The next generation iPad is slimmer and sexier, trimming down to 0.34 inches which is only a third of the original iPad and wirier than the iPhone 4. What a significant hardware advancement!. With an additional camera on the rear, it is now cushier to call your friends. Apple’s new device boasts a fast processor, 3G capabilities and plan availability not only from AT&T but from Verizon as well which makes it a good choice

But nothing is without a negative counterpart. Apple still has a long way to go There’s nothing much to its resolution and Adobe Flash is yet to be available. HDMI, USB and SD still demands for an adapter which can be quite difficult at certain instances.
Though it has downbeat qualities, iPad remains unbeatable by figures. Being the pioneer of the niche made it the niche itself Among the tablets on the internet today, Apple’s App store still rocks the application arena Even if competitors form strategic alliances to bring the iPad down, the feat won’t be that easy. Thinking of tens of millions of iPads sold even during an economic downturn is something you can’t just look past.
Quite an amount of first gen iPad features were retained on the Apple iPad 2, particularly size, price and feel. It has the same sturdy aluminum body and scratch resistant glass, as well as home button and frontal camera. Home button, frontal camera, sleep/wake buttons, headphone jack, volume rockers and mute/rotation lock switch is locked in the same position Another good thing about the iPad 2 is that it comes in 2 colors– black and white– be it 16 GB ($499), 32 GB ($599) or 64 GB ($699). You have to choose your carrier (AT&T vs. Verizon) carefully since the other network’s iPad doesn’t work with the other. If you want a 3G feature on your device, you will have to add $130 on your monthly bills.
Another thing I like about the second gen iPad is that it didn’t make a huge fuss of compatibility, meaning, you can still use first gen accessories on the iPad 2, except for the docks because they look a bit loose and awkward. There’s a whole new dock for the new iPad The rubber cases are also replaced by leather and polyurethane cases and is called Smart Cover The locks are strong rare-earth magnets on the two aluminum hinges. As much as protection is concerned, the rubber one gets the upper hand. The latter two cases are more on the looks.
The very feature of the iPad is the addition of a frontal camera that can take photos as well as record videos running on 720 p. Despite it boasting two impressive cameras, its specialization still lies in still captures and its quality is pretty much like that of the iPod touch and cannot stand in par with the iPhone 4, a camera or a smartphone. Whether it’s going to retain the success of the first gen iPad is not something that I am certain of, but it seems like we’ll just have to wait and see.
