Apple News-- New iPad & stocks.

Gadget lovers in Australia and Japan became the first people to snap up the new iPad on Friday,with that Apple's stock's soared to a first time high of $600 per share.

Google and other companies are having a rough time keeping up with the iPad; Apple’s 3rd generation tablet will be hitting the market tomorrow, and Apple isn’t slowing down any time soon.

The new tablet boasts a new “Retina Display” , as Apple calls it. This display has 4 times the amount of pixels of the previous generation. For some perspective, this display has about 30% more pixels than your HD TV.  The new A5X processor gives the iPad enough power to drive this extremely dense display. Even with all of this extra power, the iPad still keeps the legendary 10 hour battery life it's lineup is known for.

According to Yahoo! News, some people in Australia have already received their iPads. Australians, and tech reviewers are saying that "Once you go to the Retina Display, you never go back to old displays again." It sounds like the few people who got their iPads early really enjoy their new product.


Meanwhile, Apple's stocks have been soaring, even reaching the $600 mark today. Just two years ago, Apple's stocks were at $222. Even one week ago, on March 8th, Apple stocks were almost $70 less than they are today. At least hope lies for one company in these tough economic times.


Overall, the new iPad will  bring some new features to consumers, and some big bucks to the mega-corporation.
