Although Apple made a big splash when it introduced the iPad not long ago, it now offers some upgrades and additional features in its iPad2. The Apple iPad has managed to capture most of the attention in the competitive market of tablet computers. Let’s find out if the original iPad and the iPad2 are really all the different.

Apple is well known all over the world for creating and manufacturing products that are both attractively designed and incredibly lightweight. The one complaint some people had about the original iPad, however, was that it felt bulky for carrying around. The iPad 2, then was created to be thinner and more compactly designed–a real improvement over it’s original version. iPads are supposed to be easy and enjoyable to carry around when you go to the cafe, travel, etc. The iPad 2 weighs less than the original model, and while the difference is only about fifteen percent, even a difference this small is important when you carry something around with you all day. So, with the iPad 2, Apple has succeeded in creating a more compact and portable device.

Multi Touch technology is truly what sets it apart from other devices that are out there. This was introduced with the original iPad and after you get used to it you’ll find it easy to do all sorts of things using just your fingers. You might find, though, that the stylus makes it much easier for you to properly use your iPad. Even though the iPad can’t do a single thing that your smart phone or computer can’t do, the Multi Touch is convenient and makes the iPad far more user friendly and intuitive than you would find your computer while using a touchpad or a mouse.

Like with all of the other Apple products, there are lots of different accessories you can purchase for the iPad 2. One of the most popular of these is the Smart Cover, which serve as both protection and decorations for the device. The covers are lightweight, durable, fix to the iPad magnetically and are available in a wide array of colors. One other extremely popular accessory is the Apple Wireless Keyboard which makes it so much easier to type things into the iPad and allows you to type no matter what screen orientation the iPad currently sits in. Another popular accessory is the Apple Digital AV adapter which attaches your iPad to your HDTV and allows you to watch videos easier. Of course the iPad 2 is pretty expensive so if you would like to buy accessories as well, you’ll need to add them to your final budget pricing.

Think about how you want to use the iPad for before you buy it and decide if it is worth the investment. Many people love their iPads, while those who are disappointed are usually those who expect it to do things it wasn’t really designed for.
