Apple's new iPad model, with a sharper screen and a faster processor, will go on sale in the US and six other countries next Friday, the company confirmed Wednesday. Prices aren't changing from the previous models. They will start at $499. Versions capable of accessing cellular networks will cost $629 to $829. Apple said the new display will be sharper than the high-definition television set in the living room. The company says it will show more saturated colors than previous models. The company said the iPad is powered by a new chip with four processing cores, for smoother graphics. At the launch event in San Francisco, Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook said, ``We are taking it to a whole new level and are redefining the category that Apple created with the original iPad.'' Earlier, Cook spoke of a ``post-PC'' era dominated by the iPad and other Apple products. In addition to the US, the new tablet will go on sale in Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland and Japan on March 16. Compared to the iPad 2, the new model features a higher-resolution camera on the back, similar to the one in the iPhone 4S. |
