Apple iPad 2 review: Apple iPad 2

 

Apple iPad 2

Apple's ; is dramatically thinner and boasts front and rear cameras, FaceTime video chat, a faster processor, and 3G options for both AT&T and Verizon.

The iPad's screen resolution hasn't budged, photo quality is mediocre, there's still no Adobe Flash support, and ports for HDMI, USB, and SD all require adapters.

The iPad 2 refines an already excellent product. Its easy-to-use interface, vast app catalog, and marathon battery life bolster Apple's claim to being the king of tablets.

Review: Apple iPad 2

 

The iPad shed some weight and gained some speed to become the iPad 2. It's incredible what a difference that makes.

Skinnier profile shows mercy to your joints. Big performance boost makes apps, games and web browsing more zippy. Same 0 starting price and 10-hour battery life

Mediocre cameras make still photos look slimy. Thinner body makes physical buttons on the side a little harder to press

The competition must really hate Apple. The Apple iPad wasn't just a successful tablet computer in 2010--it was the tablet computer. In one fell swoop, Apple created the new tablet market and sold tens of millions of iPads in spite of a global economic...

Apple iPad 2 (Wi-Fi + 3G)

 

The clear standout in the ever-widening sea of tablets, the Apple iPad 2 brings a slimmer design, faster processing, dual cameras, and FaceTime video chat to a tablet that already had a leg up on the competition.

Thinner than the original. New A5 chip offers faster graphics processing, general performance. Dual cameras for video chat, HD video recording, and stills. Improved design incorporates internal magnets for Smart Cover accessory. 3G versions available...

Image quality with rear-facing camera is not great. Front-facing camera is not HD. Still no Flash video support. No earbuds included.

The 3G radio for the iPad delivers solid speed that's in line with other Verizon 3G devices. To no one's surprise, our speed tests varied significantly depending on our locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn—the combined results yielded averages of 0.72...

The Apple iPad 2 Review

 

I don't exactly remember when I stopped using the iPad, but it wasn't without me trying to use it. We reviewed the WiFi version on AnandTech last year but it was the AT&T 3G version that I ended up using most of the time. For short trips around NC I'd...

Apple iPad 2 Preview

 

The second generation iPad went on sale earlier today, to much fanfare and long, long lines. We're hard at work on our full review of Apple's second generation tablet but there were a few things we wanted to chime in on before too much time passed.
