If you haven't heard by now, the newest generation iPad was released today. It is pretty similar to the iPad 2, but the major updates include a super high definition retina display, a faster processing chip, a better built in camera, HD video recording, and 4G LTE network access on certain models. Tech jargon aside, I think that the most relevant news to the library world is that they will continue to sell the iPad 2 for a reduced price. This may mean more patrons could afford to purchase them and use them for audio and ebook downloads among other things. It also means software updates are coming- if you have issues with an iPad in the coming weeks I would suggest updating their device to patrons. The new toy rolls out on March 16th.
