Should You Switch To The iPad 2?

By Sue Ariosa


There's no question that majority of people will have seen or heard of the iPad 2 in some way. There is constantly a good deal of hoopla when it comes to Apple products. Perhaps it's because of all the fan boys, or is it simply because Apple develops quality products? From an unbiased stand, I believe it is a combination of these. Following on one year from when the first iPad was released, the iPad 2 can now be purchased. Thus, if you got the first model, I will now share my opinion on if you should consider changing to the iPad 2.

The first thing to notice with the iPad 2 is the reduction in physical size. It is good to see that the iPad 2 is slimmer, to the tune of one third compared to the original iPad, and that the size of the screen is the same. The weight of the iPad 2 has also seen a diminution with it now hitting the scales at a mere 600 grams. Not heavy the least bit. If you hold the iPad and the new iPad 2, the alteration in design can be felt. Don't think a slimmer and less heavy design means the operation is affected, because boy oh boy would you be incorrect...

Don't forget that you can also enjoy ipad movies downloads. The new iPad is as a matter of fact a good deal faster than the original model. For one, Apple touts that its graphics processor is nine times speedier than the initial iPad. This is a remarkable progress if we take that as read. Gaming requirements and the introduction of cameras is the reason this had to come about. An A5 chip would mean that Apple likewise now has a processor that is a great deal faster. The reason that it is rapid is because the iPad 2 features a dual core A5 processing chip. I surely noticed it was faster, even with a lot of apps working in the background. Loading time is quicker and I could see this when using the web and video functions on both the original iPad and iPad 2.

The iPad 2 now features two cameras. The two cameras are situated at the front and at the back. If you care for the idea of having a camera, then you will embrace this change of stance as when the iPad was initially released, there were no cameras. There is a difference in that one of the cameras can record in 720p HD. The iPad 2 included FaceTime and Photobooth, offering you the ability to video call and take all sorts of photographs. The front camera positions you face-to-face when video calling through FaceTime whereas the iPad's back camera gives a view of your surroundings.

If you have money and want the new quicker processing times then making the switch from the first iPad to iPad 2 probably makes sense. The additional features are not out of this world, although you do now have cameras and overall the enhancements are good.
