Top Features of the New Apple iPad 2

With such a dominant grasp on the tablet market, many people are wondering where Apple could possibly go with their iPad 2 that is slated for full release on 3/11. The answer to this is practically everything. This tablet is going to be lighter, thinner, more powerful, and have better ergonomics than ever. Apple realizes that they are about to be attacked in this niche market and they are ramping up the design features to stay competitive.

The iPad 2 is going to feel quite different in the hands, but in a good way. It is 33% thinner and 15% lighter than the original without sacrificing any screen size. The speaker grilles have been dramatically enlarged in the back for clearer quality sound to go along with the streamlined build. The paint scheme will be expanded with the second generation of the iPad to either black or white hard cases straight out of the box.

The internals are no less impressive with a dual core 1GHz A5 processor that claims to be nearly twice as fast as the original including graphics that are nearly nine times better. This would generally mean much more power consumption, but the battery life remains nearly identical with 10 hours of playtime. There is still the option for a Wi-Fi only edition at a significantly reduced price with the 3G version running quite a bit more expensive.

Apple took a hint from the success of their later-generation iPhones and implemented a VGA front-facing camera for their FaceTime video chat program. This allows for one of the easiest and most conventional face to face functions on the market and is sure to be a large draw. The traditional rear-facing camera is also included with 720p resolution shooting at 30 frames per second. Included in the rear facing camera is a highly responsive auto-focus with a 5x digital zoom for catching those long distance shots.

Steve Jobs himself has designed and perfected the cover for iPad 2. Apple is careful not to call this a case, but a responsive and customized cover. There is both a plastic and leather option for these Smart Covers that can be acquired during purchase of the iPad. The proximity sensors will wake and sleep the iPad whenever the protective screen flap is open or closed. It will stay firmly shut even during the jostling that can occur in a briefcase or backpack with a powerful magnetic snap to keep the sensitive touch screen safe.

If one thing can be said about Apple, it is their unwillingness to rest on their laurels when it comes to the technology race. In a market that does not change yearly, but weekly, they continue to set their sights to the future with the lighter, smaller, and faster iPad 2.
