The new iPad is officially launching this Friday, but as is becoming more common these days, sources in Asia have managed to get their hands on Apple's 3rd generation tablet a few days early and put it through the perfunctory unboxing.

Following its introduction last week, the idea that the new iPad was "unbeatable" began to get a lot of attention, primarily due to an article with that very title. Indeed, when seeing a product like the new iPad, it's easy to get swept away -- there's just so much technology wrapped in so beautiful a package for such an unbelievable price that it's almost impossible not to.
