[print this page] The third generation mobile computer tablet device from Apple Inc, christened the Apple iPad3 has just been launched and the initial feedback emanating from both the tablet industry experts as well as the average customers has been reasonably good if not overly appreciative. When looked at from this perspective, it becomes all the more imperative for us to grasp as to what exactly you have in the Apple iPad 3 that is not there in the Apple iPad 2.
Let us make a closer features wise comparison of the Apple iPad 2 Deals with that of the Apple iPad 3. And thereby try to figure out whether it is worth the while for someone already using the iPad 2 to go in for the iPad 3. Here we go

On the basis of the above comparison, it is crystal clear that for those users who already own an Apple iPad 2 it is probably not good an idea to opt for the iPad 3. We say this because there is not much in terms of new to look forward to in the third generation that is not already there in the iPad 2.
