New iPad

After a year long, I'm back to the blogger and doing more posting. Nothing related to programming but it is more related to the new gadget! Yup, the new gadget, iPad. Well, apple is dropping the number so no more iPad 3 but just iPad.

The one I bought is black as I'm sharing it with my wife and my wife like black:

The new iPad looks great. I don't have iPad 2 and I only had iPad 1 before. Compare to iPad 1, the new iPad is way faster. For the weight, I guess it's almost like iPad 1 so I can accept it.

I opened it the date that release and linked it to my apple account. Everything seems OK. Checked the battery and it showed 86%. OK, used it for a night and tried to charge the iPad. Woke the next day and the battery went back to 86%!!!! I was so worry as I'm not sure why it didn't charge to 100%. Did some research and found out, the new iPad needs the 10W USB power supply as the old one I got is only do 5W! Plugged into the new 10W and tried to charge it, works without issue. oops...

I went to the apple store today and I already saw the new 10W USB:

Hope the information helps as I guess there are so many people out there that still using their old iPad USB charger.
