Apple iPad 2 16GB tablet computer. Information about the type of loudspeakers and supported by the audio technology

Two cameras for video calls FaceTime and write HD video. Dual-core apple processor A5. The same 10 hours of battery work. And at the same time a thinner and lightweight case. The iPad has become even more stunning. And even more unique.

Thinkish. Easier.
And more excellent ideas.
The one who touched the iPad 2 will not be easy to release it from the hands. This was the task in developing his new design. The iPad has become 33% thinner and almost 15% easier, so it is even more comfortable to hold in your hands. Watch sites and movies, check mail and read books on iPad 2 so naturally that you just forget about all incredible technologies embodied in it.

Dual-core A5 processor.
Speed. And once again speed.
Two powerful kernels in one A5 processor allow iPad to perform twice more work During the same time. You will undoubtedly notice the difference when you go online, watch movies, make FaceTime video calls, play and switch between applications. Multitasking function works smoothly, applications are loaded faster - everything works even better.

Ultrafast graphics.
To the joy of gamers.
Power graphic system iPad 2 enlarged almost nine times, thanks to which the games became more realistic. In addition, the modernization of the processor has a positive effect on the work of applications, especially related to video. You will notice it when you will watch the collection of photos, edit the video in iMovie or include animation in KeyNote.

Battery for active life.
Despite the fact that the iPad became easier and thinner, its battery as before it is withstanding up to 10 hours of operation. This is enough for a flight across the Atlantic, or for a whole night watching movies, or a week of use on the way to work and home. Economical processor A5 and iOS system It is not allowed to spend energy invested, so you can easily go on the road.

Two cameras. Large FaceTime for iPad.
In the iPad housing, two cameras: one on the front panel, the second on the back. They seem tiny, but are actually capable of much. Cameras are designed for video calls in FaceTime, and they work in a pair. You can not only talk to loved ones, but also see how they smile. The front camera allows you to see each other with the interlocutor. If you switch to the back chamber, you can show where you are and what happens around you. If the scene is worthy of attention, turn on the shooting mode on rear chamber iPad. The camera works in HD format, so each of your videos will become a small masterpiece. And using PHOTO BOOTH you can make funny pictures. This is definitely the most fun application for FACETIME.

Screen with LED backlight.
Enjoy the views.
Stunning big screen iPad is 9.7 inches of high-quality photos, movies, web pages and many other things. Neon lights Gives a clear, bright and lively picture. Even with weak lighting, for example, in an airplane. And you can keep the iPad as it is convenient for you. It supports vertical and horizontal orientation. Even if you turn the iPad, the picture on the screen will still be displayed correctly. Thanks to IPS technology (in-Plane Switching, plane switching), the viewing angle is 178 °. Expand the screen and show it to the one who is in the other end of the room, or look at it along with a person sitting next to you - will be excellent.

Multi-Touch.
All at hand.
The secret of good technology - it must be completely imperceptible, as if it is not. Multi-Touch technology on the iPad is implemented this way. Any action is performed with fingers, so everything you do is viewing websites, a set of emails, reading books and scrolling photos - it becomes easier and much more interesting. How does this technology work? When you touch the screen with your fingers, it recognizes the touch using electric fields. And then instantly converts your touch, brushing, information of the fingers and scrolling into realistic movements of objects on the screen. All elementary.

iOS 4.
The most perfect mobile in the world operating system.
iOS 4 is an iPad operating system (as well as for iPhone and iPod Touch.). It allows you to find, read and view everything you need, simple touch. It includes powerful, innovative and exciting embedded applications that you use every day - many times a day. iOS 4 is also a platform on which more than 65,000 amazing iPad applications have been created. It is fully integrated with the hardware iPad and is different high levels Security, reliability and performance. iOS 4 - this is the reason why other devices cannot even compare with the iPad.

Instant inclusion.
Magic with one touch.
Take the iPad, click the "Home" button - and it will instantly come out of sleep mode. The iPad has an efficient and reliable flash drive that provides fast access to data. The system comes to life by itself.

Wi-Fi and 3G.
Two excellent ways to stay in touch.
Each iPad supports modern wireless technology 802.11n. The device automatically finds available. wi-Fi network - To connect to the network, several touches are enough. There is also model iPad. with 3G support. If you are in the area where Wi-Fi network is not available, such as campaigning or on the road, you can still enter the Internet, check mail or recognize the route.

Gyro, accelerometer and compass.
iPad feels every movement.
Thanks to the built-in accelerometer, you can rotate the iPad horizontally, vertically, even upside down, and the picture on the screen will still be displayed correctly. In addition to the accelerometer in the iPad 2, a three-axis gyroscope and compass appeared. All of them determine the location of the iPad, its position relative to the Earth and the movement parameters. In games, maps and applications, every turn, slope and movement will now be taken into account. This is a huge step forward for video games. And the beginning of a new era for applications.

Duplication of video. Your iPad on a universal ferris.
Video duplication - new iPad feature. It can be used for all applications, video files, films, photos that you want to show a general public. Just connect the Apple digital AV adapter or the DOP-VGA adapter (they are sold separately), and the big screen of your HD TV or the projector will turn into the iPad screen. One connector - and ready. Everyone will see that you have on the display, even if you turn the iPad and change the scale of photos.

AirPrint. Print without wires.
Print emails, photos, web pages and documents directly with iPad software wireless network. No need to upload applications, install drivers or connect cables. Just a few touchs - and what you see on the iPad screen turns out to be on paper.

I am writing your feedback from this device. Thing is generally cool! Very long chose between Acer Iconia Tab W500, Acer A500 and iPad 2. About the choice I do not regret. The screen is simply gorgeous both in brightness and quality ... After the ipad, the screen of a computer or a phone to put it mildly seems not very ... Films Watch just one pleasure! On the Internet climb very comfortable. Even the child will figure out. It does not slow down, everything flies. Many consider the lack of flush with a huge minus. I thought so so, but after the purchase I understood that it was not so necessary. VKontakte music reproduces in standard Safari, almost all the movies also look out of contact ... and only 20% of the rollers require a flash ... If you really need a flash, there are crutches ... iTunes teach is comfortable, figured out after 5 minutes. Games are also at a high level. At least remember frantic birds

Firstly I bought it in just 11,000 rubles (new), bright screen, happy viewing angles are convenient (it's more convenient for my netbook), the iOS system is convenient and simple, a lot of free and useful programs on the app Store., Internet pages loads quickly and very quickly, nothing lags, the sound of the dynamics is also acceptable. It works from one hundred percent charge to zero 10 hours. Swinging Materials and assembly on perfectly !!! The screen does not scratch, the rear panel is pleasant to the touch of any backlash and squeaks.

1.Itunes are people for whom (minus) sorry but you only need a calculator for use. I will explain the advantages: work speed, smart synchronization, file transfer (100 songs 2-3 minutes). Ease of work, backup (as it saved me when turned off the light). 2. Escran IPS shows clearly, even a mesh is too visible, but it is sometimes for me for me, it is a plus (for the photographer) gloss, but bright. Conclusion: good, bright, when using matte protective film It will be perfect compared to Samsung (PS there is experience in using Tab 2) 3.Ios is a plus to work when it is closed I have enough of everything, and smoothness is simply pleasing to the eye. Paple A5 gives out everything I wanted performance on 5 +. Light work Excellent if on Tab 2 he saved as he could, then everything is fine in the sun all in

Excellent design, nice to hold in your hands. Thin compared to other tablets. Some kind of miracle glass is not very marked and there are practically no traces of fingers on it. Multitouch system is a very comfortable thing. All applications that managed to download and try quickly work, do not brake. In general, everything is done neatly and kindly. The appstore is full of toys and all kinds of applications, for every taste and wallet. Support for the product you need. It is convenient to show presentations (for one or two people) or photos, if you download them in advance with PC or poppy.

This is certainly both cameras not very good riding, but still you can fotkat only if there is nothing else. And so I always have a smartphone with an 8 megapixel camera, so that the camery of the camera on the iPad is not important for me.

It is always there is no exception for all devices and iPad.
1. The presense of the AppStore without Jiberlae will be expensive. (I am without him a student) I just work and study .. After purchasing applications spent 500r. (excluding the Internet) I think this is a bit. Apple expensive accessories. You can: Connect wireless keyboard, Flash drives, camera, plasma .. Only all this is not a girl, keep in mind if you take Apple you should have everything good with finances .. (but it's all if you want to use your iPad 100% I repeat i'm a student 500r invested, For work, studies, Poker money is not necessary. For each paid app There is an alternative to free. It was the only one as if a big drawback.

After buying, I immediately want to buy accessories for the cost of another ipad, and these accessories are affected by dear, the elementary card reader is to think terribly! - 2000 blood rugs. And among the unofficial accessories a lot of fuffers, buy risky.
In the keyboard there is no letter E, that is, it is, but you need to spend your finger in the letter "e" up, it turns out. That is how I printed it 4 times for this review. Quite uncomfortable, especially in the light of the presence of the line and capital b.

1) Dear tablet itself (although not expensive relative to competitors)
2) Madly expensive accessories (I wanted to buy a smart carpet so it is 2500)
3) still relatively little free software, but there is)))

My task is very simple, because there was already an article about the announcement, it was discussed on the forum in order, and I could calmly tell me what I saw by opening a small box. Yesterday you could get acquainted with the iPad 2 closer in the first glance, today a little more details. A little bit because the iPad is not the thing about which you can write the finished and most-most full Overview. Everything depends very much on software, because this tablet turns into gaming console or printed machine precisely thanks additional programs - So think about what kind of improving the device to write. An amazing business, a phenomenon, when consumers give money for a piece of iron, to then break their head on the topic, how to use it. I certainly have an iPad. It turns out a new interesting toy, and it gets out of the door. It is necessary to take something like a presentation - again into battle. Salvation in traffic jams. Library. Sometimes week lies without a case. But without it it is difficult to present my set of the most gadgets for all times.

Other scenarios also occur literally in front of her eyes - buying a man's iPad and does not understand what to do with it. Children take a toy and quickly find what to do (games are full). Or, takes away the girl. It happens. To sit "inactics" or on Facebook. Yes, you never know.

Design, construction

The device resembles iPod Touch, as if they took a lot of "taci", put together, turned out to be the second iPad. Thin, but here more visual debris - rounded areas to some extent hide the true thickness of the device. At first, you take it in hand, and it seems that it is much smaller and easier than the first iPad. To some extent, it is so, but even if you look at the photos, you will see - the difference in size is small. But in the weight there is a difference. The first model weighed 680 grams, the dimensions were 242.8x189.7x13.4 mm. Ipad 2 Weight 601 grams, sizes 241.2x185.88 mm. I repeat, the difference in thickness is not very noticeable.

Comparison with iPad:

The material is the same, grungy aluminum, oleophobic coating appeared on the display. But, given the size of the screen, the prints still remain, and they are well noticeable.

Due to the fact that the ends are bevelled, there is a strange with USB cables. In the photo you can see how the connector is arranged here. So, for some reason only the cable out of the box is suitable, the other device simply does not perceive. Although I did not find any differences. Completed in the kit network adapterFor Russia, it will be, of course, the correct fork.

I dealt with a version in the maximum configuration, Wi-Fi + 3G, memory 64 GB. Includes a clip to extract the SIM card slot, the slot is also not all great, in the first iPad insert it in place was more convenient. Although, it is hardly necessary to do it often.

Interesting the design of the dynamics, perforated area at the bottom of the hull. Compared to the first iPad, the speaker became a little louder, a little better, but no more. And then maybe it seems to me.

Versions with 3G also have a black insert on the top of the housing, the microphone hole is located on it. 3.5 mm connector is also beveled, but there were no problems with various headsets.

For iPad 2, accessories are suitable for the first model, but you need to consider one simple fact, not everything is smooth with the connector, you will definitely have to try additions before purchasing. Covers, if these are simple models, cases, covers are suitable without problems. Apple's new case has not yet seen how it gets into his hands, I will tell you more about this innovation.

The most, in my opinion, an important update is the ability to choose a black or white iPad 2, the color of the frame changes. For example, for girls and boys. Although, if we talk about the iPad for boys, then it is rather the first model - chopped forms, take in your hands, feel the thing and all that.

Display

Display diagonal 9.7 inches, resolution of 1024 x 768 points, impressions only positive. There was some kind of problem with backlit at the bottom - everything was in order on the device under consideration. Excellent viewing angles, the screen is bright, juicy, it is equally well suited for both games and to view page pages. By the way, about these pages. I tried to look youtube videos In our articles, a mistake periodically gets out, something like "you do not have enough rights." It seems to be a simple task, and some problems.

Control

Everything is still, buttons for adjusting the volume and lever on the end, you can program its action in the menu, it is either the sound turning off or disabling the automatic rotation of the image. The button under the display became softer, although it is likely that it only seems to me. The button from above-left remained on the spot, it "pulled out" from the case is convenient.

Touchscreen Magnificent, I have not seen any other tablet, as comfortable in your work.

Cameras

Added cameras on the front and back panels, You can do a lot of things. First, use cameras for FaceTime. The application icon is on the desktop, it is very simple to work with it, the contacts are elementary - without problems. Wi-Fi connection must be connected. See how the program works, you can in our video. Do not wait for the crystal frequency, it certainly. As when working with iPhone 4, it is possible to switch the view from the cameras.

Another program for the pool - PHOTOBOOTH, soon on Facebook and others social networks Surely there will be a lot of profile photos made with its help. The bottom line is that you can choose any funny effect, take a picture - self portrait and immediately send it somewhere.

The camera on the rear panel is not very good, pictures are so-so. The video removes well, resolution of 1280 x 720 points.

Geometrics are supported, focusing on the object you specified.

Food

The stated time of work is about ten o'clock hours when using a browser with a Wi-Fi connection. In any case, the iPad has a good time, so I haven't heard anyone to do it. It seems that the screen is huge, and the processor is now dual-core, but the gadget works for a long time. What can not but rejoice.

CPU

Apple A5 processor with clock frequency 1 GHz, dual-core, but this will not say anything to us, right? The difference can only be seen.

I no longer shoot another roller, about the speed of work - I will have time. But I can say one thing when comparing iPad and iPad 2 face to face on the last much smasher works Safari, for many this is the main tool. Games are run faster. Faster switching between applications, using multitasking. That is, you don't even need to convince yourself - the difference is visible with a naked eye.

For lovers to play, too, a pleasant news, there is now a gyroscope, in the racing it is very cool.

Communications

As you can see, the MTS SIM card was quickly recognized, remind once again - no unlocks for the iPad are not needed. Wi-Fi version looks very attractive for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 owners, for version of iOS. 4.3 The thing appeared entitled "Personal Access Point". I will write about it separately. But, in my opinion, if you take, then take a version with 3G. Unlike the version with Wi-Fi, there is a digital compass (running on Google Maps, for example), AGPS.

You can connect mighty to the TV, another accessory for the device and extra thirty dollars for you. In the sense, you will have to spend on this adapter. It is curious how popular this feature will be, many ipad owners want to connect their tablet to the TV. It would be interesting to hear opinions in the forum.

With connection to access points there are no problems, Bluetooth works with usual or stereo headset no problem.

Memory

Or 16 GB, or 32 GB, or 64 GB, everything is simple here - the more, the better. Serials watch. Or keep music. Who likes what else. By the way, the sound quality compared to the first iPad has not changed, I tried to listen with Monster Turbine, everything is very similar.

conclusions

The following goals have been achieved. All civilized world discusses new tablet Apple. Tablets, such an impression, make only Apple. All the movements of competitors are blocked by a trump card, because any news about Motorola Xoom or Novelties from Samsung overlaps a wave of all about iPad 2.

For the company, I repeat, it was important to consolidate success, and it is absolutely clear, here we do not have a revolution, but evolution, but this is enough to maintain interest. Will iPad 2 demand? Yes. Should I change your first iPad on iPad 2? Only if you need cameras, a smaller body, the speed is in my opinion, all this is not the reason to run the scorch to the store. You can use FaceTime on iPhone 4, the rest is not critical.

But, as practice shows, the arguments of the mind often do not mean anything for the consumer, nothing. We are all children. We all play toys. Only they, sorry for the banality, are more expensive over time. Apple employs real masters of toys that can delight and delight us infinitely - and the excess proof of their skill I personally see how on the palm.

Over the past year, no company presented anything equal to the original iPad. Nothing like that would be nice to take in your hands and did not want to give back.

For Apple another milestone.

For competitors, one more reason to scratch your head.

The author is grateful to the store icases.ru for the iPad 2 provided for test.

You will notice it when you will watch the collection of photos, edit the video in iMovie or include animation in KeyNote.

Battery for active life.
Despite the fact that the iPad became easier and thinner, its battery as before it is withstanding up to 10 hours of operation. This is enough for a flight across the Atlantic, or for a whole night watching movies, or a week of use on the way to work and home. The economy processor A5 and the IOS system do not allow to spend energy, so you can easily go on the road.

Two cameras. Large FaceTime for iPad.
In the iPad housing, two cameras: one on the front panel, the second on the back. They seem tiny, but are actually capable of much. Cameras are designed for video calls in FaceTime, and they work in a pair. You can not only talk to loved ones, but also see how they smile. The front camera allows you to see each other with the interlocutor. If you switch to the back chamber, you can show where you are and what happens around you. If the scene is worthy of attention, turn on the shooting mode on the back camera of the iPad. The camera works in HD format, so each of your videos will become a small masterpiece. And using PHOTO BOOTH you can make funny pictures. This is definitely the most fun application for FACETIME.

Even with weak lighting, for example, in an airplane. And you can keep the iPad as it is convenient for you. It supports vertical and horizontal orientation. Even if you turn the iPad, the picture on the screen will still be displayed correctly. Thanks to IPS technology (in-Plane Switching, plane switching), the viewing angle is 178 °. Expand the screen and show it to the one who is in the other end of the room, or look at it along with a person sitting next to you - will be excellent.

Multi-Touch.
All at hand.
The secret of good technology - it must be completely imperceptible, as if it is not. Multi-Touch technology on the iPad is implemented this way. Any action is performed with fingers, so everything you do is viewing websites, a set of emails, reading books and scrolling photos - it becomes easier and much more interesting. How does this technology work? When you touch the screen with your fingers, it recognizes the touch using electric fields. And then instantly converts your touch, brushing, information of the fingers and scrolling into realistic movements of objects on the screen. All elementary.

Gyro, accelerometer and compass.
iPad feels every movement.
Thanks to the built-in accelerometer, you can rotate the iPad horizontally, vertically, even upside down, and the picture on the screen will still be displayed correctly. In addition to the accelerometer in the iPad 2, a three-axis gyroscope and compass appeared. All of them determine the location of the iPad, its position relative to the Earth and the movement parameters. In games, maps and applications, every turn, slope and movement will now be taken into account. This is a huge step forward for video games. And the beginning of a new era for applications.
