When the first iPad came out, Apple described it as the "most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price". Did the iPad 2 beat that definition? Without a doubt it did. The iPad revolutionized how we read, surf the internet and how we do a bunch of other stuff online. Going beyond that,the iPad 2 surpasses what the original did. You thought the first iPad was thin? Think again because one of the new iPad 2 features is a 33 percent even thinner design and look. That makes the iPad 2 15 percent lighter than the original. Its crazy right? How can a device so thin and so light be so powerful and capable? Well, there is more to this device than just its size and weight.

When you surf the Web with the iPad 2, you will notice the difference when watching movies, gaming, video calling and navigating between apps. The dual core A5 chip is one of the new iPad 2 features that brings out this experience. You can now do twice the work at once with no sweat or waiting time. Multi-tasking just got smoother with the new iPad 2. Plus the load times are much faster and everything just works better.

If you played games on the original iPad, then be amazed with one of the new iPad 2 features which makes gameplay more exciting - superfast graphics. With the new graphics capabilities of the iPad 2, graphics are more realistic and animations are much smoother. This new graphic performance also means that editing videos using iMovie and scrolling the photo library is much faster.

Don't all these new features, a powerful dual core chip and faster graphics work against the battery life? At another time and probably on another device, this could be true, but not with the new iPad 2. Remember that the original had a 10-hour battery life. How about the new? Believe it or not but the iPad 2 retains the same 10-hour battery life. This is because the new chip is battery efficient and the iOS utilizes the battery life in order to maintain it at the 10-hour level. This means that you can use the iPad for all night movie watching or one flight across the ocean.

Finally, 2 cameras - one on the front and one on the back - is one of the new iPad 2 features that blows the radar off the water. These cameras are designed to allow you to video call and work together, allow you to switch between the 2 cameras and share where you are or record what is going on around you. In addition, the cameras are HD, so anything you record is a mini-masterpiece. If you haven't tried the new iPad 2, you are definitely missing out.
