Pure Apple: many qualities and defects annoying because volunteers

I'm lucky through my job to use all kinds of shelves. Logically, after the iPad came the iPad 2. Under the hood, the main difference between the two generations is that the new process has a more powerful dual-core. The screen is more or less identical in terms of rendering, which is a shame because the definition is relatively small compared to the size of the screen, especially for those accustomed to the pixel density of a Retina display on the iPhone 4. At the grip, the weight gain remains light and the camera is not made to be held in a hand too long. The thickness gain is significant, but it is primarily a design improvement rather than ergonomics. In use, the thickness of matter, but the thinness of the iPad 2 still gives its owner a feeling of "wow" at the sight of the camera. There is always this magical side to this delicacy. For applications accessed natively with iOS, the best computing power of the iPad 2 does not fundamentally change the use of the device compared to an iPad 1. This is due to good optimization of applications and a way identical to an iPhone multitasking, that is to say, most applications do not actually look in the background, but just happy to save a context to put to use where it was. Additionally, iOS is primarily a system designed for phones: it does not need a monster processor to function properly. I have not tried, but I think that with some intensive games, the iPad 2 will give its full potential compared to its predecessor.

Like its predecessor, the iPad 2 is one of the objects on which you can write pages to find those who love and those who hate. As a techie, the owner of an iPhone (and Android + Blackberry), but at the same time very critical to Apple, I hope to stay objective enough.

* Benefits:
- Device fully dedicated to the consultation through its maneuverability and a comfortable screen;
- Very good battery life despite a slight weight for a laptop;
- Excellent Reactivity;
- Ergonomics similar to the iPhone, that is to say, a non-geek can use it easily, while an expert will eventually be unnerved by basic settings and without shortcuts to access them;
- Many applications available and the list keeps growing, companies tend to come out for the iPad just for a question of image, even if the installed base is not so big;
- A design and a flawless finish.

* Disadvantages:
- Unsupported Flash Technology, which makes some websites unusable. Flash has flaws, but it has not yet serious replacement for the moment, no offense to Apple;
- Transfer files very difficult. Not only must go through iTunes, but it works for directory synchronization and not copy-and-drop;
- A weight forcing the tablet to ask to use it, unless it is an accomplished weightlifter ...
- Too bulky device to encourage the self carry unreasonably. He will remain in the office or at home, and his mobility is done within one finally building;
- Low power usage and limited compared to laptops.

Should You Buy an iPad 2? If you already have a laptop, the iPad 2 can be a complement to the house to check emails or surf the Internet while watching television, read the TV programs, see the next day's weather, listening to music with AirPlay device ... Children also love the iPad 2 to play simple but fun games. At the office he used to take office documents in a meeting, including the file synchronization application use like Dropbox to overcome the file transfer problem. Consultation emails is more delicate because of e-mail solutions business owners like Exchange or Lotus.

A laptop for the same price remains much more versatile. Try to use an iPad to do word processing with some layout and you will love your PC again. Personally, I have a laptop, but with a touch screen. I combines the power, comfort keyboard to write, and comfort of touch for surfing. Finally, it depends on high tech budget of the buyer. The iPad 2 remains a beautiful object, but planned obsolescence, with an iPad 3 rumors which suggest a fantastic display in terms of definition.
