Finally: A truly magical iPad<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Everybody\u2019s excited about the new Apple iPad<\/a>\u2018s high-resolution screen. But ultimately, the Retina display<\/a> is just a pretty face. It can\u2019t do anything that the screens on previous models couldn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n

In fact, just about all of the features that are considered \u201cnew\u201d in the newiPad<\/a> are really just bigger helpings of the old capabilities: More pixels on the screen. More graphics performance. More megapixels in the camera. More megabits per second with the mobile broadband connection. There\u2019s more of everything. But what\u2019s fundamentally different?<\/p>\n

One of the least appreciated new features is one that truly brings entirely new capabilities to the iPad. That feature is Bluetooth 4.0<\/a> support.<\/p>\n
