iPad 2 vs iPad – Final Showdown

April 9th, 2011 No Comments   Posted in News, Reviews

Almost an year ago, Apple launched its touch screen tablet which was only 9.7 inches in length, with great apps. So it was just like a bigger iPhone. And now just within the year, Apple has launched a subsequent model which was to be launched on 11th March, 2011. This new generation model is called the iPad 2.

In this review we are going to take a look why you should upgrade to iPad 2 if you already have the original one; or if you are planning to buy for the first time, you should definitely go for the latest gadget.

The new Apple iPad 2 is certainly sleeker in design. It has rounded corners; therefore it feels smoother to hold. You’ll feel that you can curl up your fingers more easily around this one. Apple has produced an even thinner and slightly smaller version than the original one; iPad 2 is even thinner than the iPhone. So you definitely got a sleeker gadget in your hands. The original iPad is around 13.4 mm thick whereas the new one is around 8.8 mm thick. It weighs around 680 grams and so it is 80 grams lighter than the original iPad; so undeniably you have an even lighter gadget this time.

With all of the design variations that Apple has put into this version, it almost feels as if it is made of plastic and might need a protective coating. But this is not the case because the back is actually metal. However the metal sheet at the back thinner than the original which is why the whole tablet feels 15% lighter than the first version.
iPad 2 also comes with a front facing VGA camera as well as a back facing camera which is obviously missing in the original one; both of these cameras can take pictures and make movies. Now you can edit movies and share pictures with your friends.

Now lets talk about the price and the specs of these two. Amazingly both iPad and iPad2 are available for the same price. The specs - iPad 2 definitely is upgraded as compared to its older the version. The original iPad has a 1GHz single-core A4 processor whereas iPad2 runs with 1GHz dual-core A5 processor; this makes the iPad 2 definitely faster than the older version and it has got faster graphics which is going to improve the gaming even more.

iPad 2 – review of the top gadget of 2011

March 26th, 2011 No Comments   Posted in News, Reviews

iPad 2 has taken the market by storm feeding the hungry consumers who were waiting for the improved version of the original iPad tablet. With its super sleek space-age design and light weight with a thin body, it definitely has become the hottest gadget of 2011.The two cameras fitted both on the front and back side of the tablet computer really makes it a stand-apart gadget. Don’t go on their size because they can make big things happen. With FaceTime video calling, you can enjoy a real time face-to-face video chat with your friends and favorite people. The back camera will let you share your surrounding with them as well.

You can also use the back camera for movie recording and then use the super-cool iMovie application for editing. You can take pictures too; and add them to the Photo Booth to do some wacky editing of the pictures and then share them with friends and family. Both of these features were missing in the original iPad.

But that is not the only thing which makes it more preferable than its older model. It is an amazing 33% thinner and 15% lighter, making it super light. It is so light, that when you pick it up you won’t even feel such heavy technology in your hands and you might not even want to put it down.

iPad 2 has improved sound speakers and battery life which is extended to 10 hours, so you can either use it for a week of communication while traveling or for watching movies undisturbed. The processor in this thing has also evolved from A4 processor to dual-core A5 processor; so now this gadget has become super fast times 2. You can send e-mails, browse the web, jump from one application to the other and play HD games with a greater ease.

The graphics on iPad 2 are 9 times faster, so with improved graphics performance, the gamers can enjoy a smoother and more realistic experience. Another great feature is that Apple has launched a Smart Cover for this smart tablet in 10 different colors. The Smart Cover is very light weight to perfectly match the machinery. It is clipped on to the iPad 2 with a magnetic hinge. The cover puts the tablet to sleep and when it is lifted the computer wakes up. It can also be folded behind iPad 2 to make its light-weight portable stand.

Solar powered screen protector

March 25th, 2011 No Comments   Posted in News

A small company called Wysips has created the world’s first photovoltaic screen protector. The super-thin (less than 100 microns!) covering would go over the screen of your phone (or tablet, or iPod touch, or ebook reader) and constantly supply the battery with solar power.

You would still be able to use the device’s touch screen unhindered – in fact, the performance of your device would be totally unchanged. The typical smartphone could charge completely in six hours under direct sunlight, or longer under indoor light. But even more exciting is the fact that the covering would constantly top-up your phone’s battery, meaning that you have to charge via a wall plug much less often.

iPad 2 – Better, Sleeker, Smarter!

March 23rd, 2011 No Comments   Posted in News, Tablets

It is generally accepted that the newer version of any machine or device is certainly better than its older or original model. This shouldn’t be any different for Apple’s iPad 2 which was launched in the second week of March. iPad 2, as expected, comes out much better than the original iPad. It has a sleeker design and smarter processor and specs. In this article we are going to review how iPad 2 is better in many aspects.

To start off, the design—right from the beautifully designed little box by Apple which holds this beautiful machine to iPad 2 and its accessories, you will be in awe with its exquisiteness.

iPad 2 comes in two different colors, and the white color appreciates the sleeker design even more. iPad 2 is unimaginably lighter, weighing only 680 grams. You would think it is made from plastic, but it is not. The metal sheet at the back is much lighter and thinner.

iPad 2 is designed in a very modern-looking rounded-corner shape. The difference in looks is visible between iPad and iPad 2. Because of the sleek design, light weight and thinner body, it is much more comfortable to hold this machine in your hands. Therefore it is aesthetically an improved version. It will also be visible to you that Apple has indeed optimized the area inside this machine to produce a thinner version.

iPad 2 is for sure a smarter version too, Apple has provided iPad 2 with a dual-core A5 processor and faster graphics. The battery life is also improved. So it has become an even faster machine which can help the gaming purpose a lot more. iPad 2 also has a USB port which was missing earlier on just like the camera.

The newer version now has a frontal VGA camera and a 1 MP back camera with the power of sight. For movie making freaks it has got an iMovie application which helps in editing movies. It also enables FaceTime chat. It is the most complete tablet yet because of its 60,000 apps. The speakers are notably changed so the sound system has definitely improved.

The price on this thing is still very much the same so you won’t have much difficulty aiming at the newer model. Whereas the iPad 2 has not gone under complete transformation from the original iPad, Apple has definitely made good things better in this tablet.
