Apple CEO Tim Cook stated at the company’s event that Apple has sold its 100 millionth iPad in just two and a half years. It comes in black and white models, and it’s screen resolution is 1024 x 768 just like the first iPad and iPad 2, but the screen size is 7.9-inches. 4G LTE support is available for the cellular model, an Apple dual-core A5 processor, a FaceTime HD camera on the front, and 5 megapixel iSight camera on the back with 1080p HD video capture. It starts at $329 for the Wi-Fi model
