Is The iPad 2 Worth Upgrading To?

The iPad 2 has mentioned a lot in the news, so most of us know that it is out. There is constantly a lot of ballyhoo when it comes to Apple products. Maybe it's due to all the fan boys, or is it merely because Apple develops quality products? Coming from somebody who is impartial, I'd say it's somewhat a bit of the two. Following on one year from when the first iPad was introduced, the iPad 2 can now be purchased. The one question that enters most people's minds is 'is it worth buying the new iPad?', and that is the question I will try to resolve in this mini-review.

The first thing to note with the iPad 2 is the reduction in size. The iPad 2 is skinnier by about 33% of the original although the screen dimensions stay unaltered. The weight of the iPad 2 has also seen a diminution with it now weighing in on the scales at just 600 grams. Not heavy the least bit. If you hold the iPad and the new iPad 2, the modification in design can be felt. It would be a faulty supposition to think that this slimmer, lighter version does not run as well.

The new iPad is as a matter of fact a good deal faster than the original model. For the new iPad, the performance of the graphics is announced to be nine times as rapid according to Apple. This is a remarkable advancement if we believe that as read. The rationale behind this is because of new cameras and what is needed for games. The processor is also much speedier, as Apple have advanced from the old A4 chip to an A5 chip. The latest iPad's A5 dual core processor is what makes it quicker than the last model. Irrespective of what I was using, I could see that it was faster. Loading time is speedier and I observe this when using the web and video functions on both the original iPad and iPad 2.

The launch of the iPad 2 has also caused the inclusion of two cameras. The cameras are located at the front side and at the back. The first iPad had no cameras the least bit, so this is a big 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. The iPad 2 decided to add FaceTime and Photobooth, providing you the ability to video call and take all sorts of photos. The front camera puts you face-to-face when video calling using FaceTime whereas the iPad's back camera gives a view of your surroundings.

In sum, I would personally urge upgrading 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. Even though the upgrades are an improvement, it's nothing serious, apart from maybe the camera which is a brand new inclusion.
