The new iPad 2 to the test now is a real computer

LONDON - To see them together there are differences in appearance, but just down a little 'look to distinguish all the details that separate the new iPad from the previous generation. But these items are made to be touched and handled, and here the generation gap is even more evident. The new iPad is considerably thinner than the "old" and is a difference that can be appreciated handling it for a few minutes.

The optimized dimensions bring a dowry of the other prominent physical feature, the weight. The number of grams lighter than the new tablet mean a never before seen for handling an object with these characteristics. What time is even more powerful, and if before it could be considered a substitute for a laptop, now there is even less doubt.

iPad 2 is not an appropriate name. In this new object of desire fit the definition of ipad air, so this is physically less than its predecessor. In use. The eperienza use of the second generation compared to the first family with iPad is different. First, iPad 2 is faster and use as a working tool, the benefits are felt more strongly.

Applications such as Pages and Numbers do better in multitasking, and then there are the two media app, iMovie and Garageband, that with the new hardware to be married. Assemble a video on iMovie is an amazingly simple, just launch the application, select the video clips even among those filmed by the same IPAD, to decide the duration lengthened or shortened with two fingers, and then drag it to the timeline.

Add effects and transitions, as well as audio or video, it's just a matter of choice, tap and drag. Finalize a video and share it on social networking or youtube this is reduced to a single tap. IPad, iMovie is an effective level, and given the complexity of the program, too easy to use.

Garageband is instead an app to make music that goes beyond the simple multi-track recorder. Provides aspiring rockstar eight audio tracks and almost every type of instrument, with sounds of a good standard and the possibility of intervention on novel sounds and parameters for a mobile application.

Interesting smart instrument, musical instruments that adapt intelligently to the ideas of the musician, or rather the lack thereof. Garageband is a cross between a game and a sequencer, but deep in the language of Steve Jobs means both "play" that "sound". The addition of cameras and FaceTime adds a dimension to the object that is now also a means of communication.

FaceTime specifically works very well on the iPad, the image will be sharp even in full screen and the conversation is fast. Entertaining the possibility of moving its touching cameo window, the user will see on the larger device. The smart cover. Besides iPad 2, Apple's found this time is called smart cover, custody intelligent.

An object that will inevitably trend, because this deals with Apple. Goodbye envelope full of old black and fingerprints off the smart cover is a cover for the magnetic coupling, which lies on the screen dell'iPad and sticks to the edges, carefully, only iPad 2. Through a system of battens folding, you can use it as a screen protector, such as vertical or inclined to work or watch a movie, and even folding it in half as support for his hand to take pictures or shoot video.

A purchase practically forced, and Steve Jobs knows it.
