Wednesday 2nd March 2011 -Steve Jobs, Now still Alive (that roumor about him having six weeks to live was a lie), presented the iPad 2. Personally I think Apple are getting a little silly naming their devices 2, 4, whatever, I mean wasn't 3GS quite a nice name for the iPhone?
OK now I do not want to bore you with the specs but they are as follows:
1GHz Dual core A5 ARM CPU Processor
Still comes in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB Models
9.7"Screen
8.8mm thick! that's thinner than the 9.3mm iPhone 4!
9x Faster Graphics
HDMI Cable
Video Output supports 1080p!
HD Video Recording with the front facing facetime camera and rear.
Fully equiped and Shipped with iOS 4.3!
10hr Battery life - but up to a month on Stand by!
White and black optional colours
Thinner with a straight but tapered back
OK now I love the way the iPad 2 is amaaaazingly thin, but then like on my ipod touch 4th Generation, The buttons I think are closer to the edge of the back of the device, rather than on the side like in the original. As you can see you can not see the buttons from the front of the Tablet, although you can see them clearly from the back. Apple Has Surprised me though - why the Rocker Volume Buttons? I remember back in may 2010 when my Dad bought his iPad the iPhone 4 was released about a month later. The iPhone 4 started all of this separate volume buttons, because from then on, the iPod Touvh 4th Gen, The iPod nano 6th Generations, all has separate buttons. I though that the origonal iPad would be the last to have rocker Volume buttons.
AND PRAISE THE LORD! iOS 4.3 brings the option to change the silent/mute button back to a screen orientation Lock! YAY!!!!!!! Thank you Apple for Realising no - one liked the button being a mute button. The button may as well have not even existed because orientaition lock was then activated by double tapping the home button. Still there but a little more fiddly.
I would say how the resolution has not changed at all. BAD POINT
ReplyDeleteWell Its still a decent Tablet, and ok The pixel density is not as good as retina but still, its alright. I still would love to have a honeycomb tablet though, Or an iPad 2
