What Are the New Features in The iPad 2?

By Jane Devetta


For many of us, it is impossible to escape the fact that the iPad 2 has launched. There is always a lot of ballyhoo when it comes to Apple products. Is this due to Apple's product line being great or just racket from their loyal fan base? From an unbiased stand, I believe it is a combination of these. Following on one year from when the original iPad was released, the iPad 2 is now available. The one question that goes into virtually all people's minds is 'is it worth buying the new iPad?', and that is the question I will try to answer in this mini-review.

Regarding the physical size, the iPad 2 is tinier in comparison to the original iPad. The size of the screen continues to be the same at a pleasant 9.7 inches; nonetheless, the thickness of iPad 2 has been reduced by a third of the original size, which of course is a nice thing. The weight of the iPad 2 has likewise seen a decrease with it now tipping the scales at just 600 grams. Not heavy the least bit. These alterations are tangible as I discovered by holding the iPad and iPad 2. Don't think a slimmer and lighter design means the function is affected, because boy oh boy would you be incorrect...

So you can see that iPad movies is a subject that you have to be careful when you are finding out about it. What I have realized is it really just depends on your goals and needs as it relates to your particular situation. There are always some points that will have more of an influence than others. No matter what, your careful consideration to the matter at hand is something you and all of us have to do. But let's keep going because we have some excellent tips for you to give serious attention.

When compared to the first model, the iPad 2 is quicker. For the new iPad, the performance of the graphics is announced to be nine times as fast according to Apple. That is a huge improvement, if what they say is true. Gaming requisites and the introduction of cameras is why this had to take place. Also, the switch from an A4 to an A5 chip implies that Apple has a quick processor inside. The reason that it is rapid is because the iPad 2 has a dual core A5 processing chip. Regardless of what I was using, I could tell that it was speedier. I've also checked out both the new and old iPad side by side and I can surely say you note things, such as web pages and video, loading much faster.

Now, let's move on to the recent addition of the cameras; not just one, but two cameras are on the iPad 2. You will find these fixed at both the back of the device and the front side. If you care for the idea of having a camera, then you will like this shift of stance since when the iPad was initially released, there were no cameras. There is a difference in that one of the cameras can shoot in 720p HD. Video calling and fun photographs are now possible with the new iPad with the add-on of FaceTime and Photobooth. The back camera, when making use of FaceTime on the iPad, displays where you are as opposed to the front camera that permits you see each other.

If you are able to afford it and wish the new faster processing times then upgrading from the first iPad to iPad 2 probably makes sense. The additional features are not that earth-shattering, although you do now have cameras and overall the enhancements are excellent.
