What Are the New Features in The iPad 2?

By Susan Beattie


There's no question that nearly all individuals will have seen or heard of the iPad 2 in some form. Apple launches constantly create a good deal of buzz. Is this due to Apple's product line being terrific or just noise from their loyal fan base? I would propose it could be either, speaking as a neutral in this. Following on one year from when the original iPad was introduced, the iPad 2 is now in the market. In the rest of this article, I will look at what different with this recent product and if moving to the iPad 2 is a good idea.

You'll now be able to use ipad movies downloads. The iPad 2 is a lot smaller than the original iPad model. The iPad 2's screen size has stayed the same at a pleasant 9.7 inches; nevertheless, the thickness of the second iPad has been reduced by 33% of the original size, which of course is a nice thing. At just 600 grams, the iPad 2 is much lighter. Not heavy in the least. If you take in your hands the iPad and the new iPad 2, the alteration in design can be experienced. Don't think a thinner and lighter design means the operation is affected, because boy oh boy would you be inaccurate...

Comparing to the original iPad, the iPad 2 is faster. The graphics processor is touted by Apple to be 9 times faster than the initial iPad. If that is accurate, it is a huge jump forward. The rationale behind this is deu to new cameras and what is required for games. The processor is likewise much quicker, as Apple have advanced from the old A4 chip to an A5 chip. The latest iPad's A5 dual core processor is what makes it quicker than the first model. No matter what I was using, I could distinguish that it was faster. I've as well checked out both the original iPad and new iPad side by side and I can definitely say you observe things, such as web pages and video, loading faster.

The availability of the iPad 2 has as well resulted in the addition of two cameras. One camera is on the front and the other is on the rear. If you like having the idea of having a camera, then you will embrace this shift of stance since when the iPad was first released, there were no cameras. There is a difference in that one of the cameras can snap in 720p HD. Video calling and fun photos are now possible with the new iPad with the add-on of FaceTime and Photobooth. With FaceTime, the front camera permits your calling partner to see your face and the back camera lets your partner see what you can see, on the back side of the iPad.

Overall, I would personally urge changing over 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. The additional features are not that groundbreaking, although you do now have cameras and overall the enhancements are good.
