Didn't realize just how big the difference was until my wife was showing me something on her iPad 2 and it actually looked blurry. Now, before the new iPad it never looked blurry to me. Needless to say - I am impressed.
I know right? It's amazing how one's perception can change. I was used to my iPad 2 but after using the new iPad and going back to the iPad 2, the iPad 2 looks blurry to me....
Atrocious battery life? That couldn't be further from the truth. My iPad out of the box at around 79% lasted me a solid day and a half of web browsing, gaming and general application usage. Not to mention the main game I was playing was Real Racing.
I've been thoroughly impressed with the battery life.
The ipad 3 will certainly sell very well, but at the moment I reckon the 2 is still the best. A brilliant mix of everything I want in a tablet.
I would recommend it to anyone and at the current prices it's a bargain.
Forget the 3 and wait for generation 4!!

I agree, text is a big improvement. But that's about it!
I compared photos side by side on both ipads and the difference was marginal.
A little better on the 3 but no 'awesome' improvement that some folks on here would have you believe.

It's a great piece of tech. The screen is amazing.
Text is so much more clear - I did a side by side comparison of a book in iBooks, i tried to get the font size and brightness to match as close as possible, and WOW. One was like reading a magazine or newspaper. So crisp!

From what I have heard from people I know who own an ipad 3 is that they are very impressed with the retina-display. When I looked at one, at first when you look at it you cant really tell the difference between the ipad 2 and the ipad 3. At least this was the case for me but when I compared it to an ipad 2 the difference was indeed noticeable. In fact I was quite surprised to see the difference in between the ipads.
