Apple's website now features the new "resolutionary" iPad in all its rich visual glory. It sports a Retina display with 2048 x 1536 resolution at a pixel density of 264ppi, double that of the iPad 2. It runs on an upgraded A5X dual-core processor that features quad-core graphics for a vast performance boost without the battery drain. The rear-facing iSight camera now boasts a 5-megapixel resolution with support for 1080p HD video capture at 30fps.

The new iPad comes in two versions, the WiFi-only and the WiFi plus 4G LTE, the latter of which will run on both Verizon and AT&T at launch. Pricing for the WiFi-only version starts at $499 for the 16GB model, while the 4G LTE version starts at $629. The 16GB iPad 2 will remain on shelves alongside the new iPad and will get a price reduction to $399 for the WiFi-only model and $529 for the WiFi plus 3G model.
