What Can You Expect From The iPad 2?



by Linda Baine


For most of us, it is impossible to escape the fact that the iPad 2 is out. Apple releases constantly create a good deal of buzz. Possibly it's thanks to all the fan boys, or is it simply because Apple makes quality products? I would suggest it could be either, speaking as an unbiased onlooker in this. The iPad 2 was introduced and released very recently, and it comes just a year after the first iPad was made available. The one question that enters almost all people's minds is 'is it worth upgrading to the new iPad?', and that is the question I will attempt to answer in this mini-review.

The iPad 2 is smaller compared to the original iPad model. The iPad 2's screen size has stayed the same at a pleasant 9.7 inches; however, the thickness of this newer model has been reduced by 33% of the original size, which of course is a nice thing. The iPad 2 is likewise weighs less, weighing just over 600g. That's light. These alterations are touchable as I found by holding the iPad and iPad 2. Don't think a thinner and lighter design means the operation is affected, because boy oh boy would you be incorrect...

Don't forget that you can also enjoy ipad movies downloads. The iPad 2 is a lot faster than the initial model. The graphics processor is bragged by Apple to be 9 times faster than the initial iPad. If that is accurate, it is a big step forward. The thinking behind this is deu to new cameras and what is needed for games. An A5 chip implies that Apple also now has a processor that is a great deal speedier. The reason that it is rapid is because the iPad 2 has a dual core A5 processing chip. I certainly observed it was zippier, even with lots of programs working in the background. If I use several media on the original iPad and then the latest iPad, the improved load speed time is marked.

The iPad 2 now comes with two cameras. One camera is on the front and the other camera is on the rear. The first iPad had no cameras the least bit, so this is a major feature if you're bothered about having a camera on your device. One camera takes 720p HD and the second camera isn't as good. The iPad 2 has now added FaceTime and Photobooth, offering you the ability to video call and snap all sorts of pictures. The front camera puts you face-to-face when video calling through FaceTime whereas the iPad's back camera shows your surroundings.

If you are able to afford it and desire the new faster processing times then changing from the first iPad to iPad 2 probably makes sense. While the upgrades are an improvement, it's nothing significant, apart from maybe the camera which is a brand new inclusion.
