Watching a few minutes of the movie "Hugo"
proved to be even more lustrous on the new iPad than it on my 52-inch
flat-panel TV at home. Apple says this should be a routine experience,
given that the new iPad can accommodate about a million more pixels
than even the best HDTVs currently on the market .... Read more at technology
Though
the iPad 2 is an improvement on the original iPad in numerous ways,
it’s still an evolutionary product, not a revolutionary one. If you’re
