We've been able to acquire the new iPad and I thought it might be apt to compare it with one of the leading Android tablets around, the Transformer Prime. And to be fair to the iPad 3, we're detaching the keyboard dock on the Prime for this exercise. Comparing the new iPad 3 to the Asus Transformer Prime might look easy on paper but actual features will vary and be in favor of the other during real-world use. First up is the display -- clearly the new iPad, with its 2048x1536 pixel resolution, beats the crap out of the Transformer Prime which has only 1280x800 pixels.

Still, the iPad with its full HD display prevails. On paper, the 8MP camera of the Prime beats the iPad 3's 5MP shooter but in the end it's the quality of photos and videos that will matter. So far, the photos on the iPad are much more focused, cleaner and sharper. Read more in our articles including "The new iPad 3 vs. Asus Transformer Prime" and "Blogging with the iPad".
