To find out whether the Ipad 2 is just another hyped up apple product
or a product you would considering buying, we must first take a look at
what's new with the Ipad 2 compared to the first Ipad:
-The first
thing you notice when you pick up an IPad 2 is that it is significantly
thinner and that it now has 2 cameras, one on the front for face time
and one on the back for pictures and video. The problem with these two
cameras is that they are very low quality and camera on the back is
nowhere near as good compared to the iphone 4's camera.
-One of
the bigger improvements of the Ipad 2 is that the graphics are better
and faster. The Ipad 2 is running with Imagination's PowerVR SGX43MP
which is a multicore chip that allows the Ipad 2's graphics to perform
nine times better than the first Ipad.
-The Ipad 2 is also a lot faster because of it's new 1ghz A5 dual core processor
compared to the A4 single core processor used by the Ipad. Along with
this would also be the Ipad 2's increased battery life which can last
for a little over 10 hours.
-The Ipad 2 comes with a new
case/cover created by Apple, it allows you to protect your screen, and
it is also magnetic so it can be folded up into a stand when you're
watching a movie.
Overall the Ipad 2 has it's improvements but if you already have the first Ipad i see very little point in
purchasing the Ipad 2, unless you are one of thos people that has to
keep up with every little thing apple releases, in which case go for it.
Now if you do not have the first Ipad I think the Ipad 2 definitely
deserves some consideration since it has the same price as the Ipad when
it first came out and has its improvements.
