Should You Change To The iPad 2?

By Peter Chachi


There's no doubt that almost all people will have seen or heard of the iPad 2 in some way. Apple launches invariably create a good deal of buzz. Apple buffs could be the cause of this or is it actually that their product releases are so good? From an unbiased viewpoint, I suppose it is a combination of these. The iPad 2 was launched and released only recently, and it comes merely a year after the first iPad was released. Thus, if you purchased the original model, I will now offer my opinion on if you should consider changing to the iPad 2.

One of the best features is movies for ipad. The iPad 2 is a lot smaller than the first iPad model. It is fine to note that the iPad 2 is slimmer, to the tune of a third in comparison to the original iPad, and that the size of the screen remains the same. At only 600 grams, the iPad 2 is lighter than the original iPad. Not heavy in the least. If you take in your hands the iPad and the new iPad 2, the modification in design can be experienced. It would be an incorrect presumption to think that this skinnier, lighter version does not function as well.

The iPad 2 works faster than the first iPad. For the latest iPad, the performance of the graphics is announced to be nine times as rapid according to Apple. This is a significant advancement if we take that as read. The reasoning behind this is because of new cameras and what is required for games. The processor is likewise much quicker, as Apple have upgraded from the old A4 chip to an A5 chip. The reason for it being rapid is because the iPad 2 possesses a dual core A5 processing chip. No matter what I was using, I could see that it was faster. I've as well checked out both the iPad and iPad 2 side by side and I can certainly say you observe things, such as web pages and video, loading quicker.

The launch of the iPad 2 has as well caused the addition of two cameras. The first camera is on the front side and the other is on the rear. This is a major move as the first iPad did not have camera the least bit and this may be important to you. There is a difference in that one of the cameras can shoot in 720p HD. FaceTime and PhotoBooth are a couple of new additions to the iPad which give you the ability to make video calls and shoot interesting pictures, respectively. The back camera, when making use of FaceTime on the iPad, shows where you are as opposed to the front camera that allows you to see each other.

Overall, I would personally urge changing over from the original iPad to the iPad 2 if you have the money, however if you're not interested in slightly faster loading times then don't bother. If we dismiss the cameras, then the changes are not earth-shattering but do make it a better model.
