Front camera: yes Rear camera: yesToday we’ll look again at one of Apple’s products. , has already lost its former popularity. We're talking about the second generation iPad. Of course, today this model, against the backdrop of 3G, iPad 4, Air and others, is outdated. And it’s unlikely that anyone is going to buy it specifically for everyday use. But it’s also impossible to say that it is a rarity.
We will provide a detailed description of this tablet in order to see how the history of this product developed. This way you can better understand how the new iPad models differ from the second version of the tablet. Let's start, as usual, with the appearance.
The device resembles an Apple player . It’s as if several players were connected together and a second tablet came out. However, it looks thin and quite elegant. But to some extent there is deception here. The edges of the device are rounded, which gives the impression that the device is thinner than it actually is. When you pick it up, it seems that it is even smaller than the first tablet. This is actually true. But visually the difference cannot be determined. By the way, the first model weighed 680 grams, and the second only 601. The difference in thickness was more than 5 mm. But this parameter, we emphasize once again, is not visible to the ordinary eye.
The body material remains the same. It is aluminum with a rough texture. The display is protected with an oleophobic coating. But given the size of the display, fingerprints remain on it, and they are very noticeable.
Due to the presence of beveled ends, something wrong happens with the USB cords. Only this accessory (which comes in the box) fits the connector. The device does not perceive others, even if they look exactly the same. An adapter for the network is also included with the gadget. For Russian devices, of course, there is a corresponding plug.
The speaker is designed in an interesting way - with a perforated part. It is located at the very bottom of the device. Compared to a similar element of the first tablet, it has become quite a bit louder and a little better quality. There have been no fundamental changes to this detail.
Models with 3G also have a black insert at the top of the case. There is also a microphone hole there. The connector is beveled, but different headsets connect to it without problems.
A review of Pad 2 16 GB and 3 G showed that almost all the accessories of the first device are suitable for the named models. The same can be said about the version with GSM (A1396). But there is one caveat regarding the connector. Before purchasing add-ons, you should definitely try to see if they fit this element. But the cases and covers fit perfectly, you can buy without trying them on. But again, we're talking about simple options. If the model has Wi-Fi (and therefore an antenna), it’s better not to buy a pig in a poke. For example this iPad model 2 Wi-Fi 16 GB.
With the arrival of the second model, it became possible to choose a black or white gadget. The color of the frame also changes. As they say, there is a version for women and men. Different options are available for all models (3G and others).
iPad 2 display
Let's continue detailed review screen characteristics. The 3G version and others have a diagonal of 9.7 inches. The resolution is excellent. The picture, according to most users, is excellent.
Among the problems, some noted occasional problems with the backlight at the bottom of the screen. But these are rather special cases that occur extremely rarely.
The viewing angles of the display of the second tablet are simply magnificent. The colors are bright and rich. Everything is ideally created for both gaming and surfing the Internet.
In general, there is nothing more to say about this element of the device. For its time and technical level of the device, the display has ideal characteristics.
Control system
Everything here has been preserved, just like the first generation tablet. Sound volume control elements and a lever on the side are all present. Through the menu you can program actions (turn on or off sounds, rotate the picture, etc.). The element under the screen has become somewhat softer. The element located above and to the left has been preserved. But it was raised a little from the body, and using the button is now more convenient.
The display uses touch technology. It's easy and convenient to work with.
iPad 2 Apple camera specifications
The developer added to new tablet 2 cameras, like smartphones - front and back of the case. The element can be used for Face T ime. The icon of this software is located on the desktop, and dealing with it is very simple. Contacts are added at the elementary level - in one click. But the call will require a Wi-Fi connection. However, you shouldn't expect a high video frequency. As with the 4S smartphone, you can switch the camera view.
The element on the back is not very good High Quality. But the video clips turn out quite good. There are functions for maintaining geotagging and focusing on a specific object.
Nutrition
According to the manufacturer, the operating time of the second tablet without recharging is around 10 hours. We are talking about the state of the gadget when it is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Almost all owners of this version of the device note that the period battery life They are completely satisfied with the tablet. And it's really long. All this despite the presence of a large display and a processor with 2 cores. All this cannot but please, especially those who, for some reason, decide to purchase this particular tablet today.
CPU
The device is equipped with an A5 processor with a frequency of 1 GHz and has 2 cores. But this information means nothing to the average user. He can only feel the difference.
When comparing the speed of the first tablet and the second model, it turns out that the new device is much faster. This can be seen in the work of Safari. Games launch quickly too. Switching between software has also become a more efficient process. That is, when practical use gadget everything becomes obvious.
What about the connection?
When you place a SIM card in the appropriate slot, it is quickly recognized by the device. For those who don’t know, you don’t need any unlocks for tablets.
The model with Wi-Fi is good for owners of 3Gs smartphones and fourth gadgets. The operating systems of these devices have a personal access point. But the model with 3G has an advantage, since it includes digital compass. This element also works in cards.
It's great that the second tablet can be connected to the TV. But you need to purchase an adapter, and the cost of this accessory is rather high (starts at $30). As practice has shown, this function is not in great demand among users. Because there are plenty of other interesting things in the device. These include games, the ability to watch videos and much more.
Connecting to access points does not cause any problems. Bluetooth works great with both a simple and stereo headset.
Memory
The tablet was released in 3 variations - with memory of 16, 32 and 64 GB. Here, when buying, the principle applies - the more, the better. It also depends on your needs. One buys a device mainly for surfing the Internet. The other is for listening to music tracks and games. By the way, the sound quality, compared to the first generation tablet, has remained virtually unchanged.
To summarize what has been said...
With the release of the second tablet, the Apple company achieved the following. As usual, the world was discussing the new product, as if only Apple produces gadgets of this type. Any innovations of competitors were always met with less stormy applause.
It was important for the company to consolidate the success of the first line of devices. The second tablet did not make a revolution, because in many respects it corresponded to the first. It was more of an evolution.
But the question of whether it was worth changing the previous model of the gadget for a second tablet, the answer is clear. Of course, yes, if the user acquires technical innovations, focusing on the principle, the “fresh” the better. But if you’re stuck with extra funds, and you’re quite happy with your current device, there’s no reason to run to the store for a new device.
Significant advantages of the second tablet are the presence of cameras and faster processor operation. That's all.
This is a revolutionary high-tech second-generation multifunctional mobile device that allows you to read, listen to music, play, watch HD videos, visit websites, check email, work and communicate. The elegant and stylish body of the model has an updated design; it has become 33% thinner and almost 15% lighter, so it is very comfortable to hold in your hands.
Tablet Apple iPad 2 is based on a powerful dual-core processor Apple A5, which ensures the device's performance when downloading applications, multitasking, and performing resource-intensive tasks. Power graphics system models are almost nine times larger than Apple's iPad first generation, thanks to which the owner can comfortably play, watch movies and photos, edit videos in the iMovie application or include animation in Keynote.
IN tablet computer Apple iPad 2 a large 9.7-inch screen with wide viewing angles and LED backlight, which displays clear, bright, rich images even in low light and from any angle. The display features Multi-Touch technology, which recognizes a wide range of gestures using electrical fields. The model runs on a secure, reliable and productive mobile operating system iOS 4 with many useful and fun built-in applications.
Apple iPad 2 instantly wakes from sleep mode (you just need to press the Home button) and lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge thanks to a combination of efficient flash storage, an improved OS, an energy-efficient processor, LED-backlit screen matrix and lithium battery with polymer electrolyte with a capacity of 25 W/h.
The built-in accelerometer allows you to hold the tablet horizontally, vertically, even turn it upside down - the picture on the screen will always be displayed correctly. IN iPad 2 There is also a three-axis gyroscope and compass, all of which technologies determine the location of the device, its position relative to the ground and movement parameters. This is a significant step forward for games, navigation maps And various applications. The model is equipped with two cameras: one is located on the front panel of the case, and the second is on the back. They are designed for making video calls in FaceTime and can work in pairs, that is, you can not only see each other, but also show your interlocutor what is happening around. The rear camera can shoot HD videos and take photos.
Tablet apple computer iPad 2 Supports connection to Wi-Fi and 3G networks. The model automatically detects available Wi-Fi networks, and if the owner finds himself in a place where there are none, he will be able to connect to the Internet via 3G technology - for this you need to install a Micro-SIM card.

Just a couple of months ago I bought a netbook for entertainment and work, 10 inches, so it would be easy to carry, etc. as a result, the bag always tore if there was anything else with the netbook) reading on a small screen is not very pleasant, working the same way, so Having purchased the IPAD 2, I was pleasantly surprised and very happy with the purchase! replaces the laptop completely, it’s very cool to listen to music, watch movies, surf the Internet and play applications is also a pleasure! There are no complications in this device; it is suitable for both children and adults. It is also possible to work. It’s easy to read. The design is simple, but this is Apple; it doesn’t need bells and whistles) the operating time is also good news, especially when traveling :)
