What Should You Expect From The iPad 2?

By Sandy Bizzaro


For the majority of us, it is impossible to escape the fact that the iPad 2 is now available. There is constantly a great deal of hype when it comes to Apple products. Maybe it's because of all the fan boys, or is it merely because Apple produces quality products? I would propose it could be one or the other, talking as an unbiased onlooker in this. One year separates the launching dates of the iPad and now the iPad 2. So, if you purchased the first model, I will now give my opinion on if you should consider shifting to the iPad 2.

One of the best features is the ability to download ipad movies. When it comes to physical size, the iPad 2 is smaller in comparison to the first iPad. The iPad 2 is thinner by roughly 33% of the original although the screen dimensions continue to be unaltered. The iPad 2 is also much lighter, weighing just over 600g. That's very light. If you take in your hands the iPad and the new iPad 2, the modification in design can be felt. Any thought you may have that it will not function as well, because of the size alterations, could not be more incorrect.

In comparison to the first model, the iPad 2 is faster. For the new iPad, the performance of the graphics is touted to be nine times as rapid according to Apple. That is a huge improvement, if what they say is correct. The thinking behind this is because of new cameras and what is necessary for games. An A5 chip implies that Apple likewise now has a processor that is a lot speedier. The reason it is fast is because the iPad 2 features a dual core A5 processing chip. No matter what I was using, I could see that it was speedier. If I use several media on the original iPad and then the newer iPad, the faster load speed time is evident.

Now, onto the other addition of the cameras; not only one, but two cameras are on the iPad 2. One camera is on the front and the other is on the rear. This is a major move as the original iPad did not have camera at all and this may be essential to you. There is a difference in that one of the cameras can shoot in 720p HD. Video calling and fun photos are now feasible with the new iPad with the addition of FaceTime and Photobooth. The front camera places you face-to-face when video calling using FaceTime whereas the iPad's back camera shows your surroundings.

If you can afford it and desire the new quicker processing times then upgrading from the first iPad to iPad 2 probably makes sense. The new features are not that groundbreaking, although you do now have cameras and all in all the enhancements are excellent.
