iPad 3 Upgraded iOS 1.5 Operating System Reviewed

The 3rd generation iPad comes equipped with Apple’s most recent operating system upgrade, iOS 5.1. In addition to fixing some key bugs and other issues that were identified across Apple’s various products, including improved battery life and strengthened Wi-Fi signal strength, iOS 5.1 offers a variety of new and improved features for the newly released iPad 3rd generation model.

The New iPad Camera App Improvements

One of the first things users will notice about the new 2012 iPad’s upgraded operating system is the improved camera app. Newly redesigned, the app is sure to allow consumers to make the best of the impressive 5 megapixel camera and the vastly improved retina display that the new iPad offers.
Along the same lines, iOS 5.1 has also changed the way face detection works when you take pictures using the iPad. Where as before the iPad’s camera app was only able to highlight one face per picture, the new OS allows for the possibility of detecing all faces in the photo. These developments aim to allow new iPad users to use the device much more efficiently as a camera, and thus distinguish it from other tablets on the market.

iPad’s Improved Photo Stream – Ability to Delete Single Photos

Another significant improvement with iOS 5.1 that users of the new iPad will notice is the capacity to delete single photos from Photo Stream. Users were previously unable to eliminate just one individual photo from the service, which meant that in order to take advantage of the greatly anticipated Photo Stream, users had to accept the fact that mixed in with their great photos would also be the blurry pictures, the unusable ones or simply the images that you just didn’t want to share with the world; users were stuck with the previous 1,000 images they had snapped regardless of their quality.
With the new iPad’s updated operating system, however, Apple users can now select which photos they want to us with Photo Stream and then discard the others, instead of having to reset and delete the entire stream each time.

iPad 3 has Improved User Experience

There are a host of other updates that are included with the new iPad’s iOS 5.1 which are aimed at improving the overall experience for its users. When watching shows and movies on the new iPad for example, you will notice that the sound has been optimized to be louder and cleaner.
You can now control payback speed and perform a 30 second rewind on the iPad 3, and a few tweaks have been made to the way bookmarks open automatically in Safari. Finally, iPad users who have a non-Wi Fi device will now be able to download up to 50 megabytes when they are connected to 3G, instead of the previous limit of 20 megabytes.
