The Apple iPad2 -What It Offers.

By Isaac Oliver


Although Apple made a big splash when it introduced the iPad not long ago, it now offers some upgrades and additional features in its iPad2. There are some competing brand of tablet computers on the market, but so far Apple has managed to capture most of the attention in this field with the iPad. Let's look and see if there really are any real differences between the original iPad and the iPad2.

The Wi-Fi and 3G capability of the Apple iPad 2 makes it easier to stay connected to the world. As long as you are near a Wi-Fi network, the iPad will automatically seek out the strongest connection so you shouldn't have any trouble connecting to the Internet. Another way to connect is with the iPad 3G connectivity option which works with the Verizon Wireless or the AT&T network. This can be useful if you're in an area that doesn't have Wi-Fi. If your iPad has this option, it will be able to receive a signal wherever your cell phone works because 3G is the kind of signal your cell phone uses. If you would mainly use your iPad in places where Wi-Fi is readily available, this is a feature you might not need.

What really sets the iPad apart from the other devices that are out there is its Multi Touch technology. This was introduced with the original iPad and after you get used to it you'll find it easy to do all sorts of things using just your fingers.

While it might seem like the Apple iPad 2 offers everything when you read its lists of features, that isn't exactly the case. The lack of Flash support in the Apple iPad 2 has many users disappointed. There are websites that are based on Flash, so while this may not seem like a major issue, it does create limitations in viewing those sites.

A major complaint about the original iPad was that it didn't have a camera. The iPad 2 has remedied this by giving you two cameras, one on the front and one on the back. Some users may still be unsatisfied because unfortunately, they are not high quality cameras. The cameras are useful for taking basic shots or for talking to your friends with FaceTime, but don't expect to be able to take high quality photos or videos. Most mobile phones have cameras and the serious photographer will probably already own cameras anyway, so this might not be that serious of a problem.

Even though it isn't perfect, there are lots of reasons to buy an Apple iPad 2. As long as you don't miss flash capability, or expect too much from the two cameras, you can have a great time browsing the web, watching videos and maybe using FaceTime to have video chats with your friends. You should not think of the Apple iPad 2 as a replacement for your primary electronic device but it is still great and interesting and you can enjoy a lot of different things about it.
