ALL ABOUT THE IPAD 2 IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE What’s On iPad 2’s Outside: The Basics A top button turns the display on or off, and a front button brings you back to the Home Screen. Now sold in white- or black-bezeled versions, the iPad 2 has a glass face, with only a ring of plastic separating the glass from a thin silver aluminum bezel. As with the first iPad, the glossy screen quickly gets covered in fingerprints, a problem reduced substantially by quality anti-smudge film protectors. One of two newly-added cameras is centered above the screen. Durable but scratchable aluminum continues from the curved edges to form the device’s back, which reaches a 0.34” thickness and includes the second camera. At center, there’s a glossy Apple logo atop the iPad name and a small capacity badge. Both iPad 2s with Wi-Fi +3G also have a black plastic antenna compartment on the back top; the GSM version has a Micro-SIM card slot on the upper right side when viewed from behind. Headphone Port + Mic Side Switch + Volume Dock Connector Speakers iPad 2’s 3.5mm headphone port fits most earphones, and supports Apple three-button remote controls and microphones. A tiny topcentered hole hides iPad 2’s built-in mic, which works for voice recording, videos, and VoIP calling. Based on your preference, a switch above the iPad 2’s right-mounted volume buttons either locks the screen in any portrait or landscape orientation, or mutes notification sounds, leaving the volume buttons for everything else. Apple’s 30-pin port is dead centered on the iPad 2’s bottom. It connects to cables, chargers, docks, speakers, adapters, and small electronic accessories. The iPad previously had three mesh pill-shaped speaker grilles on the bottom; now there’s a larger dot pattern to vent the speakers through iPad 2’s back at roughly the same volume level. 28
IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE ALL ABOUT THE IPAD 2 What’s Packed In: Not Much iPad 2’s box includes a wall power adapter, a USB cable, a one-page instruction card, a warranty booklet, and stickers; the GSM version adds a SIM tray-opening tool. Conspicuously absent are necessities such as a stand or a screen-cleaning cloth; Apple sells a $29 dock, magnetic Smart Covers ($39-$69), extra power adapters ($29), a camera adapter kit ($29), and video adapters/cables ($29-$49). What’s Inside the iPad 2: Key Hardware Features The iPad 2 shares features with the iPhone 4 and iPod touch, besides the bigger screen and battery. Multi-Touch Front Camera Rear Camera Sensors iPad 2’s screen can detect up to 11 individual touch points at once. Most apps use two or three. The new 640x480 front camera is lowres, but auto-adjusts pretty well to dim lighting conditions. iPad 2’s 1280x720 rear camera is adequate for 720p videos; it takes awful-looking still pictures, though. iPad 2 adds a 3-axis gyroscope to its prior 3-axis accelerometer to provide accurate motion sensing. Memory Wi-Fi Bluetooth 3G/EDGE How much space do 16/32/64GB iPad 2s actually let you use? 14/29/59GB. Unless you don’t plan to store movies/music, buy a 32/64GB model. CPU/GPU iPad 2’s dual-core A5 chip runs at 1.0GHz. Paired with 512MB of RAM and a PowerVR SGX543MP2 GPU, game graphics are 5x better than iPad 1’s. Every iPad 2 supports 802.11a, b, g, and n wireless networks for access to the Internet. Web pages, maps, and high-definition streamed videos load noticeably faster when using 802.11n, which requires a wireless router made within the last several years. Battery life with Wi-Fi is better than with 3G. iPad 2 supports Bluetooth 2.1 for stereo audio streaming to headphones and speakers, as well as wireless gaming between various iOS devices. It also has support for Bluetooth keyboards - a huge benefit for word processor users - but does not support monaural wireless headsets. The GSM iPad 2 with Wi-Fi + 3G includes support for GSM, EDGE, UMTS 3G, and HSDPA 3G for global cellular data access, achieving 0.6- 2.5Mbps downloads and 1.0-1.3Mbps uploads. The CDMA iPad 2 supports CDMA EV-DO Rev. A networks, with 0.3- 0.9Mbps downloads and 0.3-0.4Mbps uploads; it has no EDGE/2G fallback. 29
