Should You Change To The iPad 2 Now?

By Deanna Beech


There's no doubt that almost all people will have seen or heard of the iPad 2 in some form. Apple releases constantly produce a great deal of buzz. Apple lovers could be the cause of this or is it truly that their products are so good? I would propose it could be both, speaking as a neutral in this. The iPad 2 was launched and released just recently, and it comes just a year after the first iPad was made public. Today, I will look at what has changed with this new release and if switching to the iPad 2 makes sense.

The iPad 2 is a lot smaller than the original iPad model. The iPad 2 is slimmer by about one third of the original but the screen dimensions continue to be unchanged. The weight of the iPad 2 has likewise seen a diminution with it now hitting the scales at a mere 600 grams. Light by any criteria. I've had both an iPad and an iPad 2 and I should state there is an evident deviation in its feel. It would be a faulty assumption to consider that this slimmer, lighter version does not operate as well.

We believe the above thoughts and tips must be taken into account in any discussion on iPad movies. But there is so much more that you would do well to learn. It is difficult to ascertain all the different means by which they can serve you. It should not need to be said that you must perform closer examination of all pertinent points. So we will give you a few more important points to think about.

The iPad 2 has faster speeds than the initial iPad. The graphics processor is bragged by Apple to be 9 times faster than the first iPad. This is a considerable improvement if we assume that as read. Gaming requisites and the introduction of cameras is the reason this had to happen. The processor is also much faster, as Apple have advanced from the old A4 chip to an A5 chip. The A5 chip possesses a dual core processor and it does make a difference to the speed of the recent iPad. Regardless of what I was using, I could see that it was zippier. Loading time is speedier and I notice this when using the web and video functions on both iPads.

The launch of the iPad 2 has also resulted in the addition of two cameras. The cameras are located at the front side and at the rear of the device. This is a major move as the initial iPad had no camera in the least and this may be important to you. One camera takes 720p HD and the other camera isn't as great. FaceTime and PhotoBooth are a couple of new additions to the iPad which let you make video calls and snap interesting photos, respectively. The front camera puts you face-to-face when video calling through FaceTime whereas the iPad's back camera displays your surroundings.

In sum, I would personally recommend upgrading from the original iPad to the iPad 2 if you have the money, however if you're not interested in slightly faster loading times then don't bother. Whilst the upgrades are an improvement, it's nothing significant, apart from maybe the camera which is a brand new inclusion.
