What Is New With The iPad 2?

By Allen Bramhall


The iPad 2 has been featured a lot in the news, so most of us know that it has been released. There is invariably a good deal of ballyhoo when it comes to Apple products. Maybe it's due to all the fan boys, or is it merely because Apple develops quality products? Coming from somebody who is impartial, I'd say it's somewhat a bit of the two. Twelve months separate the launch dates of the iPad and now the iPad 2. Hence, if you bought the initial model, I will now offer my opinion on if you should consider changing to the iPad 2.

The iPad 2 is a lot smaller than the original iPad model. The size of the screen has remained the same at a pleasant 9.7 inches; however, the thickness of the second iPad has been reduced by 33% of the original size, which of course is a good thing. At just 600 grams, the iPad 2 is much lighter. That's much lighter. I've held both an iPad and an iPad 2 and I should state there is an obvious divergence in its feel. It would be a wrong supposition to believe that this thinner, lighter version does not run as well.

Don't forget that you can also enjoy ipad movies downloads. The iPad 2 works faster than the initial iPad. First, Apple touts that its graphics processor is nine times speedier than the first iPad. If that is accurate, it is a significant step forward. The reason for this improvement is for demanding games and the camera, which we'll come onto before long. An A5 chip would mean that Apple likewise now has a processor that is a lot faster. The A5 chip features a dual core processor and it makes a difference to the speed of the new iPad. Irrespective of what I was using, I could distinguish that it was faster. I've as well looked at both the iPad and iPad 2 side by side and I can definitely say you note things, such as web pages and video, loading faster.

The iPad 2 now features two cameras. One camera is on the front and the second camera is on the rear side. This is a major move as the original iPad had no camera at all and this may be essential to you. A more or less better capability of one of the cameras is the ability to film in 720p HD. Video calling and fun pictures are now possible with the new iPad with the inclusion of FaceTime and Photobooth. With FaceTime, the front camera permits your calling partner to see you and the back camera lets him see what you can see, on the back side of the iPad.

Moving up from the iPad to the iPad 2 is, I would state, for folks who feel the need for the faster processors and are able to afford it. Although the upgrades are an improvement, it's nothing significant, apart from perhaps the camera which is a brand new addition.
