The new Apple iPad does support Long Term Evolution fourth generation networks operated by AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
And though we have all been calling the device the iPad 3, Apple does not.
That feature won't be used, in all likelihood, by most buyers of the new device.
By some estimates about 25 percent of iPads have been sold with the 3G access capability. That doesn't mean the users all activated the 3G mobile broadband service, only that the devices were capable of doing so.
Still, some believe the higher-resolution and faster connections will convince more users to buy new Long Term Evolution mobile broadband service. The sharper "Retina" display offers resolution some will argue is better than HDTV, for example.
