Should You Make the Switch To The iPad 2?

By John Barton


For many of us, it is inconceivable to escape the fact that the iPad 2 is out. There is constantly a lot of media coverage of anything Apple do. Is this because of Apple's product line being terrific or simply racket from their hardcore fan base? From an impartial stand, I suppose it is a combination of these. Following on one year from when the first iPad was introduced, the iPad 2 is now available. In the rest of this article, I will look at what has changed with this innovative product and if going over to the iPad 2 makes sense.

When it comes to physical size, the iPad 2 is a lot smaller in size in comparison to the original iPad. It is nice to note that the iPad 2 is skinnier, to the tune of 33% in comparison to the first iPad, and that the size of the screen remains the same. The weight of the iPad 2 has likewise seen a reduction with it now hitting the scales at a mere 600 grams. Light by any standards. I've held both an iPad and an iPad 2 and I must declare there is an evident deviation in its feel. Don't think a thinner 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. One thing we tend to think you will discover is the right info you need will take its cues from your current predicament. There are always some things that will have more of an effect than others. The best strategy is to try to imagine the effects each point could have on you. We will now move ahead and talk more about a few points in detail.

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, onto the new addition of the cameras; not only one, but two cameras are on the iPad 2. The two cameras are set at the front and at the rear. If you like the idea of having a camera, then you will welcome this modification of stance considering when the iPad was originally released, there were no cameras. One camera takes 720p HD and the other camera isn't as wonderful. Video calling and fun photographs are now possible with the new iPad with the inclusion of FaceTime and Photobooth. The front camera places you face-to-face when video calling when using FaceTime whereas the iPad's back camera gives a view of your surroundings.

Moving up from the iPad to the iPad 2 is, I would suppose, for those who feel the need for the faster processors and have the available cash. If we disregard the cameras, then the modifications are not earth-shattering but do make it a better model.
