Apple iPad 2 review and full specifications.

Apple iPad 2 is a very stylish, beautiful, slim and powerful tablet. It is arguably the best tablet in the planet, has just received a stylish makeover. Apple's iPad 2 is an easy tablet to review is somewhat of an understatement. It sports latest high-tech features and specifications.

Lets start with the apple ipad's most elite point: The Disign and looks. The design itself has evolved with the edges which are rounded like an Apple iPod Touch. While it looks better and is less bulky, the thinner edges actually make it more difficult to keep a steady hand. There is no question that the iPad 2 looks amazing and feels wonderful in your hands.
The weight has also dropped. At 601g (for the WiFi version) the tablet has shed 15 per cent of its body mass. The size of it is 9.5 x 7.31 x 0.34 inches.
The new ipad 2 has a 1ghz dual core processor with 512 mb RAM which now puts it on a level with all other high-end tablets on the market. Surfing the internet or loading apps is now a lot quicker than the original ipad 1.
The screen is identical to the previous model 9.7 inch IPS screen with 1024 x 768 resolution. It still looks good, though we really would have liked to see a bump in resolution -- if not up to the Retina Display's doubled numbers, then something substantial.
The iPad 2 comes packing the new iOS 4.3 operating system. You get the usual folders, multitasking, Airplay and customisable screens. iTunes Home Sharing, another addition, offers a seamless liberation of your entire music library over Wi-Fi, with one-touch. The new OS also allows you to customise the side switch to either mute the device or lock the screen.
