       The new ipad comes with a crystal crisp retina display which no other device have in the entire earth and its A5X processor brings quad core graphics. With a good camera, 4G LTE connectivity this is now considered the best tablet in the market. Once you get a look at the retina display of the new ipad then you cannot get back to any others!
