Unless you simply must always have the latest and greatest, iPad 3 owners don't need to upgrade yet-this new iPad is basically an iPad 3S. But iPad 2 owners will love this...unless they fall for the iPad mini first.

Faster than iPad 3; Better graphics performance.

No further improvements to the camera or other design tweaks just yet

In announcing the fourth-generation iPad and breaking a three-year tradition of selling only one new tablet a year, Apple has caused some outrage among iPad 3 owners. But Apple needed to shorten the product cycle to add tweaks and improvements to the iPad amid a flurry of Windows 8 and Android...

The 2012 refresh of the Apple iPad wows, but not for the reasons so often associated with Apple products.

Ordered this iPad as refurbished, but it was new as far as I could tell - in perfect condition. $50 instant coupon applied, making this a pretty good deal. Very pleased with this purchase.

Fits my needs perfectly. Watch movies, surf, listen to music and read books. Many times easier to use than a laptop. However, I miss the freedom, such as a file system allows, hence the rating of nine out of ten. Passar mina behov perfekt. Se på film, surfa, lyssna på musik och läsa böcker.

While it might seem that Wired's review of the iPad is a tad overdue , our tardiness is not without reason. Apple makes perfect honeymoon devices; glossy, glamorous, luxury items that purr with interactivity and effortless sophistication as soon as they emerge from their artful boxes.

Devours content -- books, magazines, comics and videos -- with pleasure; More portable than your laptop, more substantial than your smartphone

Stuck behind Apple's backwards restrictions: no multitasking; too few video formats and a lack of flash all hold it back from being the do-all device

Of course it's the best tablet out there... It's made by CrApple and this is CNET. Enough said. Thankfully it's not a Lomas review which never fail to morph into a no holds barred CrApple love in. I have never really been the greatest fan of Apple products.

Another CrApple product designed to make the company more money from the flocks of iSheep that will undoubtedly "upgrade" after only a few months of having the last one

It's another technically sub par CrApple product marketed to brainwashed iSheep to get their money from them

We were all taken aback when Apple released this fourth-generation iPad, not least because it came out at the same time as the iPad Mini , and only six months after the third-gen device had been released. Enter some angry Apple fans who had just paid out for a device that was already out of date.

Great Retina display; Amazingly good battery life; Nice range of apps; 4G support; improved FaceTime camera

Not terribly portable; Lacks memory card slot

We do feel there should be a touch more "awesome" at this price, but once you've gazed adoringly into the Retina Display, you'll struggle to not hate any tablet that isn't this good.

The iPad 4 is the quickest iPad yet and a solid choice for a tablet in which we can barely find fault. However, if you're not in a hurry to buy, it's worth waiting for the rumoured iPad 5, which could launch within months.
