Best iPad for Celtic heroes?

Well I have been playing CH on my iPod and I'm going to get an iPad. After I read some stuff, I'm not too convinced on the third iPad (The new iPad) because it takes 7 hours to charge fully!!! I play for hours and hours so should I sacrifice the beauty of the new iPads display over the time I can play on it? The iPad 2 has a nice display also but not as much as the other one. But it charges fully in 3 hours! I don't know what to pick. If I do end up getting the iPad 2 I save $100 but i'd miss out on some other things the new iPad has . Any opinions?

Personally, I'd buy the new one (been thinking about it actually...). You're right, the charge time is loooong, but you can also play on your iPod while it charges and do other things when you can't play. Or try to arrange it so that it charges during the night. Personally, I play CH while charging my device but I know its not good for the battery. The batteries don't have a memory effect these days (meaning you'll have to load/drain the battery the first few times to get full capacity and once a month to keep capacity high). So, if you play a little, then need to do something, you can hook it up to charge quickly.
The thing is... Apple brings out a new device every year with new features. the latest iPad might profit from (at least some) of these features while older devices stay behind (unless jailbroken).
On a more technical level... does one really need a retina display? I don't know. I haven't seen too much of a difference tbh. The iPad screen is so small that it doesn't make that big of a difference. The iPad2 is slightly thinner then the iPad3 (though you don't really notice it). The iPad3 camera has more pixel (though pixel aren't the only thing that make a good camera), but I wouldn't walk around with an iPad making videos.

Hi there
I'd get the iPad3 because the game runs higher resolution, plus we have made a start at a brand new engine which will support all sorts of fancy effects like reflections etc, and when this comes out hopefully late this year these effects will look much better on newer devices.
Thanks!
