What Is New With The iPad 2?

By Christine Burningham


The iPad 2 has been in the news, so most of us know that it is out. Apple releases constantly create a lot of buzz. Apple buffs could be the cause of this or is it really that their products are so good? From an unbiased stand, I suppose it is a combination of these. Following on one year from when the first iPad was launched, the iPad 2 can now be purchased. Hence, if you purchased the original model, I will now offer my opinion on if you should consider switching to the iPad 2.

One of the best features is movies for ipad. The iPad 2 is not as big as the original iPad model. The iPad 2 is thinner by approximately 33% of the original but the screen dimensions remain the same. At just 600 grams, the iPad 2 is not as heavy. Not heavy in the least. I've held both an iPad and an iPad 2 and I should say there is a noticeable deviation in its feel. Any thought you may have that it will not function as well, as a result the size alterations, could not be further from the truth.

The iPad 2 works faster than the initial model. For the newest iPad, the performance of the graphics is touted to be nine times as quick according to Apple. This is a remarkable progress if we believe that as read. The reason for this improvement is for demanding games and the camera, which we'll talk about before long. An A5 chip means that Apple likewise now has a processor that is a good deal speedier. The new iPad's A5 dual core processor is what makes it faster than the first model. No matter what I was using, I could see that it was faster. Loading time is quicker and I notice this when using the web and video functions on both iPad models.

The release of the iPad 2 has as well led to the inclusion of two cameras. One is on the front and the other camera is on the rear side. The initial iPad had no cameras in the least, so this is a big feature if you're bothered about having a camera on your device. There is a difference in that one of the cameras can shoot in 720p HD. The iPad 2 has now added FaceTime and Photobooth, giving you the ability to video call and take all sorts of photographs. The front camera puts you face-to-face when video calling when using FaceTime whereas the iPad's back camera shows your surroundings.

Overall, I would personally advise upgrading from the original iPad to the iPad 2 if you can afford it, however if you're not interested in slightly faster loading times then don't bother. Whilst the upgrades are an improvement, it's nothing groundbreaking, apart from possibly the camera which is a brand new addition.
