Getting to the iPad 2: it is really different

noreply@blogger.com (youcef) — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 02:19:00 +0000

The iPad 2 is not only lighter and thinner. It seems qualitatively different use.

In fact it is so thin that when you see it in its protection stained, you may think it is only accessory. But no iPad 2 is well inside!

You have to "peel"the protection fixed magnetically to appear iPad 2. It folds origami way:

The angle created by the folding elevates the upper part of the iPad 2 and facilitates its use, especially for text entry.

In use, the iPad 2 is incredibly fast. No slowdown picture or sound, even on a game drive intense graphics. Switch from one application to another is done just as quickly. In fact the only slowdown during our ownership has been at the time of launch iMovie project by loading a pre-existing. The impression of fluidity is very impressive.

The little grating base portion of the device indicates the presence of the speaker, but noisy during our ownership has failed to really determine if it was satisfactory. The camera shoots well and truly back in HD, and HDMI cable allows you to play HD movies on an external display.

Overall we can say that Apple did not reinvent the wheel with technically iPad 2. But the company has demonstrated its porting apps, including iMovie and GarageBand, it intended to disseminate widely the tablet to an audience of computer-illiterates looking for a simple and easy to take in hand (in all sense of the term).

Reassure yourself (or not), we observe the same phenomenon in other fields as hi-tech gadgets: If you attend a few car forums, you can find the same dialogue of the deaf often inflamed between fans of Renault and Peugeot , fervent advocates against those Mercedes BMW or Ferrari fans against those of Porsche.

To return to our sheep, it was long considered the Apple fanboys as the most hopeless, but judging by recent comments, some Android fanboys are worse than Apple fanboys. If so, it was possible.

You only one thing left to do: embrace your status fanboy fatal and download this beautiful artwork as wallpaper for your computer. In fact, Mac or PC

If novelty is part of your criteria happiness gadget, you'd better think twice before ordering one of these devices because the current models are coming soon to the end of their life cycle.

This is the new MacBook Pro coming out of the timber first, and everything suggests it will be this week. The new iPad would be revealed within weeks and the iPhone in June. You could possibly make an exception for the iPhone, because June is still far away. Especially if you have no phone and you think you'll need to spend one or two phone calls by the summer.

Yes, waiting is sometimes painful. Especially if you're the kind of impatient. Especially as Amazon or the Apple Store you have to get accustomed quickly your new gadgets. But except in cases of force majeure you'd better take your troubles patiently. Because the speed at which technology evolves, twelve-month gap between the two products are sometimes a little eternity.
