New iPad vs iPad 2 vs iPad

Apple gave the new iPad a bunch of new features but no new name.

When it goes on sale next week in the US and several other countries, it will be "the iPad" or perhaps "the new iPad" - not "iPad 3" or "iPad HD," as some had speculated.

The new iPad revealed Wednesday has, as expected, a sharper screen, driven by a faster processing chip that acts as the "brains" of the device. What was more surprising was that the new features mean the tablet computer will be slightly thicker and heavier than the iPad 2, because it needs a larger battery to power the high-resolution screen.
