hey guys it's Branham in a min from pocket now calm back in 2010 I like many others got the original iPad I was excited about the idea of having a new way to consume content not a netbook not a laptop but a slate like device and slates aren't necessarily new but in this case a slate like device that could allow me to access all kinds of great content movies books email in a whole new kind of way the problem is that the original iPad and the ipad 2 and every other tablet that's out there right now fails on one important front it fails to meet the quality that you get when you look at a printed newspaper or printed magazine you can see pixels on the screen it feels digital it doesn't feel like you've picked up a magazine from the newsstand in fact I remember back in 2010 I would spend hours using the iPad to the point of ice train and the ice train came about because i was looking at these kind of big pixels actually very low resolution screen on the original ipad now with the new ipad and with tablets coming out in 2012 from samsung from asus and a lot of other companies we're going to see high resolution displays that will finally replicate successfully print quality in a great form factor it's really going to change the way we consume content finally so we're going to unbox the new ipad now so let's get to it so if you're going to buy an iPad a new iPad you have a lot of decisions to make and that was the same case with the ipad 2 and even the first generation ipad this time you can choose between 16 32 and 64 gigabytes you can also go with 4g on either verizon or AT&T furthermore you can choose black or white as you can see over here i chose the verizon 4g 32 gigabyte white version and let me tell you why number one color I like how white deters fingerprints so white was my choice number two capacity 64 gigabytes is a ton of space I don't need that but 16 gigabytes is not enough space if you want to be able to watch several back to back HD movies on a cross-country flight for example and also if you're downloading lots of games the retina display uses a ton of data so apps are huge movies are huge and really bumping up in space is a really good idea and i went with verizon this time previously i had the Wi-Fi 16 gigabyte version verizon this time because verizon's LTE network is very ubiquitous or more so than 80 the big downside to choosing verizon is that the fallback the 3g evdo is far slower than the fall back for AT&T so it matters whether you live in an area with AT&T LTE that would have been my first choice but just because verizon has about a year head start on AT&T I went with verizon so I could get as much l2 is I possibly can and hopefully I won't come across there evdo very much because it's it's pretty slow so let's unbox this and we're not going to spend much time looking at what's actually in the box we're gonna spend some time looking closely at this screen and comparing it a little bit to the ipad 2 and then we've got a lot more coverage coming up so here we go handy-dandy tab here we're not going to go into the box because you know what's in there there's a charger in there and take this off and you see if I can notice a difference in terms of weight it definitely feels a little bit heavier than the ipad 2 it definitely feels a little bit thicker here is the ipad 2 on the left you really can't tell i mean it's so insignificant it's about the addition of a a coin depth about one millimeter so it's not that big of a deal I really want to power this thing on and see what the screen looks like finally so here it goes turning on all right here we are I'm gonna set this up and come back in a few minutes and do some comparisons okay so right now I'm zoomed zoomed in very close to the calendar icon this is the ipad to the previous ipad can you see pixels let's see if we can get a little bit closer in and without the camera going out of focus you can see pixels and i know you can see it even in this video in 1080p so let's slide this off the screen and get the new ipad out here you cannot see pixels in most cases i just spent a few minutes trying to divine pixels and yes i actually was able to see pixels in some areas but when you're looking at this from a normal viewing angle this screen is is just hot i mean it is it is unbelievable in terms of how it looks like it's not a screen and it's it's great that we're getting to that point in technology where the technology is going away and all we have is just as beautiful image now so let's do a little bit more comparison here so let's zoom out all the way we're gonna bring both on the screen you'll notice that my ipad 2 is cracked i think it's correct because one day i was so angry at the low res display that I threw a rock into it just kidding I didn't do that so I watched so far here and let's go to a website interestingly interestingly the ipad to launch the browser faster so we're going to go to pocket now on both and we can actually just hit that over there out of the box the brightness is set a little bit lower than probably most people would like so let's zoom in here extremely smooth extremely smooth a little bit slower to clear up let's get really close and try to see some pixels on the ipad 2 you can absolutely see pixels here with the w on the new ipad you really can't tell that there are actual little dots making up this screen quite amazing let's go back to the home screen gestures enabled yep so let's go into the settings both cleared from memory let's see which opens faster interestingly again the iPad to beat the ipad 3 in terms of speed there and it's possible that it's because it's pulling in some information setting up synchronization on this guy here right away what I'm noticing and by the way this is a picture of a dog's eye not a really hairy human what I'm noticing brighter ways that the screen on the new iPad is definitely warmer it's a little bit more yellow screen on the ipad 2 is cooler and you can't tell from this video I know you're not going to be able to tell because from about 3 feet away it's hard for me to tell but the detail is just so much greater here on the ipad 3 you can really see each individual hair here well zoom in a little bit this was a photo taken with an 8 megapixel camera so it's perhaps not the best quality in the world to show off and here's another shot and again you get to see the warmer color here on the ipad 3 now not sure if I'm the biggest fan of that but certainly here with the detail in the dog's nose you can see far more detail on the ipad 3 it just looks a little bit blurry here on the ipad 2 here's one more picture that I think serves as a good example I've actually bumped the brightness a little bit on the ipad 3 so we're to zoom into the coconut over on the ipad 2 and you can kind of get a sense for the texture that you'll see over there ok so we're looking at the coconut on the ipad 2 you can see each flake it's a little bit soft around the edges in fact i'd say a lot soft around the edges and let's look at the ipad 3 same exact picture and gosh you can just see smaller pieces of the coconut more so than you can on the ipad 2 so we're going to other comparisons coming up with the new ipad and tablets out there even android tablets so far I'm really impressed with the quality of the screen obviously it's exactly what you would think it is a screen with a tremendous pixel density lending to a display that looks like it's painted on and I can't wait to load on some apps play some games read a newspaper and really start integrating this into my life to see if it's actually going to make a difference and and most importantly if I don't get the eye strain that I got with the ipad 2 in the ipad 1 because of that low resolution screen so if you like this video please give us a thumbs up and if there's something in particular you would like to see with the new ipad will be happy to show it to
