iPad 2 - true desktop, laptop, gaming

The 1st iPad was as close to a laptop replacement as one could get, finally bringing the web, photo editing, word processing, and gaming Mac-style not only affordably, but in an easy to use fashion.r>
As a daily user of my 1st generation iPad, I've found the The iPad 2 has several new features that make it even better than before. The only drawback is that many older cases and accessories will no longer work. Docks and Sync cables remain the same.

The new iPad is considerably thinner, more durable, and almost a 1/3 lighter in weight.

The iPad 2 also features a new docking accessory, sold separately that allows video mirroring for your computer or video out to your TV via HDMI and audio out.

This allows you to watch downloaded movies, view facebook and twitter, play games, and see your iPad directly on a big screen!

- A much faster processor and more RAM. This allows better app multitasking and allows the iPad 2 to have three new features that the 1st generation iPad wasn't capable of ...

1) Facetime video using the two built in cameras. One on the rear of the new iPad, one on the face. This will allow true video conferencing over wifi and 3G.

2) The faster processor has also allowed Apple to release a version of iMovie for the iPad. iMovie for the iPad allows editing of videos right on the iPad. (iMovie is an additional $4.99 from the Apple App Store and does not ship with the iPad 2.)

3) The addition of a Garageband audio creation and editing application. Almost identical to the Mac desktop version but now with touch controls. (Garageband is an additional $4.99 from the Apple App Store and does not ship with the iPad 2.)

- The addition of cameras has also allowed Apple to release Photobooth for the iPad. Photobooth is Apple's real time Photo/Video effects enhancing application. Example: One part of the application allows you to look like you are in funhouse mirrors - stretching your face in various funny ways. Another effect allows you to look like you are in a heat scan and another an x-ray view.

The iPad 2 is also now available on both Verizon CDMA and GSM networks. The GSM version is sold by various retailers in the United States but does not come carrier locked - but AT&T does have specific data plans for the iPad.

If you happen to have the iPad unlimited plan in the United States with AT&T - AT&T said that you are grandfathered in and can continue to use your unlimited plan with your new iPad 2.

The iPad 2 will also come in black and white in sizes of 16 gigabytes (GB) 32 GB 64 GB and in wifi & wifi + 3G versions.

My personal recommendation for the iPad is to save a little money and get just the wifi version and then use other options to connect to the internet if you are near a wifi hotspot - options like jailbreaking your iPhone for a wifi hotspot or paying to wirelessly tether your phone.

If you can stomach the higher cost this is the best tablet type PC!

I bought this for my wife who often times is trying to juggle a toddler on top of day to day chores at home. This Ipad offered the mobility she needed with enough power to run any app she wanted. We live overseas in Turkey, so the added unlocked feature made connecting the Ipad to Turkcell simple.

What I like most- Portability, long battery life, simple to use. 8+ hours easily on the battery.

What I dislike- high price, easy to mark touch screen. Tends to run about $300 more than a competetor.Read full review...

The gift that keeps giving could just be an iPad.

I bought the iPad as a gift and specifically with the requirements the person receiving the gift wanted. It is often easier to simply ask what is wanted and give it rather than guessing and in the end buying something you either imagine they want or that you would like to get as a gift. I don't have one so I cannot personally say whether I would like it as much as those that do with all the whoos, ahs, and wows I hear whenever someone is around me that has one. As a gift, albeit an expensive gift, I doubt that you can go wrong with this thing but when in doubt, it is always best to simply ask.Read full review...

Perfect!

It’s perfect for what I needed! It’s just like new. Of course it’s slower than a brand new IPad, but for the price it was an amazing value!

100% satisfied

best electronic toy I have ever experienced. Love the ease and comfort of having a computer on the run! Perfect for traveling and not having to carry along a heavy laptop. I am already a macbook pro user, so I was sold on Apple products, but this is definitely easy for PC users as well. Highly recommend.Read full review...

My Kindergartener Loves It

I bought the iPad for my granddaughter. She loves it because it is fast and has a lot of memory for her games. She is in kindergarten and works it like a champ.

Headaches of iOS restrictions
