The Ups and Downs of the Apple iPad 2

By David Lemora


Apple made a big splash not long ago when it released the iPad, and they now have the iPad2 which offers some additional upgrades and features. In the competitive field of tablet computers on the market, Apple has managed to grab most of the attention with the iPad. Why don't we see if the iPad 2 is really all that different original iPad.

Cell phone spy programs, is one example of the apps that you can get for the Iphone. The Ipad tablet has most of the very same apps!

One activity you can perform on an iPad 2 that you couldn't on the original iPad is FaceTime video calling. This is a feature that is rapidly becoming quite popular because it lets you see the person you're talking to in real time.

The iPad 2 has an HD camera on both the front and back, so you can see your friend's face with the front camera and use the back camera to take shots of your location if you want. The Photo Booth app enables you to take snapshots of yourself as well as your friends with your iPad. Don't buy the iPad just for this feature though because it is also available on the iPhone and on Mac computers.

The most frustrating aspect of today's technology is that pretty much as soon as you guy something, the company releases a newer and upgraded version of the same item. This is what happened when a lot of people bought the first generation of iPad. The fact of the matter, however, is that if you own an original iPad, you don't really need an iPad 2 even though it has been enhanced with some things you can't get with the original iPad.

There wasn't a camera in the original iPad which was a major criticism of the device. The iPad 2 has remedied this by giving you two cameras, one on the front and one on the back. Unfortunately, this still may not satisfy many users, as these cameras are not very high quality. These cameras are fine for taking the basic shot or chatting with friends on FaceTime, but they won't take high quality photos or videos. Since most serious photographers will have their own cameras and most mobile phones have cameras, this might not be considered that serious of a flaw.

While it isn't nearly perfect, there are still plenty of reasons to purchase an Apple iPad 2. As long as you're not dependent upon flash capability and don't expect miracles from the cameras you can still have a fabulous time on the web or watching movies or even using FaceTime to video chat with your friends. You shouldn't rely on the Apple iPad 2 as your primary electronic device, but you can do lots of interesting and enjoyable things on it all the same.
