The iPad 2 is Apple’s second release after the famous iPad a few years ago. It totes a number of features, many of which are very exciting to use while at the same time retains a few of the drawbacks it’s former ancestor had. Let’s go into some detail about the pros and cons of the new iPad 2!

The iPad 2 has absolutely wonderful app features. If you want an application oriented tablet, you will want to get the iPad 2. Unlike the iPad 1, the iPad 2 has way more compatibility features and the apps simply run more smoothly on it. Play an RPG game, for example, and notice how the movements are much more fluid than the previous tablet version. Also note how surfing the internet is much faster due to the new implementation of the 3G WiFi feature. Remember that if you only get WiFi, then you’ll be able to pick up internet from corresponding locations in public as well as at your own dwelling. If you sign up for Verizon or AT&T 3G WiFi, then your surfing experience will be much faster.

The memory features are amazing because there are three types to choose from – 16G, 32G and 64G. Keep in mind that 16G will be about all you need if you’re the average user. Now, if you’re one for downloading DVDs and watching streaming satellite television every few days, then you will want to purchase the 64G. This small tip is just to save you extra unnecessary expenses on your pocketbook. Then of course, there is the color. You can choose between white and black. Don’t worry because if you don’t like either of those colors, there are tons of skins available ranging from each of the solid rainbow colors to tiger skin designs, sceneries, oceans, flowers and more.

The main drawback with the iPad 2 is that the screen gets dirty pretty easily, provided that its main use requires your hands to touch it. Make sure your hands are clean and relatively dry and not greasy. If you plan to use it frequently, make sure you invest in a good screen protector. If you’re out in the sun, try to use your iPad 2 in a shaded area because the sun glares off of the screen. Also, there’s no Flash support for this tablet, so if you’re visiting websites that have flash, then those parts of the websites won’t show up. All in all though, the pros definitely outweigh the cons, and your purchase will be a great one if you decide to go with iPad 2.
