(forum name spajdr ) has a new 4th generation iPad and has made some nice comparison videos between it and the previous 3rd generation iPad. Check out this one below, which unforuntately only shows a couple of games, but should give you an idea of the noticeable speed difference between the devices. He's also got several other videos on his channel, including one comparing the iPad mini to the newest iPad as well as some various speed benchmarks compared to other iOS devices. Forum user Echoseven leaves some of his first impressions with the 4th generation iPad, his first iPad ever: "I like the new connector. One thing I didn't realize based from pictures and demos is just how TINY the thing is. It's pathetic, but still feels strong and durable. Quite amazed there, I must say. I've used the iPad for 4 hours straight with heavy internet (images and stuff) surfing and a few games here and there and the battery went down from the 94% it came out of the box with to 68%. Unless you're going to be gaming for a lot, the battery is really, really good. Wi-fi is still only as fast as your network.
