The new iPad : Resolutionary!

No it's not iPad 3 or iPad HD! It's the new "iPad". 

Nothing entirely innovative or NEW, but the spec bump beats most of the tablets out there!




So there's a reason after call Apple calls it resolutionary! The resolution of the retina screen is 2048 x 1536 pixels with a 264 pixels per inch!

Other notable features are the new processor and GPU that Apple calls A5X and it claims to be twice as fast and contains four times the graphical processing power than the Tegra 3. Goodbye Asus Transformer Prime? Probably. It's still dual core, though.

There's a new camera, a 5MP, obviously with 1080p recording and the front VGA camera is still present.

There's 4G LTE connectivity too!

With all the processing power, the battery life still seems to be par with the iPad 2!

The 16GB WiFi Only Model starts from $499. Go, pre-order!

Android Key Lime Pie to follow Jelly Beans!

Yesterday it was confirmed that Jelly Beans will follow Ice Cream Sandwich in the Android sweets related OS naming convention.

However, therage.com has uncovered what's next. I took a wild guess thinking it would be Kola Kubes but it's Key Lime Pie!

It's confirmed! Android 5.0 will be called Jelly Beans

It's been a while since we knew that the next version of Android (After ICS) would be called Jelly Beans. But now, Asus has confirmed it! Speaking to TechRadar, ASUS' Corporate Vice President Benson Lin has said


"Asus is very close to Google, so once they have Android 5.0 I think there will be a high possibility that we will be the first wave to offer the Jelly Bean update."


So the version number 5.0 indeed will be called Jelly Beans.

Also, placed in the middle of Google's private meeting area is a bowl of Jelly Beans!
