Apple Do It Again - 3rd Generation iPad Introduced

Apple has unveiled a raft of new features set to be included in the 3rd generation iPad which will set the tablet market alight even more!

The next-generation iPad will feature a high-definition retina display and an improved camera, dubbed "iSight". The technology giant heaped pressure on its rivals with a cut-price iPad 2, priced at $399 (£254).

Apple also increased its presence in the home with an enhanced set-top box, Apple TV.

The next-generation iPad will feature a high-definition retina display, which Apple said boasts more pixels than a high-definition TV.

The slightly-heaver device will feature improved photo and video taking, with a greater resolution camera and a HD video recorder. It will be able to connect to high-speed 4G networks and run an Apple-built A5X processing chip.
