Should You Make the Change To The iPad 2?

By Paul Bompard


For many of us, it is impossible to escape the fact that the iPad 2 is now available. There is constantly a great deal of hype when it comes to Apple products. Is this because of Apple's product line being terrific or merely noise from their loyal fan base? Coming from somebody who is indifferent, I'd say it's somewhat a bit of the two. Twelve months separate the launch dates of the iPad and now the iPad 2. So, if you got the original model, I will now offer my opinion on if you should consider shifting to the iPad 2.

The first thing to notice with the iPad 2 is the reduction in size. It is good to discover that the iPad 2 is slimmer, to the tune of 33% in comparison to the first iPad, and that the size of the screen is as it was. At 600 grams, the iPad 2 is lighter than the original iPad. That's light. I've had both an iPad and an iPad 2 and I must say there is an evident deviation in its feel. It would be a faulty supposition to think that this thinner, lighter version does not operate as well.

It can handle movies in the same way as movies for iphone. The new iPad is as a matter of fact a good deal speedier than the original model. First up, Apple boasts that its graphics processor is nine times speedier than the initial iPad. That is a significant improvement, if what they claim is correct. Gaming requisites and the introduction of cameras is why this had to happen. Also, the change from an A4 to an A5 chip would mean that Apple has a better processor inside. The reason it is quick is because the iPad 2 features a dual core A5 processing chip. I surely observed it was faster, even with lots of apps running in the background. I've likewise taken a look at both the iPad and iPad 2 side by side and I can certainly say you observe things, such as web pages and video, loading much faster.

Now, onto the recent addition of the cameras; not only one, but two cameras are on the iPad 2. You will find the cameras set at both the back and the front side. If you care for the idea of having a camera, then you will welcome this modification of stance considering when the iPad was initially released, there were no cameras. There is a difference in that one of the cameras can snap in 720p HD. FaceTime and PhotoBooth are just two new additions to the iPad which give you the ability to make video calls and snap great pictures, respectively. The front camera places you face-to-face when video calling when using FaceTime whereas the iPad's back camera shows your surroundings.

All in all, I would personally urge switching 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. The additional features are not out of this world, although you do now have cameras and all in all the enhancements are excellent.
