[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
I think he means the Pad Infinity TF700.

The amount of mistakes in this post is just too damn high. You're welcome to prefer whatever tablet you like but please don't distort the facts:

What you are saying is the exact opposite of what most people experience.

The main problem with android tablets is lack of good tablet optimized apps. Sure, you can stretch apps that are designed to run on a phone screen but what good is that's going to do? You might as well just use your phone.

iPad doesn't need resolution independence because Apple sells its own hardware. Android obviousely needs it because they are 100s of different phones and tablets with different screens and app developers can't publish 100 different apps for each specific device.

Most importantly, the ipad's app collection is huge and the quality is much much better than android tablet apps. I have a Touchpad running ICS and I can hardly find good tablet optimized apps and even when I do, I am underwhelmed by their design compared to apps designed for the ipad.

Even the new Transformer pad infinity has ~35% less pixels than the "new ipad". But I agree that the difference is indistinguishable for most people.

3. What on earth are you talking about man? There are a LOT of reason's for a high resolution screen! Everything looks much sharper and just more beautiful, texts are easier to read and overall it's a much better viewing experience. This is like saying the iPhone 4 retina display was an unnecessary upgrade from 3gs. I think 99% of people would prefer a high resolution tablet.

I'll just leave this quote from the lead developer of Infinity Blade (one of the most graphic intensive mobile apps on any platform):

"The quad core [processor] makes a big difference in terms of what we can draw. When you think about it, they increased the resolution of the screen by a factor of four and they doubled the graphics performance, that wouldn't make you think, Great, we've got tons of extra graphics performance. But they increased the memory [for storage] as well and that made a huge difference. One: we all have to share the memory with all the other apps that are running. And two: it really let us put in higher resolution textures, which aren't much harder to draw. We don't need a processor for that."

Conclusion: The new quadcore gpu on ipad 3 is going to perform similar to the ipad 2 as you said. BUT remember that iPad 2 already beats Tegra 3 in terms of gpu (source: anandtech).

WHAT? Seriously? That makes no sense at all. 720p on ipad 3 is going to look exactly the same as it did on ipad 2. When you watch a dvd on your computer's monitor, do you full screen it? does it look worse than a display with DVD resolution? NO! same principle applies here. So if you're internet can't handle 1080p, just stream netflix at 720p and it's gonna look exactly like the ipad 2. For those of us who can and want to play 1080p vidoes, ipad 3 lets us do that.

(we're not even considering herer the fact the ipad 3 is supposed to have a brightner and more vibrant display compared to ipad 2. that can only be good)

I don't get how you argue that iOS sucks on the iPhone but not the iPad and that ICS sucks on tablets but not on galaxy nexus.

How is iOS different on the iPad vs the Iphone? Everything is exactly the same but it's scaled up. ICS is at least slightly different on tablets (combined bar, toggles, etc).

I think the better argument is that iOS iPad apps are much better than ICS tablet apps, which I agree with 100%.

That's why I would buy an iPad 3 IF I wanted to spend $500 on a tablet. I'm quite happy with my $150 hp touchpad running ICS. It's not perfect but frankly, I don't even use it that much between my galaxy nexus and macbook pro.
