The design of the iPad 2 has evolved slightly. It’s thinner, lighter and seemingly more contoured, which makes the tablet easier to hold. It also now comes equipped with a rear speaker and camera, although neither are anything to rave madly about.
The iPad 2 comes with a dual core 1Ghz “A5” chip, which allows for faster loading of websites, as well as switching between Apps and games. The battery life is pretty impressive, with up to 10 hours of continuous video playback. Display is the same brilliant 9.7 Inch LED backlit 1024x768 resolution as the first iPad, offering an incredible viewing experience from any angle.
The one cool inclusion that I would stand on a soapbox for is the Smart Cover that comes standard with the new iPad2. The cover magnetically attaches to the iPad and locks and wakes up the tablet similar to the lid of a laptop. What’s pretty neat too is that you can fold the Smart Cover into a prism, which acts as a stand for your device.
While this is all great, it’s not a good enough reason for updating your existing iPad. Our advice would be to hold tight for number 3, which promises new functionality and upgrades.
