Is The iPad 2 Worth Getting?

By Glen Abraham


There's no question that majority of folks will have seen or heard of the iPad 2 in some form. Apple launches constantly produce a lot of buzz. Perhaps it's thanks to all the fan boys, or is it simply because Apple produces quality products? I would suggest it could be either, speaking as an impartial person in this. The iPad 2 was announced and released very recently, and it comes merely a year after the first iPad was made available. The query that enters almost all people's minds is 'is it worth getting the new iPad?', and that is the question I will attempt to resolve in this mini-review.

As for the physical size, the iPad 2 is a lot smaller in size in comparison to the first iPad. The iPad 2 is thinner by roughly a third of the original although the screen dimensions continue to be unchanged. The iPad 2 is likewise much lighter, weighing just a little more than 600g. Light by any criteria. I've had both an iPad and an iPad 2 and I must say there is an evident deviation in its feel. Any thought you may have that it will not work as well, because of the size alterations, could not be more incorrect.

These few things to consider will make a difference in your information as they relate to iPad movies. However is that all there is? Not by a long shot - you really can expand your knowledge greatly, and we will help you. We believe they are terrific and will aid you in your pursuit for solutions. Getting a high altitude overview will be of immense benefit to you. But we have saved the best for last, and you will understand what we mean once you have read through.

The iPad 2 is a lot faster than the first one. For one, Apple brags that its graphics processor is nine times quicker than the first iPad. This is a remarkable advancement if we take that as read. The rationale behind this is as a result of new cameras and what is necessary for games. The processor is also much faster, as Apple have advanced from the old A4 chip to an A5 chip. The reason that it is quick is because the iPad 2 features a dual core A5 processing chip. I definitely noted it was faster, even with a lot of programs working in the background. I've likewise looked at both the new and old iPad side by side and I can surely say you observe things, such as web pages and video, loading quicker.

Now, let's move on to the new addition of the cameras; not only one, but two cameras are on the iPad 2. These are set at the front side and at the back. The initial iPad didn't come with cameras at all, 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 record in 720p HD. The iPad 2 decided to add FaceTime and Photobooth, giving you the ability to video call and snap all kinds of pictures. With FaceTime, the front camera lets your calling partner to watch you and the back camera allows him to see what you can see, on the back side of the iPad.

If you have money and want the new speedier processing times then making the switch from the first iPad to iPad 2 probably makes sense. If we discount the cameras, then the alterations are not groundbreaking but do make it a better model.
