Should You Make the Switch To The iPad 2?

By Peter Carlson


The iPad 2 has been in the news, so almost of us know that it now available. Apple launches invariably produce a good deal of buzz. Maybe it's thanks to all the fan boys, or is it merely because Apple develops quality products? From an unprejudiced viewpoint, I believe it is a combination of these. The iPad 2 was launched and released very recently, and it comes merely 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 is a good idea.

The first thing to observe with the iPad 2 is the decrease in size. The screen size has stayed the same at a pleasant 9.7 inches; nevertheless, the thickness of this newer model has been reduced by a third of the original size, which of course is a great thing. The weight of the iPad 2 has also seen a diminution with it now tipping the scales at a mere 600 grams. Light by any measures. I've held both an iPad and an iPad 2 and I must state there is an obvious divergence in its feel. Any thought you may have that it will not perform as well, due to the size alterations, could not be more wrong.

There just is no denying about the ability of iPad movies to dramatically alter some situations is incredible. At times there is simply way too much to even attempt to cover in one go, and that is important for you to realize and take home. But I wanted to pause for a moment so you can reflect on the value of what you have just read. We are highly confident about the ability of what we offer, today, to make a difference. The balance of this article is not to be overlooked because it can make a huge difference.

The iPad 2 works faster than the original iPad. First up, Apple touts that its graphics processor is nine times faster than the initial iPad. If that is right, it is a huge jump forward. The reason for this improvement is for demanding games and the camera, which we'll discuss soon. Plus, the change from an A4 to an A5 chip means that Apple has a quick processor inside. The newly released iPad's A5 dual core processor is what makes it speedier than the last model. No matter what I was using, I could tell that it was zippier. I've likewise taken a look at both the original iPad and new iPad side by side and I can definitely say you note things, such as web pages and video, loading faster.

The launch of the iPad 2 has as well caused the addition of two cameras. You will find two cameras fixed at both the rear and the front side. This is a significant move as the first iPad had no camera the least bit and this may be important to you. A slightly better capability of one of the cameras is the ability to photograph in 720p HD. Video calling and fun photographs are now achievable with the new iPad with the inclusion of FaceTime and Photobooth. The back camera, when running FaceTime on the iPad, displays where you are as opposed to the front camera that permits you see each other.

All in all, I would personally urge 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. If we dismiss the cameras, then the changes are not significant but do make it a better model.
