The new iPad's most obvious new feature is the Retina display, but the screen's true beauty lies in the fact that it becomes less and less obvious as one owns and uses the product (which, I think, is its intended effect). Comparisons to a glowing piece of paper are completely justified. Seriously, you will never look at a display the same way again. It looks beautiful and is fast and speedy, but the biggest attraction of iPad is enjoying apps on that gorgeous screen. iCloud has brought Apple's optimistic dream of cloud services (starting with iTunes and the App Store) to reality, and I am sure it will only get better. iPad is the perfect combination of hardware, software, and services. Wait no longer. The future has arrived. And its name is iPad.
