Is The iPad 2 Worth Upgrading To?

By Kevin Brennan


For the majority of us, it is inconceivable to escape the fact that the iPad 2 is now available. There is always plenty of media coverage of anything Apple do. Apple fans could be the cause of this or is it truly that their product releases are so good? Coming from someone who is indifferent, I'd say it's a little of the two. The iPad 2 was launched and released only recently, and it comes just a year after the first iPad was released. The question that comes into almost all people's minds is 'is it worth buying the new iPad?', and that is the question I will attempt to resolve in this mini-review.

One of the best features is movies for ipad. The first thing to note with the iPad 2 is the diminution in physical size. The iPad 2's screen size has remained the same at a pleasant 9.7 inches; however, the thickness of the second iPad has been reduced by one third of the original size, which of course is a good thing. The iPad 2 is also weighs less, tipping the scale at just a little more than 600g. Not heavy the least bit. If you hold the iPad and the new iPad 2, the modification in design can be felt. Any thought you may have that it will not work as well, as a result the size alterations, could not be further from the truth.

The new iPad is as a matter of fact a lot speedier than the first one. The graphics processor is touted by Apple to be 9 times faster than the original iPad. If that is true, it is a significant jump forward. The rationale behind this is as a result of new cameras and what is necessary for games. An A5 chip implies that Apple likewise now has a processor that is a great deal quicker. The new iPad's A5 dual core processor is what makes it quicker than the previous model. The speed was something I was aware of when making use of several functions. Loading time is faster and I could see this when using the web and video functions on both the original iPad and iPad 2.

Now, about the new addition of the cameras; not only one, but two cameras are on the iPad 2. You will find the cameras situated at both the back of the device and the front. The original iPad had no cameras in the least, so this is a major feature if you're bothered about having a camera on your device. There is a difference in that one of the cameras can shoot in 720p HD. Video calling and fun photographs are now achievable with the new iPad with the inclusion of FaceTime and Photobooth. With FaceTime, the front camera permits your calling partner to see your face and the back camera lets him see what you can see, on the back side of the iPad.

Moving up from the iPad to the iPad 2 is, I would state, for those who feel the need for the faster processors and have the available cash. If we ignore the cameras, then the modifications are not significant but do make it a better model.
