Three years ago the iPad was born. it was boxy, thick and heavy. This week on October 22 Apple announced it's fifth generation iPad and it is a beauty.

The Apple iPad has been a replacement to the traditional laptop since its release in large part because of its long battery life. New reports say that the iPad 3 not only has long life, but will cost very little to charge.

Because AT&T and Verizon are creating new LTE 4G networks, and because tablets might be the new laptops, ordering one of Apple's third generation LTE-enabled, graphically-advanced iPads might seem a tech-savvy move, or even a must.

Apple is known for keeping its new gadget release dates relatively secret, but news of the iPad 3 may have revealed its release date of March 7.

Many are hoping for the release of the iPad 3 or Apple television at the recently announced event, but, many sources are indicating a gathering dedicated to publishing and education.

The next generation of iPad will be thinner and lighter due to an improved and longer lasting battery pack. It will reportedly beat the iPad 2 which is considered very slim at 0.34 inches.
