About this iPad
The iPad 3 was engineered more for content creation with improved cameras (5 MP rear camera and 1080p VGA quality front camera) and a higher RAM of 1 GB. All its content consumption activities remained available but the 3rd Generation iPad was a better tablet with more attractive options in-built into it.
The resolution for display certainly gave it a more attractive display and output for the consumption of prepared materials or created works.
