Apple iPad VS iPad 2

[Mastermind]

The new version of the Apple tablet has arrived. Its name is iPad 2 and has been introduced by Steve Jobs, chief executive of the Cupertino Company. The new model has undergone some cosmetic changes and introduced some new components in the original version of the iPad last year were not present. But there are so many differences with the first model? Is it worth buying the iPad 2? Let us explain point by point what changes have been made to the original model for this new iPad 2.

Design

The new Apple tablet has shrunk the original model. iPad 2 has measures 241.2 x 185.7 x 8.8 mm, while the model was sold until now measuring 242.8 x 189.7 x 13.4 mm. That is, the new one is slightly smaller and especially thinner (by 33 percent to be exact).

On the other hand, the weight has also changed. In both cases there are two models to choose from, it takes only a WiFi connection and another that combines WiFi and 3G networks. In the case of the original model (IPAD) its weight in WiFi version came to 680 grams and +3 G WiFi version was 730 grams. In contrast, the new model (iPad 2) the weight of the WiFi version is 601 grams and the combo version (WiFi +3 G) is 613 grams. Therefore, the user would be faced with a touch tablet thinner and 13 percent lighter. Finally, while the original version was only available in one color (silver), the new iPad 2 will be available in two colors: white or black.

Processor and RAM

One of the main protagonists in the two presentations - the original iPad was early in the year 2010 - has been the processor that Apple has used on their computers. For the first iPad, Cupertino added a homegrown processor Apple called A4, which had a clock frequency of GHz, and later introduced in the current model of iPhone (iPhone 4). Now, the iPad 2 launches new dual-core processor to match its competitors and is now called Apple A5. The frequency of each core clock is 1 GHz, thus having twice the power.

Moreover, in the original model had 512 MB of RAM, leaving only 256 MB available to user. There was too less memory and if you have too many applications open at once while making use of multitasking performance, suggested that was not enough. Moreover, iPad should close any other application automatically for smooth operation. In the new model is believed to be double the memory available RAM, but Apple has not confirmed anything yet.

Display:

The changes were expected in the multi-touch screen of the iPad 2 that dominates the classic iPad. iPad 2 continues with the same size of 9.7 inches with a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768. You can still use an IPS panel, the same as the original model or the iPhone 4. Therefore, Apple has not included the famous Retinal Display this time. Might be implement in next version of the device. On the other hand, both models fitted accelerometer but only the new model will have a 3-axis gyro (like the iPhone 4) which will help you for precision in movement while you are playing game on it.

Camera

As a new, iPad 2 do have a camera, one in front of the chassis and the other in the rear. The first with VGA resolution, thanks to the FaceTime software may be used for video calls over the Internet using WiFi networks and being able to contact other users who have iPad 2, iPhone 4, a next-generation iPod touch or a Mac computer. Meanwhile, the rear camera is capable of recording videos in high definition (HD) and will allow up to five digital zoom magnifications.

Multimedia:

Apple does not want to include more ports to your touch tablet. However, in this new model (iPad 2)there is port that will allow you to project HD images up to 1920 x 1080 pixels (FullHD) thanks to an adapter that the company will market, which will HDMI output. Also the graphics performance of the new model is up to nine times the original model.

Operating System:

While the current model uses version 4.2.1 of the Apple system icons, iPad 2 will come with the new software update called iOS 4.3. Will have several improvements and will be released to the public next March 11. You can perform the tethering also i.e. convert the iPad or iPhone 4 in an entire portable WiFi router. On the other hand, the Safari browser will also come with the new motor vitaminized called Nitro Java Javascript double the speed of navigation of the current web browser version. On the other hand, It will also play shared content throughout the home, thanks to WiFi networks. Therefore, from any place you can play videos, photos and music without having to download anything.

Autonomy:

While processor speed has doubled and iPad 2 will have more graphics power, the battery life will remain intact. That is, if the first model iPad succeeded in reaching up to 10 hours of continuous work before having to reconnect to the main supply, the iPad 2 will continue with the same figure.

Conclusion:

Apple will release the new version of its touch screen tablet, iPad 2 on 11th March and kept the price of the current model as $499. It will continue to market with different storage capacities (16, 32 and 64 gigabytes).
On the other hand, this is having very small cosmetic changes i.e. slightly less weight and more compact design. This achieves a much more easy to carry on day to day life. However, Cupertino tablet is living the same story with your mobile. Now it is up to the user, if the team needed a renewal or otherwise, is more than enough the first version of the iPad. Do I need a change of equipment if you already have the first version of the tablet?

i would like to add some differences between...
iPad 2 is 4.4 millimeters thinner and 10 grams lighter than the first iPad. The new iPad's design identity is similar to that of iPod Touch 4G with tapered edges and flat rear.
The first generation iPad runs on Apple A4 chip. The second gen comes with an Apple A5 processor, which is at least twice as fast as A4 with nine times the graphics processing power.

thanks.......

Well, I would Possibly buy the Apple product only. That, of course, assumes they wouldn't dupe me on price and lock it down for the 8 uses they deem worthy. But that would never happen. Apple will spend around $340 for each iSlate model, if that’s the final name of the product. These are mere rumours, but we notice that the 1.8 inch 160GB HDD is the most expensive on the list, going for $75.
