faster, and might be more useful if you're a frequent app user, especially processor-intensive apps. The benefit of getting the iPad 3 in this case would that it won't be out-dated as easily, as processor-demanding apps come out on the market. With the same reasoning, the iPad 2 will, in time, not be able to cope with newer software, which is why, in 2-3 years it will be phased out by Apple.

The main question here isn't if - but when. If you're ready to spend $100 for something that will, in theory - last longer before becoming obsolete, then go for the iPad 3. However, if you need something a bit on the cheap side, and don't intend on either using the iPad for more than 3years, or not use very processor-intensive applications, then go for the iPad 2.

- The Screen: The iPad 3 utilizes "Full HD" Retina display, while the iPad 2 utilizes a 720p HD Display. The main difference here is picture quality. The iPad 3 will give you a crisp - almost pixel free - especially for text (thanks to it's Retina Display), while the iPad 2, although having an amazing display, will be, by comparism, a less aquidate display. Personally, I don't see why anyone would switch to the iPad 3 based solely off display, quite frankly, although the quality on the iPad 3 is stunning, the iPad 2 offers a great overall display.

- The Camera: The iPad 3 features a 8MP, Full HD (1080p) camera which shoots at 30fps with stabilization, and face detection. The iPad 2, in comarism offers a 720p video camera with the ability to shoot low-quality stills, with x5 digital zoom. The front cameras, are generally both the same, although the front facing camera on the iPad 3 is just a bit better due to an integrated camera lence, rather than a video-shooting lence taking stills. Neither front-facing camera on the models mentioned have their MegaPixels specified. Personally, due to the major added improvements on the iPad 3's camera, I would spend the extra money on it.

- Wireless & Cellular: the iPad 3 offers 4G LTE, while the iPad 2 offers 3G networking. The only difference between the two is the wireless speed you'll be achieving on your iPad. The 4G network is a new type of network, currently being rolled out (and integrated) on all flagship phones and tablets, however, most phones currently only support 3G. If you have the extra money, I would spring for the 4G Network, however, unless you're really impatient, if you don't want to spend the money, go for the iPad 2.

When it boils down to it, it's only $100, I would go for the iPad 3, it being the newest item on the market, it will get "old" slower than the iPad 2, which already has a successor.

I hope you've found this helpful and helped you make an informed decision! I bet you'll love your new iPad, whichever one you choose!

How many camera megapixels does the ipad 2 have?

megapixel camera on ipad 2 image

Emily

Is the camera better than the iphone 4s?

Answer
I'm not exactly sure how many megapixels the main camera on the ipad2 has, something like just 1 megapixel.

All I can say is that it is completely rubbish. So forget it if you want to take half decent pictures.
The front facing camera is 0.3 megapixel and is only really for face detection etc.

The back camera, however bad for photos is actually half decent at 720p video.

How does Apple say the camera on the iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4th are HD?

janie l

How can they say that the cameras are HD. They are not good cameras at all. The rear facing camera is only .7 megapixels. And the front facing camera is on .3 megapixels. In what way is that HD?? What are the requirement to be considered HD? And to top it all off Apple hasn't released the MP of either devices camera.

Answer
Exactly, they are not HD. They lied to you. If you want a good phone, check out the upcoming Nokia N9. I got to test it out, it performs way better than the iPhone on every aspect. And the camera is way better too. You should check it out, it will be out later next month, not too long from now.
