Unique features of the ipad 2

1. At 9.7 inches of diagonal length and brightness that is nothing short of being called exquisite one would imagine this thing to have an average battery or a good battery but the battery life is extraordinary. I use my iPad for a couple of hours daily and I must say that despite music playback, wireless data transferring to the iPad from my mac iTunes library, this thing lasts me for at least 5 days. This is remarkable. I can give you the best device in the world as a manufacturer but if the battery life isn’t good what good is it to keep charging it. It does take a very long time to charge mind you which tells you that it’s gonna last you a while. For some bizarre reason I like to charge this with my Mac. Charging using the wall outlet is slowly getting primitive.

2. The speaker is amazing, it’s loud and clear but you have to know where the speakers are placed and it’s very important or else it will hamper your experience. Sometimes you have to hold it in your hands to make sure the sound output is ideal. Does it work well placing it on a flat surface glass or wood? Yes. What do I use the speaker for? iPod. At 16GB this is just about enough for me to carry a contemporary selection of music and films with me. Does it sound good while browsing internet pages? Yes. Youtube is exhilarating to say the least. Also only selected Facebook videos will work because many are not available on mobile devices so if something doesn’t run on your iPhone or android phone, it may not run on the iPad. Fair trade.

3. There are two cameras, both are sub par for 2011 but if you’re sitting in a dimly lit room and have washed your face, it may just somehow take a nice photo of you but I seldom take pictures from it. I like to record 30 second to 1 minute videos and email it directly to people. I always keep it connected with my wifi. This is really convenient and is a NEW WAY for me to keep in touch. I never did this with my mac or my iPhone. Also please note an interesting thing here, if your video is too long, your iPad tells you that you cannot send it owing to the large size. I have not gotten into the whole editing video and cutting it thing so what I then resort to is UPLOADING IT DIRECTLY ON YOUTUBE. Great feature though quality is to be compromised slightly.

4. The iPad 2 weighs less than the iPad 1 by a significant amount. This shall be reason enough for people to upgrade or maybe you guys can wait for the iPad 3 to come out in April next year (random estimate)

5. While typing on the iPad is a breeze for “novices” and “intermediates” it is not ideal for a super fast expert typer. Having said that I don’t use it much for typing. I am much faster on my phone than I am on the iPad. I have noticed i am able to type best when I am not holding the tablet in my hands and it is resting on a surface. Now I have installed a invisible shield for it because it liked to keep a daily account of fingerprints. Did I find an ideal one? No. I also use an invisible PLASTIGLASS thing for the back which I found on Amazon and found super amazing. The back is so smooth even with this accessory. I find the leather cases a little too pricey and there are several available but I find them kind of obstructing to the design of this iPad and a little cheap so I don’t use.

6. Great company on an airplane – While I am always fidgeting with this device when it’s playing something, the device makes for great company on an airplane provided you have an “mp4″ type file to play back on it. You can easily install it using iTunes. But if you have an avi file or a divx file I don’t know how to play them or transfer them. The iPad doesn’t work as a USB STORAGE device so it won’t show up on your finder (or my computer) when connected. There is no way for a user to save files by dragging and dropping. WHILE MANY ARGUE over the relevance of such storage, I believe the absence of it helps in keeping things organized and we all could do with a little less clutter. iTunes works beautifully for transferring stuff. I have noticed on all apple platforms (iPhone, iPod, iPad) that uploading a picture to Facebook involves more steps than on Android. Infact in certain cases Apple makes you buy an application to upload files to Facebook for the iPad. I find this cheek quite amusing but I take it with a pinch of humor. While playing back video you can tilt the device in any which way you want and the screen tilts that way. The video output is superior and the tilt helps so it makes sure your fingers don’t keep smacking into the headset jack when headphones are attached.

7. Browsing – Yahoo looks utterly brilliant on the iPad. I love to go once a day and simply look at their news features. Most search engines have specific websites for the tablets to access em and it looks super. My friend has a Xoom and he loves his tablet and is always talking about it but I see a sincere longing in him for an Apple iPad. The interface is unmatchable whether you are browsing, playing back a video or a song, the iPad wins. I do not use this as a task keeper so I don’t bother with office utilities and all. Neither do I edit videos on the iPad but I believe there are inexpensive solutions available. I read about them all the time on Macworld. Browsing on the internet, watching youtube videos, being on Facebook – it all seems flawless on the iPad. Much better than using a computer or an iPod or a phone. This is where the iPad truly shines. The font and the brightness I repeat is flawless and magical – nothing like i have seen in a dozen years of computers.

8. TRANSFER – With the new ios 5.00 and iCloud I can actually send music, video, pictures to the iPad or play them back on my mac without connecting. Another big significant improvement. Now if only I could charge it wirelessly

9. Are you thinking about getting the 32gb version? Don’t. The 16gb is just fine – for applications you won’t need more. Multi-tasking is very easy and truly mastered on the iPad as opposed to the relevance on an iPod or iPhone courtesy of the big screen. Yes there is no flash support so I can’t watch imdb trailers directly on the iPad. I have found applications which allow me to download music directly for free on the iPad – I am sure you will too. Netflix works flawlessly on this. I have put 740 songs on it and three films and have 35 applications installed but I still have 3GB remaining. After watching this film once I delete it to keep it free for another. This way you won’t need a bigger iPad but if you do the difference is just $100 + Tax. I have also found that there exist many solutions for iPad users to wirelessly connect the iPad with a wireless storage hard drive. The expansion options are super. So take a look into that but I strongly advise getting just the basic 16gb version. I have a 64 gb iPhone and 64gb iPod so maybe I am so adamant on the uselessness of a higher storage iPad too.

10. Miscallenous – It works with bluetooth, the iPad is light, unique for browsing, unique for youtube, ultra fast, multitasking is beautiful, you can play music or pandora while browsing, you can also switch the screen off and it will continue singing to you for several hours, the battery life does justice to it’s perfections, the cameras are ok, i never Skype using it or i don’t use FaceTime cause I don’t know many people who do that. I like to carry it in my 13inch laptop case logic bag when I have to. I haven’t dropped much water on it because i like it too much to be clumsy with it. No headphones or instruction manual is shipped. It took me roughly 30 minutes to set it up by connecting with my mac. It comes with a decent amount of charge so you can go 4 hours of playing around with it right out the box.

Now, you can order ipad 2 from Amazon
