  • Enhanced feature set including two (!) new cameras
  • Blazing-fast processor

Apple iPad 2 (Verizon Wireless) Review

Other than improved JavaScript performance, surfing the web on the iPad 2 feels pretty much identical to the original tablet. And that's not a bad thing. Scrolling and zooming is still silky smooth.

The iPad 2 Review

With properly calibrated expectations--think minor refresh, rather than next generation--the iPad 2 continues Apple's reign as the king of tablets. If you haven't bought one yet, the iPad 2 is a stellar device that still feels like a little slice of science fiction come true.
Pros:
  • New A5 chip and RAM significantly improve overall performance, and gaming in particular
  • Dual cameras work fine for video calls
  • Thinner, lighter unibody looks slick and makes the iPad more comfortable to use.
Cons:
  • No transformative new features
  • Display is unchanged, so it still isn't usable in bright sunlight and attracts lots of smudgy fingerprints
  • Cameras yield poor, low-res photos
  • Using cameras is often difficult and requires awkward grip
  • No support for 4G cellular data.
