Review of iPad 2

iPad 2 makes everything that was good in iPad, great. It starts with the thinness: iPad 2 is a lot thinner than the first iPad. Granted, there was some empty space in the original iPad shell, but still, iPad 2 is unbelievably thin
when compared to its competition: the most recent Android and WebOS tablets.

Apple has done a very good job at optimizing the internal space to create this extremely thin device. The addition of the cameras and the new speaker design are among the visible signs of change. Other than that, iPad 2 feels very
much like the first iPad.

Thanks to its new A5 chip, the iPad 2 is faster. This is particularly noticeable when manipulating the web browser.  I expect the iPad 2 to be faster for both single-threaded application and multi-threaded ones. It’s a dual-core
processor, but each of the cores should be more efficient than the previous circuitry used in the original iPad. That’s perceptible performance.

That was probably the #1 request from users. The cameras (front and back) are there, but I’m disappointed by them because the image quality is poor. Even in a well-lit room, images shot with the back camera are noisy. The front
camera is even worse.

Apple has built the iPad 2 by making everything that was good about the first iPad, better. If it wasn’t for the poor optics quality, I would say that this is a perfect product upgrade. Anyhow, in the current tablet context, it’s
fair to say that iPad 2 is an “excellent” product. As long as you understand what it can and cannot do, you should be happy to own one.
