After creating a product that spawned an entire generation of mediocre clones, the second coming was always on the cards. In fact, some are already talking about an iPad 3.0!
However, for the moment, let’s bask in the warm afterglow of an enjoyable product that is both elegantly designed and effortlessly usable. The iPad 2 is slighty slimmer and lighter than its predecessor but sports the same display and resolution, and the brushed aluminium unibody. However, it’s clear that buttons and keys on the body have seen minor adjustments, probably based on feedback. Under the hood however, things could not be any more different, for the iPad 2 sports a dual core processor clocked at 1 GHz and a new graphic solution that Apple claims is at least 3 times more powerful, the SoC is called the A5, and whether or not it’s identical to the Samsung Exynos, Apple blokes will not say.
