Specs
Apple iPad (3rd generation) is powered by new dual-core A5X processor with quad-core graphics, 1GB RAM. Retina display with 2048 x 1536 pixels screen resolution. 5 MP camera and support 4G LTE wireless network (not compatible with Malaysia’s 4G service providers).
My two cents
I am a happy iPad 1 owner and no plan to upgrade. iPad 1 is still working great for me, except it’s lagging sometime (only 256MB RAM). I don’t need an iPad camera, I already have iPhone 4S.
If you want an iPad, buy the new iPad now.
If you wish that your existing iPad has a better display, better camera, faster speed… and you have the cash, buy the new iPad now.
