The much awaited second generation of iPad has been recently launched by Apple. It is sleeker and faster than its predecessor. It is 33% thinner (even thinner than Apple’s iPhone 4). Owing to its reduced thickness, it is almost 15% lighter than the original iPad, but by no means a single-handed device. You would probably want to lean it on something if you want to use it for longer duration.

Shipped with the new A5 dual core processor, it is comfortably faster than its predecessor and capable of handling larger and more demanding applications easily. Performance of graphics is faster and smoother that makes it a gamers paradise. The new operating system on board allows you to multitask; so now you can play your favorite game and chat on facebook at the same time. iPad 2 stays cool even while you extensively use its able resources. A battery life of almost ten hours means that you can now have fun with your tablet pc with lesser interruptions.

Although the screen is same as the iPad, the buttons surrounding it have changed. Apart from the home button, all other buttons are tucked neatly in the sides making it seem less cluttered than the iPad 1 while also giving a better view of the screen while surfing, gaming or reading books. It, now, has a magnetic cover that protects the screen as well as  cleans it. iPad 2 has no USB port despite all the rumors about it.

iPad 2 has two cameras allowing a user to make video calls on his new device. Recording videos is equally rewarding; the quality is good even in bad lighting. But iPad 2 is definitely not the ideal choice for taking pictures. Anyways, with a 9.7 inch screen, it is too cumbersome to serve as a regular camera. Even though the speakers of iPad 2 are new, they are not very impressive and Apple could have done better with them. After all they have a history in revolutionizing the music industry with the introduction of the iPod.
