  • Is The iPad 2 Worth Getting?

    The iPad 2 has been featured a lot in the news, so almost of us know that it has been released. There is always a great deal of hoopla when it comes to Apple products. Possibly it's because of all the fan boys, or is it merely because Apple develops quality products? From an unbiased standpoint, I believe it is a combination of these. Twelve months separate the launch dates of the iPad and now the iPad 2. The query that comes into virtually all people's minds is 'is it worth getting the new iPad?', and that is the question I will endeavor to answer in this mini-review.

    The first thing to observe with the iPad 2 is the diminution in size. It is good to discover that the iPad 2 is thinner, to the tune of 33% against the original iPad, and that the size of the screen is as it was. The iPad 2 is also weighs less, weighing in at just a little more than 600g. That's much lighter. If you take in your hands the iPad and the new iPad 2, the change in design can be experienced. Any thought you may have that it will not work as well, as a result the size alterations, could not be more incorrect.

    The iPad 2 is a lot faster than the first one. For the newest iPad, the performance of the graphics is said to be nine times as quick according to Apple. This is a considerable improvement if we take that as read. Gaming demands and the introduction of cameras is why this had to take place. The processor is likewise much speedier, as Apple have advanced from the old A4 chip to an A5 chip. The reason it is rapid is because the iPad 2 possesses a dual core A5 processing chip. Regardless of what I was using, I could distinguish that it was zippier. I've as well looked at both the original iPad and new iPad side by side and I can surely say you notice things, such as web pages and video, loading quicker.

    The iPad 2 now features two cameras. You will find the cameras situated at both the rear and the front side. This is a major move as the original iPad didn't come with camera at all and this may be important to you. One camera shoots 720p HD and the second camera isn't as good. The iPad 2 decided to add FaceTime and Photobooth, offering you the ability to video call and shoot all kinds of photographs. The back camera, when using FaceTime on the iPad, shows where you are as opposed to the front camera that lets you see each other.

    In sum, I would personally recommend switching from the original iPad to the iPad 2 if you can afford it, however if you're not interested in slightly faster loading times then don't bother. Even though the upgrades are an improvement, it's nothing serious, apart from maybe the camera which is a brand new addition.
