Hands-on-Review: The Apple iPad 2

The iPad 2 feels so noticeably thinner and lighter, you might easily mistake it for being disposable. Like a paper plate or a plastic cover, it triggers the habit to want to just toss it away once you're done with it. How many gadgets have I watched slim down to nothing? And yet it never gets old.

Apple iPad 2 Review

UPDATE (Jan 2015) : I no longer own this iPad, but it is still in use by one of my family members. As a matter of fact, my husband, daughter, and I have all owned the original iPads, iPad 2s, iPad 3s, iPad Airs, iPad minis, and iPad mini with Retina display.
Pros:
  • Slimmer and lighter than original iPad
  • Faster than original iPad and other tablets currently on the market
  • Many configurations available
  • so you can choose the storage and connectivity you need
  • Lowest tablet prices currently on the market
Cons:
  • Low-res cameras
  • iPad 2 is difficult to use as a hand-held camera because of its size and weight and the placement of the shutter button

  • Plenty of apps available
  • Front and rear cameras
  • Easy to use
Cons:
  • No Flash support
  • Complex tasks are fiddly and take time
  • Difficult to transfer non-iTunes content back and forth
