With Apple iPad 2 going to be in your hand from 11th MARCH (only in US though!!) Apple Fan-boys have gone nuts again! But this time craze with i-Pad2 will miss the pre-order facility, since apple will make it direct sale on the Big-Day!
But the question remains What is there new in iPad 2 that will make you go nuts???
"When Apple’s original iPad was released around this time last year, the device not only created the biggest buzz in the tech world. It also defined a new category of gadget. But as enthusiastic as reviewers and early adopters of the device were, consistent criticisms surfaced as well. The iPad’s lack of USB or Ethernet ports and glossy screen were consistently cited as shortcomings, for example."- The Hindu
Similarity Between i-Pad Original and iPad 2:
1)Basically speaking i-Pad 2 Base model comes with the same pricing as original iPad.....Yeah just $499 and thats it. So no cons about that.
2)Apple has not made any efforts on its screen and new iPad 2 has same 9.7inch LED-Backlit IPS LCD screen with the same 1024x 768 resolution.
3)Storage remains unchanged with 3 variants 16GB, 32GB & 64GB. Again no memory extension possible like SD-Slot.
4)Other features like 1Ghz Processor, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, Accelerometer are intact as well.
NOTABLE Differnces in new iPad 2:
1)All new and better dual-core A5 processor at the heart of the device, which Apple claims is twice as fast as the previous iPad.
2)Improved Graphics Performance with apple claiming 9x smoother graphics....more powerful graphics designed to do justice to fast-moving games.......
3)Most interesting and most awaited, Integrated Dual-Cameras -- one on the front and one on the back. You can now use your iPad 2 camera to capture your image for the purposes of video chats or Skype video sessions.
4)The 2nd Gen iPad Comes with iOS 4.3 (the latest version), promising faster mobile browsing and better user experience etc.
5)Apple claims improved battery life with an extra 1 hour backup than the previous iPad.
6)One thing that owners of the previous generation procured for their device -- a cover for the screen -- and included one with the unit. No more handling worries....
7)It has a built-in 3-axis Gyroscope that enables advanced gaming. What the heck for? We already have better-designed mobile gaming consoles for crying out loud!
8)Supports HDMI Video Mirroring, allowing users to stream media on HDTV.But, it requires the use of an optional adapter and you have to pay for that.
Hope this is sufficient for most people out there but Apple must bring much more innovative features to keep its fans going nuts.......with it's next iPad plans......
Till then, to enjoy your iPad 2 get in the queue before the 11th March.......
