First contact with iPad 2

Is only 11 months old, but my iPad has become old. The apparatus with which Apple wants to redefine "the post-PC" and has no substitute. His name is pretty easy, iPad 2. A simple view is the same as his older brother, but is now also in white. When holding hands does not appear that is 33% thinner. Now measures 8.8 millimeters in profile against the 13.4 mm of its predecessor.

Neither has been seen that done a sylph with its approximately 590 grams, 600 grams less than the last. However, as is placed face to face with the original iPad, the differences are obvious. As the rate note which gives its new processor, A5, as the first application is opened at random.


The A5 chip is, according to Apple, two times more powerful than its predecessor and also has set up a nine times greater graphics power. Steve Jobs came back on Wednesday at the Yerbabuena Center of San Francisco. It was an even bigger surprise that the news he was going to show during your presentation.

The scenery was the same as last year and the script, as expected, was mainly iPad. From its new design, the new processor, operating system upgrade to version 4.3 and its two new cameras, front and rear. The first is to make video calls through the application FaceTime. On his first day was impossible to prove, but he told me an Apple representative, the ecosystem of devices in the apple company and can talk to each other for free over the wireless network (wifi).

IPad ie call 2 to 4 or iPod Touch iPhone, not forgetting to Macs and vice versa. In the five minutes I had a few in my hands iPad surf the Web, I portrayed the people around me and myself with the application Photoboot. I also played some time to the races. Now, with the gyroscope integrated simulate Fernando Alonso is even more fun than before.

I had little time for more, except to confirm that now, via the Apple TV will wirelessly stream iPad 2 any application, where previously only could be done with the videos. Ie applications that are viewing your iPad, visions in a larger size on your TV. As a curiosity, the new magnetic fiber sleeve.

From the outset, it seemed useless. Then, with video, I valued something more and finally when I played with it, both to protect the device to serve as a stand (vertical and horizontal) actually saw him grace. Again, the magician Jobs pulled something strange at the same time span of the hat.

A magician who began his talk guerrilla and ironic, accusing the industry of "Copy tablet", but ended up getting excited and entecortada voice in the auditorium. In any event, Jobs did not want to give any advantage to "copietas" of your tablet, the device it wants to "redefine the post-PC era."
