And here it is about it in my hands first hands on of this device he's really been noticeably thinner of course -- the other iPad and here's the original iPad and much much -- it's about 53%.
Lighter.
And 23%.
Thinner just look at the size of the new art editing cannot -- on the screen here as you can actually see.
How it lines up.

So you can notice -- he did absolutely.
-- down form factor it seven point nine inches so.
All of the apps that are currently running on the iPad three and the iPad two will run on this device.

FaceBook here -- you can see what that looks like.
It seems more of a consumption experience doesn't seem like you're going to be doing a whole lot of document presentation and other things on this device but it is wider so it gives you more screen real estate that you would get on some of those other seven inch tablets.
How the form factors -- it is not a Retina Display so it has the same resolution as the iPad two.
Very nice display however you can definitely see that it's not a Retina Display.
