Should You Change To The iPad 2?

By Edward Feinberg


The iPad 2 has been featured a lot in the news, so almost of us are aware that it has been released. There is invariably a great deal of hype when it comes to Apple products. Is this because of Apple's product line being great or merely racket from their loyal fan base? I would propose it could be either, speaking as an unbiased onlooker in this. Twelve months separate the release dates of the iPad and now the iPad 2. The question that goes into virtually all people's minds is 'is it worth upgrading to the new iPad?', and that is the question I will attempt to answer in this mini-review.

The iPad 2 is a lot smaller than the first iPad model. The screen size 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 great thing. At 600 grams, the iPad 2 is lighter than the original iPad. Not heavy in the least. These alterations are tangible as I observed by holding the iPad and iPad 2. Don't think a slimmer and lighter design means the operation is affected, because boy oh boy would you be incorrect...

On of the best feature is how the new ipad handles movies which is better than iphone movies. The new iPad is as a matter of fact a lot quicker than the original model. For the new iPad, the performance of the graphics is said to be nine times as quick according to Apple. That is a huge improvement, if what they claim is accurate. Gaming requisites and the introduction of cameras is the reason this had to come about. In addition, the switch from an A4 to an A5 chip implies that Apple has a quick processor inside. The A5 chip possesses a dual core processor and it indeed makes a difference to the speed of the latest iPad. No matter what I was using, I could tell that it was zippier. If I use several media on the original iPad and then the latest iPad, the better load speed time is marked.

The iPad 2 now comes with two cameras. The first camera is on the front side and the second camera is on the rear side. If you like the idea of having a camera, then you will welcome this modification of stance since when the iPad was originally released, there were no cameras. One camera takes 720p HD and the other camera isn't as good. The iPad 2 decided to add FaceTime and Photobooth, providing you the ability to video call and shoot all sorts of pics. The back camera, when using FaceTime on the iPad, exposes where you are as opposed to the front camera that allows you to see each other.

Upgrading from the iPad to the iPad 2 is, I would say, for those who feel the need for the faster processors and have the available cash. Although the upgrades are an improvement, it's nothing significant, apart from possibly the camera which is a brand new inclusion.
