iPad 2

iPad 2 - Thinner, Lighter, Full Of Innovations

How much thinner? That thinner - 8.8 mm. How much lighter? Keep reading about the Apple beauty. How many innovations? Endless - the iPad 2 applications will make your world spin around faster...

So we are days away, and I decide to write this lens for 2 good reasons:
1) To inform you about the new features, and informed reader is always a great user/customer/friend...
2) To remind you that the first iPad will get incredible discounts in the next days and weeks (actually it already started), check it out and take advantage.

Good luck with the old or new one, you are a winner!

Note 1:
If you don't have enough time to enjoy all Videos, I recommend to watch just the second one (the hands-on, after the boring specifications)

Note 2:
I try to come with easy to read and short version of the iPad info but you can search the extended version at :

See bigger smiles with FaceTime. You know that face-to-face effect is awesome ... Don't you? Your iPad 2 calls someone else's iPad 2, iPhone 4, new iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi and voila! ... your friend is sitting on that couch watching TV, or around the table at dinner time with family and friends.... !


Take fun photos in Photo Booth. You can start shooting pictures snapshot-style (artsy, wacky, other weird effects, twist up, see doubled). It is a lot of fun for family reunion, proms, comic projects at school for your girl and so on


There's no better place for an inbox. You check your email many times a day, view and open attachments right in the message - I like that! Don't you?

    I have head a lot of great things about the iPad2, and was hoping to get one for my birthday on 3/6, but my wife got me an MacBook Pro instead, so I'll have to wait until Christmas for my iPad. Hopefully the iPad 3 is out by then.

    Yes, iPad 3 must be on the market on Sept. 20011 so success to get it by Christmas.

    This is really thin. I was assured by an apps developer for android that the ipad is easier and for me as I am not really knowledgeable, this one is just perfect. Will have to wait till I get home. Thanks for the feature.

    I have an iPad original, shortly to be outdated... except that the features of the new one don't seem all that different from the original. I mean, who really NEEDS a camera? Still - cool device. I could not do without it.
  • Michey Mar 6, 2011 @ 4:12 pm | delete
    Well, according with Steve, it is a new design which will also permit the Ver 3 innovations which, by the way, is expected on Sept 2011. For this version the big plus is the speed, the photo and video, and mirroring the Videos.
    The web browsing is 2 times faster, the photo loading is 9 times faster, without this speed any new additions cannot be possible.... So like everything in life there are pluses and minuses. Ver 3 will have a retina display. Sometime mew features are not directly impacting the users...
    Thanks for stopping by
    Regards

    Would you believe that I don't have an iPad but this iPad 2 looks and sounds great.
