Apple Hosts Event, Unveils New iPad

Apple introduced a new version of the iPad today [Mar.7], featuring a more powerful chip, high-definition screen, sharper camera and much more.

The device will cost $499 to $829 in the United States, and include an A5X chip that enables better graphics, Apple said today at an event in San Francisco. It will also boast a 9.7-inch screen that has more pixels than traditional high-definition televisions, and a 5MP camera capable of recording video in 1080p.

“You all have an HDTV at home, 1080p — an iPad has more pixels. That’s incredible,” said Phil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing at today’s unveiling

The new product also sports a substantially more powerful processor called the A5X chip — the X short for quad core graphics power built into the processor, Mr Schiller said.

The new iPad will be available overseas on March 16.
