All New iPad Giveaway courtesy of SlashGear

The day has arrived, details were given, and it's finally here! The all new iPad from Apple. Putting all those rumors to rest we now know everything about the new iPad (3rd Generation) and you can learn everything and more from our Apple Hub. Lucky for all of you we here at SlashGear decided to share with our friends, and will be giving a new iPad 16GB WiFi away to one lucky reader. Head down below for addition details and full giveaway rules.

This "Resolutionary" new iPad boasts an impressive full 1080p HD Retina display with a 2048×1536 resolution (264 pixel-per-inch) making it the best mobile screen we've seen yet — by a wide margin. Apple's also improved the processor with the new Apple A5X chip offering 4x the graphics performance over the competition for some truly impressive gameplay. All of this and more was detailed in our Apple Hub linked to above so I wont go into details. Instead lets talk about how you can win your very own directly from SlashGear.

UPDATE: We have a winner! His name is Richard H, and as he notes he'll be doing the following with his brand new iPad courtesy of SlashGear:
