What Is New With The iPad 2?

By Jean Baines


The iPad 2 has been in the news, so most of us are aware that it has been released. Apple launches always create a lot of buzz. Possibly it's because of all the fan boys, or is it just because Apple produces quality products? From an impartial standpoint, I think it is a combination of these. Following on one year from when the first iPad was launched, the iPad 2 is now available. Today, I will look at what different with this new release and if going over to the iPad 2 makes sense.

The first thing to notice with the iPad 2 is the reduction in in terms of size. The screen size has stayed the same at a nice 9.7 inches; nevertheless, the thickness of the second iPad has been reduced by one third of the original size, which of course is a great thing. At just 600 grams, the iPad 2 is not as heavy. That's very light. I've held both an iPad and an iPad 2 and I should say there is a noticeable difference in its feel. It would be an incorrect presumption to think that this slimmer, lighter version does not run as well.

Well, what do you feel about that so far? There is a great deal within the body of information surrounding iPad movies. We have discovered other folks think these points are valuable in their search. Sometimes it can be tough to get a distinct picture until you discover more. It is always a wise decision to determine what your situations call for, and then go from that point. You will discover the rest of this article contributes to the groundwork you have built up to this stage.

The iPad 2 works faster than the original one. The graphics processor is bragged by Apple to be 9 times quicker than the original iPad. This is a considerable improvement if we believe that as read. Gaming requirements and the introduction of cameras is the reason this had to come about. Plus, the switch from an A4 to an A5 chip means that Apple has a better processor inside. The A5 chip possesses a dual core processor and it does make a difference to the speed of the recent iPad. Irrespective of what I was using, I could tell that it was zippier. If I use the various media on the original iPad and then the new iPad, the improved load speed time is noticeable.

The launch of the iPad 2 has likewise resulted in the inclusion of two cameras. The cameras are situated at the front and at the back. If you like the idea of having a camera, then you will embrace this shift of stance as when the iPad was initially released, there were no cameras. One camera shoots 720p HD and the other isn't as wonderful. FaceTime and PhotoBooth are a couple of new additions to the iPad which give you the ability to make video calls and snap interesting pictures, respectively. With FaceTime, the front camera lets 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 suppose, for those who feel the need for the faster processors and have money. Even though the upgrades are an improvement, it's nothing serious, apart from perhaps the camera which is a brand new inclusion.
