"This will be a review of the new iPad or is most people call if the iPad 3. It is an interesting departure in several ways, the screen is brighter, there is a new translation device on the keyboard that lets me talk into the computer and it turns it into words on the printed page and it is a somewhat warmer."
I left the first paragraph completely unedited just so you can see what it looks like when it is dictated and the iPAD turns it into the written word. Obviously, a few words are wrong, but easily fixed.
The translation part of the new iPad appears to use periods and commas as you place them in the sentence verbally, or automatically when you take a pause. It is also apparent that the translation device works much better with short declarative sentences. If the speaker has a particularly long paragraph, the dictation stops and sends it to the cloud for translation – a very few seconds – then you can resume your dictation. That is not too much of a disruption, because I usually need to collect my thoughts for the nexyt paragraph, anyway.
The screen is much brighter and clearer than the iPad 2 screen, both in photos and in the printed word. The processing of photos is certainly a bit faster.
Still, if I owned an iPAD2 I would be reluctant to upgrade.. I would not have normally bought a new iPad because I have the iPad 2, and it looks like it's not really that much better that you should go out and spend seven hundred dollars on it.
However, I am in real estate and that means that I use the iPad for presentation purposes. The new iPAD works for me, but for most people it's not that big a deal if you already have an existing iPAD.
An incremental improvement. Certainly worth the money if you have no iPAD at all.
