Many people thought that iPad 3 should be different, but it's NOT. Apple confirmed it's "New iPad", it’s almost exactly the same as the shape of iPad 2 only. The height of New iPad be heavy abit than iPad 2 because New iPad's heavier: 1.44 pounds and iPad 2: 1.33. It also have new applications; iBook, iPhoto, iLife, GarageBand, iMovie, and iWork. Find more info about the apps by Apple.
About Siri, iPhone 4S also have it, make some people think iPad 3 will have Siri too. But, New iPad don't have it, Apple installed new feature, Voice Dictationa is a handy new button on the bottom of the keyboard which looks like a microphone Siri. For me, Deaf people don't need this feature.

Depends on your interest, if you want the fast-speeding internet, you can use Wifi+4G connects to fast data networks. eg, you can download movies, browse websites, and stream TV online at blazing-fast speeds. Mean you need to buy data plan from Digi or Celcom or Maxis for 4G internet.
If you use Wifi, use normal speed connection... You can get anywhere which have Wifi spot. Eg, your home got wireless broadband, you can use Wifi to connect home wireless. You also can access internet with normal connection.
If you are very active at Internet everyday, use Wifi + 4G. Haha.
