Responses to the new iPad

When the much-awaited new iPad was first released, fans flocked to be the first to have one. They lined up at the various stores, purchased iPad 3 protective cases and various accessories, downloaded apps—basically, they got themselves very excited and set expectations high. More consumers than ever before purchased the new devices.

In addition to individual consumers, companies have reported an increase in tablet and iPad use throughout their organizations. The majority of IT decision-makers consider iPads and tablets as great tools for increasing productivity. Many who do not currently use these devices plan to employ them in the next six months—this means an increase in demand among the actual devices, as well as iPad3 cases and covers, android tablet covers and cases, and the various accessories.

A surprising stat that was revealed in a survey by the CDW IT Monitor showed that IT decision makers revealed that tablets have replaced 19 percent of their company’s PCs. This explains the increase in demand for android tablet covers and cases and accessories—and is a surprise for Mac purveyors.
Individual consumers are particularly impressed with the new iPhoto and iMovie apps, which both take advantage of the device’s retina display. In addition, the front and rear cameras were also improved—the rear camera is now 5 MP, with the ability to record 1080p video at 30 frames per second. The quality of the display and faster graphics make it easier to read, watch videos and play games—and is less taxing on the eyes. All in all, these improved features are instilling a loyalty among customers, which is evidenced by the sales of iPad cases and covers to protect these invaluable devices.

The new iPad also supports the same magnetic iPad cases and covers as the iPad 2. While there were originally rumors about the new iPad’s slimmer dimensions rendering older cases moot, many have found them to be interchangeable.
