Apple iPad 3

Well, it’s not actually called the iPad 3… it’s just the new iPad, but we have a feeling it will be dubbed 3 by the users.

Physically, the new iPad is nearly the same as the iPad 2. But you’ll definitely notice the new 2048 x 1536 Retina display that pushes 3.1 million pixels. And inside you’ll find the new high performance dual-core Apple A5X CPU, quad-core graphics, and a new iSight camera featuring a backside illuminated sensor, a five element lens and the capability of capturing 1080p video. You also get support for 4G LTE.

As expected, the new iPad is still available in either black or white and with 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB.

Wacom Cintiq 24HD | Interactive Pen Display

The Wacom Cintiq 24HD with Interactive Pen Display “lets you see the full beauty of your work,” according to the company’s official website. Apparently, they’ve never seen drawings by this inStash writer, which calls to mind immediate thoughts that the artist has Parkinson’s despite not having a single case of it in the family history. Nevertheless, those of you, who actually can draw, will benefit from the 16:10 aspect ratio and the 1900 x 1200 high-def display.

The display itself is about 24 inches, while the stylus detects more than 2,000 pressure levels for an experience that is actually BETTER than writing with a traditional pen or pencil. While the $2,500 price tag will have you “yikesing” a bit, think of all the money you’ll save on paper and pen over the rest of your life. And it’s good for the environment, too.

Dell Streak

Designed to be the largest tablet you can slip in your pocket, the Android-powered Dell Streak sits interestingly between most touchscreen smartphones and the iPad. It comes with a large 5″ WVGA touchscreen and a fast 1GHz Snapdragon processor. The Streak is also equipped with 2GB of internal storage, but does have an SD card slot to expand storage up to 32GB so you can throw on just about all the apps and music you want. Additionally, Dell included a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, as well as Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi and 3G connectivity. Surprisingly enough, this is actually a phone disguised as a tablet device.

Finally, as what seems like a sign of future devices to come, there is a front-facing video camera for video chat. The Dell Streak will share company with the HTC EVO and soon-to-be released iPhone, though, whether any of these devices will be able to play nice via video chat is still up in the air.
