Apple iPad 2 User Guide

Apple iPad 2 User Guide - Hello our readers, today we are back with the review and the user manual from Aplle iPad 2. According to t3.com, In 2010, almost twelve months ago, the Apple iPad swaggered onto the stage and changed the way we viewed tablet computers forever. In the year that followed, it won Gadget of the Year at the T3 Awards 2010 and garnered a place on the tech world's exclusive hall of fame.  This 'post PC' device single-handedly re-shaped our expectations on how we wish to receive content and has potentially rejuvinated the entire publishing industry. With several newspapers and magazines, including T3, jumping on the iPad waggon, it seems the world of print could meet its fate earlier than expected.

Now, as competitors from the Android, RIM, with its BlackBerry Playbook, and WebOS, tug on its cape, eager to fly alongside the iPad, Apple is back with an improved device offering a streamlined design and more power. All for the same price. Can the Apple iPad 2 pull further away from the chasing pack, and does it do enough to tempt first-generation owners into an upgrade? T3 tested the 32GB WiFi version to find out.

Lifting the iPad 2 out of the box, you almost feel like you’re handling Grandma’s fine china - such is the skinniness of the 8.8mm frame. Remarkably though, the tablet retains a very sturdy feel. It’s not the least bit fragile and there’s zero flexibility. It’s a piece of engineering that defies physics. The weight has also dropped. At 601g (for the WiFi version) the tablet has shed 15 per cent of its body mass. Big deal, you say, but you will notice the difference. It’s still not Kindle-light though, and we still found the one-handed grip uncomfortable.

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. You also have to adopt an awkward reach-around approach to access the volume and screen switches.
