Apple iPad 2
 |
Apple iPad 2 announced in March 2011 is the second gen Apple tablet, having a 9.7-inch screen. This model is dramatically thinner than its predecessor, has a faster processor Apple A5 (the first model had Apple A4). The processor speed is the major improvement, since the ipad 2 is powered by the faster A5 dual-core processor clocked at 1 GHz. The CPU is backed by 512 MB of RAM, while the internal storage is 16, 32 or 64 GB. In addition to the upgraded innards, Apple has improved the design. The second gen iPad is thinner and lighter – the Wi-Fi version weighs just 1.33 pounds while the 3G + Wi-Fi version is heavier (1.5 pounds) but still lighter than iPad 1. Apple has included two low-resolution cameras. At the back of the iPad 2, there’s a 0.7 MP shooter which is able to capture videos at 720p. However, the output quality is noticeably lower than on the videos delivered by the iPhone 3 and 4. There is also a front facing VGA shooter for video calls with low-res. Overall, the iPad 2 is a significantly upgraded version of the first gen Apple tablet. It has a faster processor, a slimmer and lighter body. |
