iPad 2 Sale - Apple finally released the new iPad (previously called as "iPad 3"). Many people are waiting this new iPad simply because they are curious about what would iPad answered many competitor product this day. But in my opinion, iPad 2 sale still the best enough than other similar products to satisfy what people want with its two cameras for Facetime and HD video recording, dual-core A5 chip, 10 hour battery life, all in a thinner lighter design.
What's new on this new iPad? If we look on its body and design, its similar with iPad 2. The difference is on the inside, the new iPad equipped with Quad-core A5X chip, 2048x1536 pixel resolution at 264ppi,iSight camera 5MP with full-HD (1080p) recording and 4G LTE. The other thing is same with iPad 2, so its up to you then whether you choose iPad 2 or the new iPad. But in my opinion, iPad 2 is still capable and powerful enough for our everyday use.

That there is a very modern look with the design resembles a telephone book with the information displayed is complete.
Notebook
Notes that there is a menu on the menu is very similar iPad2 notes on the iPhone or iPad1. Views are simple by design to resemble lined notebook paper. There are also some shortcuts to move from one note to another note, to share notes via email and to remove the existing note. There is nothing special about this menu in our opinion, because the other devices also have the same look and features.
Maps
Menu Maps become one of the advantages iPad2. In addition to its screen size is quite big so it easier for you to view the navigation. GPS Lock is quite fast as we test its performance was satisfactory and there are no significant obstacles when searching the location and navigation.
Movies
Movies on the menu served to watch your favorite video and view that there is quite simple and there is something special menu. We have tried one of our video collection with the type Mp4 720p HD quality. Video can be run very smoothly. The resulting image quality is very good and feels better than its predecessor iPad1. But we think the resulting sound is not loud enough even though the quality is quite clear and obvious. Unfortunately at the time of last review we did not have a chance to compare it directly with iPad1.
Youtube
Like watching a video, especially through Youtube? You will feel very satisfied to watch Youtube videos through iPad2. Your eyes will be pampered with a large screen size iPad2 and picture and sound quality is quite satisfactory. There are some shortcuts on the main menu you can view Youtube videos by category Featured, Top Rated, Most Viewed, Favorites, Subscriptions, My Videos and History.

And there is a menu at the top of the filter or filtering through Category, Release Date, Customer Rating, Price, Device.

Face Time
New features that are not owned by the predecessor iPad1. Face Time is the video call feature via WiFi networks. You can contact your friends who also use Face Time via Email or phone numbers and vice versa.
Camera
The best camera is an improvement in quality unfortunately iPad2 either front or rear camera resolution is mediocre. The results of indoor cameras especially when less light is less sharp. Which is embedded behind the camera only 0.7 MP resolution and a front camera is only VGA resolution. You can see the results of indoor and outdoor cameras in the photo gallery below.
Video camera recordings of iPad2 quite clear and the sound is captured by the microphone is quite clear and firm. Pretty good considering the resolution of only 0.7 MP camera. Video camera capable of recording iPad2 claimed by the quality of 720p @ 30fps.
Photo Booth
Photo booths are a feature of the camera to take pictures and give effect iPad2. There are 9 available effects include Thermal Camera, Mirror, X-Ray, Kaleidoscope, Normal, Light Tunnel, Squeeze, Twirl and Stretch.
Connectivity
Apple iPad 2 has GSM and HSDPA network but can not make calls, sms and mms. Other connectivity available are GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and USB 2.0. Unfortunately Bluetooth is contained in the iPad2 not to make sharing data with other devices (need a third party application), only to connect A2DP it.
Browser
IPad 2 is the Safari browser on. After we tested Safari can only open tab to a maximum of 9 pages. Quite a lot, but still less when compared to such Iconia Android Tablet that can open tab to a maximum of 16 pages. Safari on iPad2 performance is very smooth, smooth and fast. Equipped with Pinch Zoom feature or Multitouch. But with the support of a 9.7 "convenience when browsing then becomes more perfect.
Third-Party Applications
Angry Birds Rio HD: we had the test-playing game. And overall performance is very smooth and refined iPad2, graphic screen display is very nice. There are no significant obstacles when we do testing and review.
Battery Life
With the standard battery Li-Po 6930 mAh iPad 2 pretty good endurance. Although already using 900MHz dual core processor and big screen but the battery consumption on iPad 2 quite economical. When we do a review from morning to evening the battery is only reduced by about 20-25%. With normal usage we expect at least able to survive this iPad 2 2x24 hours ranging from 100% to low battery position.
Conclusion
The first impression on the iPad2 is a lightweight, fast and smooth. Overall performance of IOS 5 iPad2 with absolutely no significant problems, no bugs or other deficiencies are found, all went very smoothly, fast and smooth thanks to the 900MHz dual core processor support and IOS 5. In terms of iPad 2 design looks elegant and minimalist, a mix of colors and thinness make Apple iPad 2 more sexy, especially light weight and comfortable enough to play in the long term, trouble-making quality products Apple has no doubt. Battery life is quite good although the intensity of usage is quite active. It's just a little short is coming from the Speaker Output are the lower left corner on the back of the iPad2 is just a lack of power and so the sound coming out is not hard enough. But the shortage is covered with crystal clear sound quality and iPad 2 price become more cheaper this day.
