Is The iPad 2 Worth Purchasing?

By David Boston


The iPad 2 has mentioned a lot in the news, so most of us are aware that it now available. Apple product launches invariably create a great deal of buzz. Is this because of Apple's product line being great or merely buzz from their hardcore fan base? I would say it could be either, talking as an impartial person in this. Following on one year from when the original iPad was released, the iPad 2 can now be purchased. So, if you bought the original model, I will now share my opinion on if you should consider switching to the iPad 2.

The iPad 2 is smaller compared to the first iPad model. The screen size has stayed the same at a nice 9.7 inches; nevertheless, the thickness of the second iPad has been reduced by one third of the original size, which of course is a nice thing. At just 600 grams, the iPad 2 is much lighter. Light by any standards. These modifications are touchable as I found by holding the iPad and iPad 2. Any thought you may have that it will not function as well, because of the size alterations, could not be more incorrect.

On of the best feature is how the new ipad handles movies which is better than iphone movies. The new iPad is in fact a lot quicker than the first one. For the new iPad, the performance of the graphics is touted to be nine times as rapid according to Apple. That is a big improvement, if what they say is accurate. Gaming requisites and the introduction of cameras is why this had to come about. Plus, the change from an A4 to an A5 chip means that Apple has a better processor inside. The A5 chip has a dual core processor and it indeed makes a difference to the speed of the latest iPad. I definitely found it was a lot faster, even with several apps working in the background. If I use the different media on the first model and then the latest iPad, the improved load speed time is noticeable.

The release of the iPad 2 has also caused the inclusion of two cameras. You will find two cameras fixed at both the rear and the front of the device. If you like the idea of having a camera, then you will like this change of stance considering when the iPad was originally released, there were no cameras. One camera takes 720p HD and the other isn't as wonderful. The iPad 2 has now added FaceTime and Photobooth, giving you the ability to video call and take all sorts of photographs. The back camera, when making use of FaceTime on the iPad, exposes where you are as opposed to the front camera that allows you to see each other.

Moving up from the iPad to the iPad 2 is, I would say, for folks who feel the need for the speedier processors and have money. If we discount the cameras, then the alterations are not earth-shattering but do make it a better model.
