Should You Make the Switch To The iPad 2?
The iPad 2 has mentioned a lot in the news, so most of us are aware that it now available. Apple product launches invariably make a lot of buzz. Is this as a result of Apple’s product line being fantastic or just noise from their hardcore fan base? From an impartial viewpoint, I suppose it is a combination of these. The iPad 2 was announced and released just recently, and it comes just a year after the first iPad was made public. So, if you bought the original model, I will now give my opinion on if you should consider shifting to the iPad 2.
When it comes to physical size, the iPad 2 is a lot smaller in size compared to the first iPad. The iPad 2 is skinnier by roughly a third of the original although the screen dimensions remain unchanged. The iPad 2 is also much lighter, weighing just a bit over 600g. That’s light. If you take in your hands the iPad and the new iPad 2, the modification in design can be felt. Don’t think a slimmer and lighter design means the function is affected, because boy oh boy would you be wrong…
It can handle movies in the same way as movies for iphone. The new iPad is in fact a good deal faster than the original model. The graphics processor is touted by Apple to be 9 times faster than the initial iPad. This is a remarkable advancement if we believe that as read. The thinking behind this is deu to new cameras and what is needed for games. The processor is also much quicker, as Apple have gone on from the old A4 chip to an A5 chip. The A5 chip features a dual core processor and it does make a difference to the speed of the latest iPad. The speed was a thing I was alert of when using various functions. If I use the different media on the original and then the newer iPad, the better load speed time is evident.
The availability of the iPad 2 has as well caused the inclusion of two cameras. The two cameras are located at the front and at the rear of the device. The first iPad had no cameras at all, so this is a big feature if you’re bothered about having a camera on your device. One camera shoots 720p HD and the other camera isn’t as good. FaceTime and PhotoBooth are just two new additions to the iPad which allow you to make video calls and take great pictures, respectively. With FaceTime, the front camera lets 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.
If you can afford it and want the new speedier processing times then upgrading from the first iPad to iPad 2 probably makes sense. The additional features are not that earth-shattering, although you do now have cameras and overall the enhancements are great.
Had enough with failing to movies for iphone even though you have tried so hard? Really, how long do you foresee this to continue? If you are weary of having movies for iphone as a constant companion… well then.
