Apple certainly like to do the few people in India, as expected products. Even then manage to get our hands on their products before launching them here. Last year we were among the first in India to get our hands on an iPad and publish our experience with him.
This year, as luck would have a colleague decided to get a IPAD itself from the United Kingdom and was glad that they provide to us for a preview. Of course, we know better than to keep an owner out of his new device for long, so just enough time to make a quick preview like last time instead of a full Apple iPad 2 Preview.
However, what follows is a sufficiently detailed description that should give you an idea of what exactly is new 2 IPAD.
Design:
The IPAD never was particularly thick, but it is only after holding the IPAD 2 do not realize how thick it really is. The IPAD had a hunched back and nearly one centimeter thick edge. The IPAD 2 has a flat back side edge almost at all. In contrast, only the back curves upward to meet the front, as in the fourth-generation iPod touch. This has a considerable effect on the ergonomics. While the new design worked against the iPod touch, which enhances the feeling of IPAD 2 considerations.
The IPAD 2 feels much better in hand and also gives a better grip. The weight is also distributed better in the iPAD 2, where the focus was more heavy bulging sides. Apple has also reduced the total weight, however, still feels a bit heavy for extended use with one hand. The problem, rather than the weight itself, is the width of the device, which extends the weight away from your hand, putting more pressure on the wrist.
When viewed from the front, IPAD 2 again seems smaller. No significant metal border found on the IPAD and in the case of IPAD 2, the glass now appears to be almost to the edge. There is still a significant bezel around the screen, if necessary to support the device without touching the touch screen. You may also notice FaceTime camera above the screen, with the effect of ambient light located just above.
