    ---------------------------
    IPAD 3 UPDATES
    isight camera
    5-megapixel backside illuminated sensor on the back, 5-element lens, IR filter, and ISP built into ​the A5X chip.
    Voice dictation? Siri? Yep... Siri :D
    Speech to text... Voice dictation & Siri
    4G LTE
    Dual Carrier HSDPA/ @ HSDPA aeriels?
    Obviously black and white
    The iPad can now be a personal hotspot too -- if the carrier supports it.
    This device is said to have the "most bands ever" -- but he's not saying exactly which ones. "It's no small feat. This new iPad has the most wireless bands that has ever shipped."
    Someone at Nokia is getting ready to do some fact-checking right now.
    ... but what about the battery life?
    You may recall, the iPad 2 we claimed 10 hours of battery life for most things you do." 9 hours on 3G.
    10 hours of battery life still! 9 hours on 4G!
    There must be some healthy cells in there. What about the weight? The girth?
    Okay, it's 9.4mm thin, weighing 1.4lbs.
    We're talking $499 for 16GB!
    32GB is $599 and 64GB for $699. Sorry, no 128GB yet.
    Same prices as current iPad, available on March 16th.
    "If you want one as badly as I do you'll be happy to know that the pre-orders start today."
    US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Japan..
    All launching on the same day. Apple's biggest rollout ever.
    All the stock apps have been updated and optimized.
    "Everything has been updated, but as you remember when the iPhone 4 went to the retina display, developers didn't have to do anything and their apps looked better."
    So, existing apps will be scaled up and text will automatically be rendered in higher-res.
    "But, if the developer takes a little bit of time... they can do little things with their apps that are mind-blowing."
    Looks like a few devs got early access, time for some demos. First up is James Shelton from Namco.
    "Today we're thrilled to show you our new flight sim game, Sky Gamblers." Namco
    Looking like an Ace Combat sort of title. "The extra graphics performance lets us increase the level of detail of everything in the game." And, thanks to all the resolution, "none of the detail goes to waste."
    It looks good, but definitely simpler graphically than the latest Ace Combat and its ilk.
    Bunch 'o dudes just launched off of a carrier. We're shooting them down.
    THEY HAVE NOT YET REFERRED TO IT WITH A NAME... THEY STILL REFER TO IT AS "THE NEW IPAD"
    Wheres the one more thing????
    Phill schiller is back...
    Now it's Chris Cheung from Autodesk.
    3D rendering programs for iPad from autodesk..?????
    He's the Product Line Manager of Sketchbook, which should give you an idea of what we'll be seeing ​next...
    We're looking at SketchBook Ink from Autodesk. It's "a new drawing app that focuses on line art."
    You can create paintings in SketchBook Pro and import them here to draw upon. On the left menu there are drawing styles, on the right inks.
    still no referral to the name!!
    It's resolution independent, so zoom in as far as you like, the flower he's drawing stays clean.
    Can export images greater than 100 megapixels!
    Phil is back. "Wait until you see it and try it. Using your finger to draw on a screen you can't even see the pixels on... is truly a breakthrough."
    Next up is Mike Capps, president of Epic Games.
    Phil says they have an "amazing new project."
    Mike is on the stage to give us a demo.
    Infinity Blade: Dungeons.
    You're on a quest to craft the "ultimate weapon" -- the Infinity Blade
    We have HDR graphics and tone-mapping. Looks of beautiful lighting and action.
    It's definitely a step up from the current Infinity Blade. With a you can connect enemies for a chain-attack.

    What you would say the most exciting new thing is for you on the iPad 3?
    Maybe: Voice dictation & Siri?

    It doesn't have Siri, its a "taste" of Siri, all it does is allow you to dictate, so you talk to it, and it'll type what you said.
