What do they mean by the text will be more "sharper" on the new iPad?

I did. The iPad 2 had text like the iPad 3 in the picture you see on the site.

I think I understand the OP, on the iPad 2 when you view text on websites you can zoom in all the way and the text still looks crystal clear. That's because that text is a vector-based graphic, meaning that the text scales perfectly no matter how much you zoom, and will always be crystal clear. Where the retina display excels is in bitmapped graphics, which are the vast majority of graphics and text you see on a computer. Bitmapped graphics do not scale, so the more you zoom in the easier it is to see the individual pixels that make up that graphic. The retina display will make that crystal clear, too essentially.

Thanks for explaining. Unfortunately, not many people understand what I mean in this thread, but I assume it's because they do not own an iPad 2.

So today I fiddled with my friend's iPad 2. I was browsing through the net and I zoomed in as close as possible and the text was already crisp clear. It can't get any more crisp than that. There was literally no pixels.

If you touch the text on the new iPad, it will actually cut you it's so sharp.
