IPad Analysis 2: improving to remain first

After video review how the iPad 2, thoroughly analyze plays for you. Few surprises we found in testing the Apple iPad 2, which fulfills its promise with the exception of the cameras of lower quality than we expected. But otherwise, the new iPad 2 begins the career of tablets in 2011 based on the opponents head and standing still in the starting blocks.

More speed, better design and personal touches make the iPad February 1 iPad tablet better than 1, but not be obliged to make the jump if you already possess one of the first generation. Since most Apple products usually have updates in their design, they start with the physical changes that this new iPad 2 brings to the market for tablets.

And advised that the new tablets were struggling to provide the best information on a key factor for the feelings of the consumer: the thickness. The iPad 2 there has been an important exercise and has positioned himself as the man to beat. Because hard data may seem cold, the new iPad thickness and weight of 2 and warned that hooks you.

It may seem that we are not going to notice but once in hand, her thinness is valued by most comfort when to catch it, and the new weight is also very well received by our hand despite being only 100 grams. The other protagonists are cosmetic changes to their ways, more rounded, making it more convenient to handle the Apple tablet.

But there would be advantages Tido. This redesign of the body, the majority of connectors are placed on curved surfaces, from the almost impossible to manage SIM card slot to the widely used 30-pin connector that has to get accustomed again to connect and disconnect the cable is something fast.

The volume controls also require a readjustment of our predefined maneuvers in the day to day, but exceeded. One improvement that could be forgotten but not want to happen is the speaker. The same improvement is very noticeable, but is that the previous model, any small improvement would have concluded with the party.

This new speaker can be heard better and allows a greater volume of work. Inside the new iPad 2 new stores also stand out. More RAM, GPU and a new dual-core processor performance enhancing tablet from Apple. If you are an active user and handle many documents, presentations, PDF, or open and close applications often, improving the notice.

In addition, the best is to come soon, when applications and especially the new games that know how to make dual-core. With this step forward Apple responds to the hardware improvements that their rivals are planning to draw from summer. Along with the slimmer, more media attention which has resulted in the new iPad 2 have been cameras.

Here too, Apple has adapted to what its rivals offer and has incorporated a well thought out front camera for video conferencing system and FaceTime to play in the development of hundreds of applications to modify the image or "play" with it. Deserves a separate paragraph rear camera, which can record video and take pictures but to a quality that we believe could have been improved.

If Apple wanted to give substance to the iPad auiovisual 2 and "sell" iMovie, the more they would have been better to let her manage it in tablet content that we wanted, whatever the source, although it is true that consumers have encountered unsupported codecs problems and would have quite ruined the user experience, something that Apple always put first.

I think not wrong to say that only Apple can do to talk about any accessory for your iPad 2 as the tablet itself. SmartCover, which is how they have decided to call the standard case (but religiously paid separately) is well designed (infinitely better than the previous one, paid the price of gold) and its operation draws worldwide attention.

The fastening system of magnets is reliable and robust, easy to install and remove, and the availability of colors gives a touch of personalization to the iPad 2. On the negative side we find that only protects the screen from dirt, leaving the metal back very exposed to scratches and dirt.

If we really want to protect the iPad 2 reliably with another fundamental need us more robust (in fact the SmartCover not a cover but a "wallpapers") and set aside that of Apple, no matter how nice that is. Novelty of the iPad 2 we only review the so-called mirroring, which means an accessory (or not) can reflect what happens in the tablet on an external display via HDMI.

The performance is perfect, with the possibility of recharging the tablet at the same time (yes, another cable separately), it seems a great idea to complement the tablet in a very sensitive but only via HDMI seems to be an understatement. From the start all the applications should have been reflected iOS via VGA on an external display.

If early February, with the progressive semipresentación what manufacturers like Samsung, Motorola and LG have plans to offer summer from the original iPad was slightly behind in the hardware section, the renewal of Apple has placed its iPad 2 again the head of the tablet market. The best dual core GPU, the front camera and the new slimmer design makes the iPad February 1 tablet back to follow.

But make no mistake. As happened in the first model, not the hardware that makes the iPad different from its rivals. No. The combination of applications, developer support and user experience (all enhanced twice by inactivity "real" of Android HoneyComb tablets) are the true recipe for success of the iPad, because beyond closed or open system ( war that the user does not even want to know) what matters is that when I do, work.

And if it's all chewed up, the better for the masses. When raised (and is real) an effective alternative, then we can talk and really be a war of tablets. And all this knowing that IOS has a lot to improve.
