and purchase the iPad 2, this review is for you. If you're still
debating between the iPad 1 and the iPad 2 check out my review of the
first generation iPad right here on Amazon to see a discussion of its
strengths and weaknesses with a number of people commenting (both
positively and negatively) over the past 11 months.<br /><br />Let me begin
by saying this upfront, I don't work for Apple, I don't own Apple Stock,
and whether you buy an iPad, Xoom, a laptop or a pad of paper and
pencil I don't get anything for writing this. I'm not an Apple "fanboy"
although I can give credit where credit is due and lately Apple has
deserved a lot of credit for some of their products.<br /><br />Physical Characteristics<br />The
iPad 2 is absurdly thin. More importantly than it's thinness is its
tapered edge which feels more natural in your hand. One of the biggest
complaints about the original iPad was it really wasn't tremendously
comfortable to hold for long periods at a time. For a tablet device
designed to be held, that's a pretty big deal. Apple really has done an
amazing job of cramming everything into an even smaller space than
before and the difference is really noticeable when you're holding the
device. In addition to the tapered edge, Apple managed to reduce the
overall weight of the iPad 2. That might not seem like a huge deal to
most, especially when you consider the weight difference isn't
tremendous when you're already under 2 pounds, but I spend a good part
of my day holding the iPad in my hands and the weight difference is
surprising by the end of the day. The first generation isn't heavy by
any means, but the iPad 2 outshines it.<br /><br />New and "Improved"<br />Apple
doubled the RAM in the iPad 2 from 256MB to 512MB. What does that mean?
For most casual users, probably not a whole lot. There is a performance
bump that everyone will see the effects of in things like loading times
for webpages that are open in the background, but 256MB was sufficient
for most daily use and games. If you're planning to use your device for
some of the more graphically intense games the iPad 2 does offer a
better method of graphics processing that'll help deliver faster images
with fewer jerky movements. If you're just playing Angry birds and
reading e-mail you're not going to know the difference.<br /><br />The
screen is the same for all real purposes. It is technically a "new" part
in that it isn't identical to the old, it's a bit thinner and more
efficient, but it's the same resolution. The Glass is thinner though,
and this amounts to a fair bit of the weight loss from one generation to
the next. In playing with the device it seems surprising but despite
feeling lighter it actually feels more sturdy in your hands. I still
wouldn't suggest dropping it, but if it were to fall the iPad 2
certainly feels like it might stand a better chance to survive. Try not
to drop it though.<br /><br />The addition of 2 cameras was expected. Some
were a bit surprised to see the first generation released without the
cameras. Whether it was for a price point consideration, or a means to
get people to upgrade, Apple held off until iPad 2. The cameras do a
reasonable job, but they're not going to replace a dedicated digital
camera, or really even the camera on your phone for most still images.
The cameras do a substantially better job with video, and FaceTime is
probably one of the best reasons to get the iPad 2 over the original
iPad. For those who might not be familiar, FaceTime is Apple's face to
face conferencing system, kind of like Skype, or if you'd rather, kind
of like the Jetson's TV/Phone. With the push of a button you can be
having a face to face chat with a loved one just about anywhere in the
world (provided they're on a wireless network at the time). FaceTime
doesn't work over 3G natively (it can be used over a wifi connection
created by a 3G device however) so you're not going to be able to use it
in your car anytime soon. This is probably a good thing though. It is
incredibly easy to use and if you know other people with an iPad 2,
iPhone 4, or Mac it's a lot of fun.<br /><br />Smart Covers aren't really
"smart" but they're really very useful. Not only do they provide a
stylistic enhancement of the device, but they serve a practical and
functional purpose of doubling as a screen protector and stand in 2
configurations. You can find them in a variety of colors and from third
market suppliers, and it's a safe bet that more will be out soon to
capitalize on the magnetic sensors in the iPad 2. It's unfortunate that
this same feature can't somehow be retrofitted to the iPad 1, I wouldn't
have thought a case would be a compelling reason to consider a product
over it's competitor, but these covers are really so useful it's hard to
understand why they've not been there since the beginning.<br /><br />Multitasking Support<br />One
of the biggest knocks against the iPad when first released was the lack
of native multi-tasking support. Jailbreakers added the feature quickly
and Apple soon realized it would be a requirement for any future
device's success and released an OS update that included the feature.
The iPad 2 capitalizes on that progress and takes it a step further with
the increased RAM enabling more open applications to be suspended at
once, and the time to open or close an application has improved as well.
That said, even the first generation managed to open and close apps
faster than most people would be used to on their computers, so while
this is an improvement it's more akin to showing off.<br /><br />Apps<br />One
thing that Apple has clearly the advantage in for the moment is app
availability. The App store has close to 70,000 iPad specific Apps, all
of which will work on the iPad 2. The new cameras will undoubtedly see
this list expand rapidly, as will the inclusion of a gyroscope for
gaming and motion based uses. There are also a substantial number of
professional applications ranging from document creation to photo
editing and vector drawing. Chances are if you can dream it, there's an
App for that (and if not you might want to get started on one to fill in
the gap). The Android market is making a strong showing, and ultimately
it'll likely be a strong competitor, for now it still has a ways to go,
but any potential buyer should consider the strength of the application
market before buying a tablet.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Weight. Seriously. The
minimal weight of this thing is by far the most impressive feature about
it in my opinion. It seems to defy physics and logic that so much could
be in such a small space working that hard for that long.<br /><br />Battery
Life. From full to dead my iPad 2 went just over 11 hours with the
movie Robin Hood showing twice during that time, the screen at half
brightness, wifi turned on, an Angry Birds marathon and a good portion
of a book in ibook. That's better than a work day and that's constantly
on.<br /><br />Books. This is definitely a Pro, but reading itself could go
either way. The great benefit to the iPad is having access to Google
Books, ibook, Nook, and Kindle. This allows for some comparison shopping
and price competition (although for the most part they're all usually
about the same). Reading in the evenings in bed is great as the back
light means you don't have to worry about keeping others awake, but the
glass screen causes some glare trouble when trying to read outside or
near a sunny window. If you're an avid outdoor reader the Kindle might
still be your best bet.<br /><br />Cons:<br />Still no dedicated USB support.
While there is a camera add-on that allows for certain USB devices to be
used there is no option for mass storage. Some of the Android Tablets
allow for this and if you find yourself wanting to use your tablet as a
standalone storage device this might be something to consider. The
device can read from certain flash drives though, but is largely limited
to photo and video files. Jailbreaks offer solutions to this, but those
come with their own issues as well.<br /><br />Still no dedicated SD card
slot. This is troublesome on two fronts. First, if you want to import
pictures from your camera you have to have an adapter which is just one
more thing to carry around. Second, the lack of expansion means you're
limited to what you purchase in terms of storage. I purchased a 32GB
iPad last time and never filled it up completely, so for me capacity
wasn't an issue. If you want to be able to have your entire movie
collection with you though... you may want to consider whether the iPad 2
can meet your space requirements.<br /><br />HDMI output. Really this is a
Pro and a Con. The iPad does allow for HD output over HDMI but again it
requires an adapter. All of these adapters are additional purchases for
features that some tablets offer built in. This can be a pain, but then
again if you're not likely to ever use HDMI Output then you're not
paying for something you won't use.<br /><br />No Flash Support. This is
becoming less and less of an issue as the internet and web developers
are moving away from Flash for many websites, but there are a lot still
out there relying on Adobe's Flash to run properly (including a lot of
web based games). Before you pick a tablet consider what kind of
websites you frequent and try and determine if they are Flash driven or
not. If they are you may really want to consider something from the
Android offerings as it is expected that they'll have at least some
Flash support.<br /><br />If you're in the market for a tablet device the
iPad 2 should definitely be on your short list. If you're uncertain it
is always best to go and play with these things hands on first if you
can. Best Buy is a good place for that, so are Verizon Stores since they
have the Xoom and 3G iPad. Don't get pulled into the hype and mania
that comes with an Apple release. They're exciting and...

After using it for a bit, I took it back to the Apple store and the 'Genius' told me that because I was on t-mobile and the phone didn't sense AT&T or Verizon, that MMS and Facetime would not work on the phone. That kinda defeats the purpose of an unlocked iphone. My Blackberry would send MMS on my old blackberry no problem so this is just Apple being annoying and trying to force me into a expensive phone plan. If anyone has any tips other than jailbreaking to get this to work, please let me know. I feel ripped off.prayadsa@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12559163840255298620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238782836535353367.post-69567113890625161262011-08-03T23:26:00.000-07:002011-08-03T23:26:02.570-07:00iphone4g review by krlosItem came really fast. I just insert my microSIM and THAT's IT!!! It worked right away.<br />
<br />
This phone has a extreme clear and beautiful screen. Is fast and has a lot of applications/games. Came with iOS 4.3.3 so I was able to jailbreak.<br />
<br />
By doing so, you'll be able to do a lot of customization to improve your iPhone experience. Please try: Action Menu, Activator, Celeste, Auto3G, Facebreak, FastSnap, FlashLock, LockDown, Multiflow, TetherMe, etc<br />
<br />

I unwrapped it , plugged in itunes and stuck in my micro sim and the product worked great. I used facetime for the first time tonight and it was obvious that this Apple product is lightyears ahead of any Phone or OS I have used on any other smartphone. I have no dropped calls and absolutely not even one single problem. I will admit that it seems the battery reduces at about the rate of any laptop (Mac of course) when using power hungry apps but apart from that I am so happy I bought this phone, if only everything could be this simple. Well done Apple, well done.prayadsa@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12559163840255298620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238782836535353367.post-11289771888903585742011-08-03T23:23:00.000-07:002011-08-03T23:23:13.048-07:00iphone4g review by sharooFor the last 2 years I have been carrying a cell phone, an iPad Touch, an iPad Shuffle, and (when I thought I would need it) a camera. I was waiting for a device that would do it all in one, but without forcing me into an unwanted 2-year cell phone contract (I use an AT&T prepaid GoPhone account). The iPhone 4 is that device. For the most part, I adore my new iPhone. Only the substandard built-in software keeps it from being a 5-star product, IMHO. More on that later.<br />
<br />
When I was reading reviews before my purchase I wanted to know if "factory unlocked" really meant what it said. Yes, I would have to say that it does. This was clearly a brand-new phone in factory packaging, not a phone that had been unlocked illegally. On the down side, because it had been packaged for the UK market, it came with a British-style plug on the wall charger! This didn't matter to me because I always charge my device from my computer, but the vendor should have mentioned it.<br />
<br />
The important part was whether it was really mine to do with as I pleased. I took the AT&T SIM card out of my old Motorola phone, cut it down to size with a SIM cutter, and popped it into the iPhone. When connected to a computer running iTunes, the phone immediately started working with my same old phone number. It was that simple.<br />
<br />
So now I have a $750 phone with a $100/year prepaid phone plan. But that's not as silly as it sounds, because I also have the following:<br />
<br />
1) The world's best PDA. The high-resolution screen is so beautiful that I just want to sit and stare at it. The built-in apps are pretty lame, but the unbelievable bounty that is the iTunes app store more than makes up for that.<br />
<br />
2) An astoundingly good camera. At 5MPs I expected it to be barely adequate as a camera, but I think it takes better pictures than my 10MPs point-and-shoot. Whatever it uses for a light meter is miles ahead of any camera I have ever owned. It takes the best low-light pictures I have ever seen, and when the flash IS needed it is never too bright. I love being able to operate the flash control, auto-focus point, and digital zoom right on the touch screen. The HDR feature is subtle, but amazing. And the 3rd-party apps (many of them free) - just SOOO much fun. This is not a professional quality camera, of course, but it just might be all the casual camera you will ever need.<br />
<br />
3) An Internet connection device. Because I don't have a real phone plan, I mostly use wi-fi for my networking needs. But I also have a limited 3G data plan as a backup if I'm not in wifi range. Getting a prepaid data plan to work is a little tricky. You have to set the APN, and neither AT&T nor Apple will tell you how to do this. It's easy, though - just google it.<br />
<br />
4) An OK music machine. It works as well as any iPod, but at 16GB it doesn't have the capacity to hold my whole music collection. If I'm just going to load music temporarily for on-the-go use I prefer my little Shuffle. If there were some way to pause the music on the iPhone with a single button press I would find it much more usable as an iPod.<br />
<br />
5) An adequate phone. Honestly, the weakest function on the iPhone is the phone. The shape is awkward for a telephone and the sound is nothing to brag about. On the other hand, I have not had any problems with dropped calls or weak signal. I like the big lighted virtual buttons, and the fact that it integrates with my main address book. Mainly, as an infrequent cell phone user at best, I like the fact that I have a cell phone if I need it without having to carry an additional device.<br />
<br />
6) A bright, directional LED flashlight. The LED bulb used for the new camera flash also works as a nifty little flashlight! How cool is that? Apple did not see fit to include a flashlight app as a built-in, so the first thing the new user should do is download the excellent free iLED Flashlight app.<br />
<br />
7) A surprisingly effective eBook reader. Sure the screen is small but the resolution is so exquisite that you really can read on it. I read "Moby Dick" on my iTouch, and the screen resolution is even better on this device.<br />
<br />
Downside - the built in apps are TERRIBLE. The contacts manager, notepad and calendar are primitive. There is no standard way to backup/restore application data, even for built-in apps. The built-in photo manager is jaw-droppingly bad. All pictures taken with the iPhone camera go into one huge folder called "Camera Roll." They can't be moved into sub-folders, renamed, sorted, or rotated if the orientation ends up backwards (which occasionally happens). And what excuse can there be for not including a flashlight app to go with the new LED light?<br />
<br />
Fortunately, I had been through this with my iTouch, so I already had a nice set of apps for managing lists, contacts, appointments, recipes and so on. However, it took me a couple of weeks of experimentation and research, plus a small outlay of money for paid apps, to turn the magnificent iPhone4 camera hardware into a device that really can be used as a camera substitute. In short, the iPhone 4 is a device that is good but not great right out of the box. But if you are willing and able to spend a little time installing apps, it can be massively customized to make it the best electronic friend you ever had.prayadsa@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12559163840255298620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238782836535353367.post-77973561302229649642011-08-03T23:01:00.001-07:002011-08-03T23:01:54.550-07:00iPad pros and cons by Larry J. CrockettPeople need to be aware that the reviews you see for the iPad often reflect the old Mac/PC platform wars with some people making comments who simply don't like iPads from a distance, without actually owning one, because they see it as part of the deplorable Apple mania they find so distasteful. They're entitled to their opinion, of course, but it is unfortunate they skew the evaluation of this product without the deep acquaintance one needs in order to give it an insightful evaluation.<br />
<br />
I have taught computer science at the college level for 26 years and have had computers with all kinds of operating systems. I don't own Apple stock and have never known anyone who works at Apple. I therefore have no connection to Apple.<br />
<br />
I have had my iPad for about a month and read a fair number of reviews before I purchased, spent some time using one at the store, and thought about what I might use one for, in contrast to my laptop with which I am well satisfied. People too often think of computers in terms of hardware, the specs and looks, instead of the software and the functionality. You should ask yourself, "What will I use this for that solves a problem I would like to have solved?" Software is always more important than hardware, even though it is the hardware that makes an impression.<br />
<br />
The iPad is not a laptop and is not principally a production computer, that is, a computer on which you are going to develop web pages, do serious graphics editing, or write a book. You could use your new Taurus to tow a trailer, but that is not what it is designed to do well. These things can increasingly be done on an iPad, but I don't believe they will ever be what it is best at. It is a portable media machine with an inviting touch interface that requires a somewhat different set of skills, which take a modest amount of time to learn. Surfing the web, checking email, watching movies, playing games, looking at new cars, reading the Economist magazine, all work better on an iPad than a laptop. It does these things very well indeed. There are now 80,000 apps for a wide variety of activities--given its design intent. The apps are either free or reasonably priced, so you can get a bunch from the "app store" for little investment. As with Amazon, you can see what other people think of an app before getting one.<br />
<br />
This would be a splendid acquisition for small children, for teens deep into social networking, for an adult wanting to drop into the love seat for a quick look at what is happening in the world, for a senior citizen who wants a simple, inviting system with few hassles, to stay in touch with grandchildren. The iPad is not a light laptop; it is instead a different way to use computing to do a wide variety of consumption and communication--not principally production.<br />
<br />
In my experience, its wi-fi is adroit from one environment to another. It "knows" where it is geographically, scans its environment for wi-fi, and accesses wi-fi seemlessly. At this point in time, we should expect no less. I cannot address the 3G communications since I have a wi-fi only (I am not convinced of the value of the 3G and I can use my phone as a hotspot). I have never had it crash, though I have had to back myself out of apps that seemed to have no logical next step. This was the result either of my ignorance or the fact that there is less of a standard user interface from app to app than there is in classical GUIs such as OS X and Windows.<br />
<br />
For the laptop lugging road-warrior, it should be noted, this is not going to be a full replacement. I now take my laptop and my iPad when I go into the college. But much of the time there, I use my iPad because it is so light, convenient and useable. I use it to teach my classes and often reference traditional texts from the iPad instead of lugging them along to class. I develop my own web pages on my 27" desktop which is the right environment for such development; I wouldn't expect to do that on an iPad. In education (and evidently in medicine), it is proving to be a real boon. The enterprise situations where portable information access and transmission are critical will find this a compelling solution. The heavy Photoshop user or music track editor will still need a conventional computer, either laptop or desktop.<br />
<br />
I purchased the 64GB version, which may be more storage than I need. But since it will drive my 50" screen downstairs I figured I would begin to load lots of pictures and favored music, so it may prove a wise choice in the long run. It can swallow up entire evenings with the music-augmented slide shows it can do. In fact, you may begin to wonder if you need cable TV. Conventional content providers should be worried about the iPad since it provides yet another way for the user to determine viewing experience. But if you are still drawn to cable, it makes a fine remote control.<br />
<br />
Before people evaluate this new kind of computing, they need to spend a month or so with it to identify what it does well and what would be better left to other kinds of computing solutions. I fear some of the evaluations here (both glowing and critical) are not well informed and so do not serve the readers well. So read these reviews with a critical eye.prayadsa@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12559163840255298620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238782836535353367.post-68622198462970628252011-08-03T22:19:00.000-07:002011-08-03T22:19:19.066-07:00Comparison of my IPad 2 with my Xoom by AstieI have purchased both an iPad2 and Xoom for different family members. I thought it worth comparing the two devices for anyone interested. Many of my comments are subjective so bear that in mind when reading the review.<br />
<br />
External appearance and feel:<br />
The iPad2 screen has a different feel from the Xoom screen - the iPad2 is a bit slicker, less likely to stick when moving short distances. The screen on the Xoom tends to show fingerprints more than the Ipad2 for some reason. Everyone in this family thinks that the iPad2 looks sharper than the Xoom.<br />
<br />
Both weigh 1.6 lbs. Subjectively, the Xoom feels heavier than the Ipad2, but it's an illusion perhaps caused by it's slightly smaller size. UPDATE: I need to learn to use the scales - the Xoom is about 3 ounces heavier than the iPad2.<br />
<br />
Both have a similar size screen, measured diagonally. But the aspect ratio is different - 4:3 for iPad2, 16:9 for Xoom. This means that the iPad2 actually has a larger viewing area, and this makes a real difference when scrolling through a web site. The iPad2 screen is brighter than the Xoom screen.<br />
<br />
Hardware performance:<br />
The Xoom feels a bit faster than the iPad2, and the specs show that it is faster. Both have dual core processors based on ARM designs. The Xoom seems to be able to handle graphics better than the iPad2. As far as connecting to Wifi networks, both seem to have this one down pat - they both just work.<br />
<br />
User Interface:<br />
The iPad2 is just like a big iPhone. Whether this good or bad is subjective. For me, it's good - polished, flexible and can be customized to my needs. The Xoom user interface is totally new, and unfortunately it shows - there are many rough edges. Some examples: moving icons around to group programs together is not intuitive and they keep moving back; you can see the first 5 applications running on the Xoom and select one, but the list doesn't scroll so applications that don't show in the list can't be selected; you can't close applications (except by a force quit that can lose data) as the Xoom decides when to quit an application; customization is possible but more difficult than the iPad2. In short, the Xoom user interface is a work in progress - great potential but currently quite flawed.<br />
<br />
Operating System:<br />
The iPad2 uses Apple's IOS. It works, but it uses cooperative multitasking which (in theory) is less effective than the full multitasking on the Xoom which uses a version of Google's Android designed for tablets. In practice, they both work fine and I doubt anyone would notice the difference.<br />
<br />
Applications:<br />
iPad2 has 70,000 apps available from the Apple App store and it also runs the 300,000 apps available for the iPhone. Xoom currently has around 60 apps and it can run Android phone apps (but they are stretched in one direction which makes them look strange). Some of the iPad2 applications are pretty impressive - GarageBand for example. There are many games on the iPad2, and just a few games made for the Xoom. If this doesn't improve quickly, the Xoom is sunk. After all, applications are generally the reason people buy these devices.<br />
<br />
Browsing:<br />
Because of the screen aspect ratio that I mentioned, I prefer browsing on the iPad2. The Xoom has Adobe Flash and the iPad2 doesn't, but so far I haven't come across a single instance where this has been an issue. I'm sure there are very many sites not compatible with iPad2, but I haven't browsed to one of them yet.<br />
<br />
Camera:<br />
I don't use the camera much, and I'm not really sure if either is better. In the family, the Xoom owner says the Xoom is better, the iPad2 owner says the iPad2. The Xoom has flash and iPad2 doesn't which is a win for Xoom, but the Xoom seems slower to take a picture.<br />
<br />
Speakers:<br />
The Xoom has two small speakers, iPad2 has one slightly larger speaker. The sound is somewhat better quality on the iPad2 and the Xoom cannot achieve the same volume as the iPad2. But they are both pretty poor - use earphones or an external speaker if you want decent audio.<br />
<br />
Battery life:<br />
Difficult for me to give an exact comparison, but based on family usage it seems the iPad2 has the edge here, but not by much.<br />
<br />
Internal storage:<br />
The Xoom has 1GB of RAM and 32 GB of flash storage. The iPad2 has 512MB of RAM and 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of flash storage - I bought the 64GB model.<br />
<br />
External storage:<br />
The Xoom has an external card slot that supports SD cards, but the software was not ready in time for the product release. The slot is inoperative until Motorola releases an operating system update. The iPad2 has no external storage support.<br />
<br />
User Experience:<br />
The iPad2 was up and running quite quickly. I connected the device to iTunes and it automatically updated to the latest version of the operating system. I was then able to select and download Apps immediately and start using them.<br />
<br />
The Xoom was not so easy. For some reason, I was not able to install the latest version of Google Maps or Adobe Flash. I was able to download the apps, and the install process appeared to work without errors, but the new apps just were not installed. After some time trying I finally returned the Xoom back to the factory settings and started again, and this time both the installs worked. Of course, this wouldn't be a good solution if you had a ton of applications and/or data on the device.<br />
<br />
Support:<br />
Apple has their retail stores. You can get a huge amount of help from these stores from people whose only job is to support users. Both iPad2 and Xoom users have web sites available that support their products but you have to spend the time digging for the sites and digging through the sites. You can also purchase an Applecare support package which gives you a couple of years extra support for the iPad2.<br />
<br />
Bottom line:<br />
I believe the Xoom hardware may be slightly better than the iPad2 (apart from the screen aspect ratio and the speakers), but the software is terribly lacking. The Xoom was released FAR too early, it's just not ready for primetime.<br />
<br />
If I had to pick just one, I'd pick the iPad2 - less hassle, apps for everything, better browsing experience, better support options. The Xoom needs less buggy software and more applications; it has potential but it's not there yet. And by the time it gets there, there will be something better available.<br />
<br />
<br />
Update 7/5/2011<br />
<br />
We have now had the two devices for over 3 months. During that time Motorola released an update to fix some of the issues with the original Xoom. It's somewhat faster, the problem of only seeing the first 5 applications is fixed, there are some extra capabilities for USB, and most importantly, the Xoom doesn't crash every few hours.<br />
<br />
However, the biggest issue with the Xoom is still the number of applications available to run in native tablet mode, as opposed to running Android phone applications. I've read that there are 300 applications available, but it's hard to find them. The Android Market doesn't distinguish between phone applications designed for a small screen and tablet applications. You have to read the description of each application to see what it is designed to run on, and finding 300 apps in 200,000 is very time consuming. Apple claims to have 100,000 iPad specific apps in their store.<br />
<br />
Another problem with the Android Market is the complete lack of supervision. I understand that anybody can put any application there without any review, and I've read there have been a few problems with malware. Recently I saw an article that claimed there are spyware applications on the store, which worries me a little. I'm not saying you can't get malware from the Apple store, but Apple does look at the apps first - I'm not aware of any malware getting into the Apple store.<br />
<br />
The iPad2 does have some downsides I wasn't aware of when I wrote my review. It would be nice to have a general purpose USB connection and a card slot. There is an extra-cost adapter available from Apple that supplies HDMI out and a limited function USB connector. Also the keyboard attachment made for the original iPad doesn't work on the iPad2.<br />
<br />
For us, the iPad2 is the winner. The Xoom is sitting on a shelf and I don't think it's been used over a week now. In contrast, iPad2 is in use every day and continues to be a big hit. The primary problem with the Xoom is the lack of tablet-based applications.<br />
<br />
<br />
Update 7/7/2011<br />
<br />
The Xoom has been sold to a colleague who wants an Android tablet. I think the Xoom is better than most of the Android tablets currently available. However, the Honeycomb software feels so unfinished, and the paucity of available tablet-based applications was a major issue. I lost several hundred dollars on the sale, but nobody wanted to use it and there was no point in letting it lay around unused. I'm already under some pressure to buy another iPad2, but I want to wait to see if the rumors of another iPad version in September are true.prayadsa@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12559163840255298620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238782836535353367.post-71077990061206799242011-08-03T22:17:00.000-07:002011-08-03T22:17:50.326-07:00ipad2 review by Craig WhisenhuntFor anyone out there who is considering whether or not to make the leap and purchase the iPad 2, this review is for you. If you're still debating between the iPad 1 and the iPad 2 check out my review of the first generation iPad right here on Amazon to see a discussion of its strengths and weaknesses with a number of people commenting (both positively and negatively) over the past 11 months.<br />
<br />
Let me begin by saying this upfront, I don't work for Apple, I don't own Apple Stock, and whether you buy an iPad, Xoom, a laptop or a pad of paper and pencil I don't get anything for writing this. I'm not an Apple "fanboy" although I can give credit where credit is due and lately Apple has deserved a lot of credit for some of their products.<br />
<br />
Physical Characteristics<br />
The iPad 2 is absurdly thin. More importantly than it's thinness is its tapered edge which feels more natural in your hand. One of the biggest complaints about the original iPad was it really wasn't tremendously comfortable to hold for long periods at a time. For a tablet device designed to be held, that's a pretty big deal. Apple really has done an amazing job of cramming everything into an even smaller space than before and the difference is really noticeable when you're holding the device. In addition to the tapered edge, Apple managed to reduce the overall weight of the iPad 2. That might not seem like a huge deal to most, especially when you consider the weight difference isn't tremendous when you're already under 2 pounds, but I spend a good part of my day holding the iPad in my hands and the weight difference is surprising by the end of the day. The first generation isn't heavy by any means, but the iPad 2 outshines it.<br />
<br />
New and "Improved"<br />
Apple doubled the RAM in the iPad 2 from 256MB to 512MB. What does that mean? For most casual users, probably not a whole lot. There is a performance bump that everyone will see the effects of in things like loading times for webpages that are open in the background, but 256MB was sufficient for most daily use and games. If you're planning to use your device for some of the more graphically intense games the iPad 2 does offer a better method of graphics processing that'll help deliver faster images with fewer jerky movements. If you're just playing Angry birds and reading e-mail you're not going to know the difference.<br />
<br />
The screen is the same for all real purposes. It is technically a "new" part in that it isn't identical to the old, it's a bit thinner and more efficient, but it's the same resolution. The Glass is thinner though, and this amounts to a fair bit of the weight loss from one generation to the next. In playing with the device it seems surprising but despite feeling lighter it actually feels more sturdy in your hands. I still wouldn't suggest dropping it, but if it were to fall the iPad 2 certainly feels like it might stand a better chance to survive. Try not to drop it though.<br />
<br />
The addition of 2 cameras was expected. Some were a bit surprised to see the first generation released without the cameras. Whether it was for a price point consideration, or a means to get people to upgrade, Apple held off until iPad 2. The cameras do a reasonable job, but they're not going to replace a dedicated digital camera, or really even the camera on your phone for most still images. The cameras do a substantially better job with video, and FaceTime is probably one of the best reasons to get the iPad 2 over the original iPad. For those who might not be familiar, FaceTime is Apple's face to face conferencing system, kind of like Skype, or if you'd rather, kind of like the Jetson's TV/Phone. With the push of a button you can be having a face to face chat with a loved one just about anywhere in the world (provided they're on a wireless network at the time). FaceTime doesn't work over 3G natively (it can be used over a wifi connection created by a 3G device however) so you're not going to be able to use it in your car anytime soon. This is probably a good thing though. It is incredibly easy to use and if you know other people with an iPad 2, iPhone 4, or Mac it's a lot of fun.<br />
<br />
Smart Covers aren't really "smart" but they're really very useful. Not only do they provide a stylistic enhancement of the device, but they serve a practical and functional purpose of doubling as a screen protector and stand in 2 configurations. You can find them in a variety of colors and from third market suppliers, and it's a safe bet that more will be out soon to capitalize on the magnetic sensors in the iPad 2. It's unfortunate that this same feature can't somehow be retrofitted to the iPad 1, I wouldn't have thought a case would be a compelling reason to consider a product over it's competitor, but these covers are really so useful it's hard to understand why they've not been there since the beginning.<br />
<br />
Multitasking Support<br />
One of the biggest knocks against the iPad when first released was the lack of native multi-tasking support. Jailbreakers added the feature quickly and Apple soon realized it would be a requirement for any future device's success and released an OS update that included the feature. The iPad 2 capitalizes on that progress and takes it a step further with the increased RAM enabling more open applications to be suspended at once, and the time to open or close an application has improved as well. That said, even the first generation managed to open and close apps faster than most people would be used to on their computers, so while this is an improvement it's more akin to showing off.<br />
<br />
Apps<br />
One thing that Apple has clearly the advantage in for the moment is app availability. The App store has close to 70,000 iPad specific Apps, all of which will work on the iPad 2. The new cameras will undoubtedly see this list expand rapidly, as will the inclusion of a gyroscope for gaming and motion based uses. There are also a substantial number of professional applications ranging from document creation to photo editing and vector drawing. Chances are if you can dream it, there's an App for that (and if not you might want to get started on one to fill in the gap). The Android market is making a strong showing, and ultimately it'll likely be a strong competitor, for now it still has a ways to go, but any potential buyer should consider the strength of the application market before buying a tablet.<br />
<br />
Pros:<br />
Weight. Seriously. The minimal weight of this thing is by far the most impressive feature about it in my opinion. It seems to defy physics and logic that so much could be in such a small space working that hard for that long.<br />
<br />
Battery Life. From full to dead my iPad 2 went just over 11 hours with the movie Robin Hood showing twice during that time, the screen at half brightness, wifi turned on, an Angry Birds marathon and a good portion of a book in ibook. That's better than a work day and that's constantly on.<br />
<br />
Books. This is definitely a Pro, but reading itself could go either way. The great benefit to the iPad is having access to Google Books, ibook, Nook, and Kindle. This allows for some comparison shopping and price competition (although for the most part they're all usually about the same). Reading in the evenings in bed is great as the back light means you don't have to worry about keeping others awake, but the glass screen causes some glare trouble when trying to read outside or near a sunny window. If you're an avid outdoor reader the Kindle might still be your best bet.<br />
<br />
Cons:<br />
Still no dedicated USB support. While there is a camera add-on that allows for certain USB devices to be used there is no option for mass storage. Some of the Android Tablets allow for this and if you find yourself wanting to use your tablet as a standalone storage device this might be something to consider. The device can read from certain flash drives though, but is largely limited to photo and video files. Jailbreaks offer solutions to this, but those come with their own issues as well.<br />
<br />
Still no dedicated SD card slot. This is troublesome on two fronts. First, if you want to import pictures from your camera you have to have an adapter which is just one more thing to carry around. Second, the lack of expansion means you're limited to what you purchase in terms of storage. I purchased a 32GB iPad last time and never filled it up completely, so for me capacity wasn't an issue. If you want to be able to have your entire movie collection with you though... you may want to consider whether the iPad 2 can meet your space requirements.<br />
<br />
HDMI output. Really this is a Pro and a Con. The iPad does allow for HD output over HDMI but again it requires an adapter. All of these adapters are additional purchases for features that some tablets offer built in. This can be a pain, but then again if you're not likely to ever use HDMI Output then you're not paying for something you won't use.<br />
<br />
No Flash Support. This is becoming less and less of an issue as the internet and web developers are moving away from Flash for many websites, but there are a lot still out there relying on Adobe's Flash to run properly (including a lot of web based games). Before you pick a tablet consider what kind of websites you frequent and try and determine if they are Flash driven or not. If they are you may really want to consider something from the Android offerings as it is expected that they'll have at least some Flash support.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you're in the market for a tablet device the iPad 2 should definitely be on your short list. If you're uncertain it is always best to go and play with these things hands on first if you can. Best Buy is a good place for that, so are Verizon Stores since they have the Xoom and 3G iPad. Don't get pulled into the hype and mania that comes with an Apple release. They're exciting and new, and they're impressive enough to warrant some excitement, but it will die down and there will be other products that prove a strong competitor to the iPad 2. If you're looking for right now though, this is probably your best bet. I gave the device 4 stars, as I did the iPad 1. I did this in contemplation of the features offered by competitors that are absent from the iPad, most notably the requirement for adapters for USB/SD/HDMI. While these features are there, they aren't as convenient as in other tablets. With that in mind I firmly believe that the iPad more than makes up for this in usability, reliability, and design and in those areas far exceeds its current competitors.prayadsa@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12559163840255298620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238782836535353367.post-47207572364019594212011-06-24T00:35:00.000-07:002011-06-24T00:37:58.646-07:00Apple ipad2<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=cheap0f6-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B001I907I2&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><br />

That said, it should be kept in mind that on such a little screen being able to view multiple applications at once will likely never be something you'll use, and the speed by which you can open and close applications makes this less a headache than you might think. It isn't as fast as moving between open apps, but it isn't a deal breaker by any means. The lack of a camera in this generation is a little surprising, while I've purchased my iPad already, I honestly believe that with the number of competitors expected over the course of 2010 we're probably going to see a generation 2 by Christmas with a camera. It's still an amazing device, but the ability to video chat with it would definitely put it over the top, that's a feature worth waiting for. The lack of Flash support isn't as irritating as I expected it to be, but still something to consider. Many major sites have evolved to html5, or are in the process of doing so. This allows for full viewing by the Safari browser, and where it exists, it works great. The remaining sites still using Flash show up with annoying little boxes looking for a plugin that is likely never going to exist. If you spend a lot of time on flash heavy sites it really probably is worth considering holding out to see how the Slate/Android Tablets look in a few months, but if you're mostly just e-mailing and checking facebook (no Farmville) the lack of Flash support probably won't bother you too much.<br /><br />As a laptop replacement:<br /><br />The inclusion of the iWorks utilities gives this device a little bit of a laptop personality. Don't let that persuade you into believing that you don't need a computer though. You might be able to get away with ditching a laptop if all you really do is e-mail or very light word processing, but if you do anything more than that you'll like the freedom and ease a full computer offers for more complex tasks. That said, this device is a tremendous leap towards a future tablet style device that may very well be a replacement for your computer, but for now it is more of a casual use device than something you can really expect to do substantial work with. I have put together a presentation in keynote, which was easy enough to do, but pages isn't as intuitive as I'd have liked, and taking lengthy notes or writing long letters/e-mails/reports will probably make it worth considering buying either the keyboard dock or the wireless bluetooth keyboard.<br /><br />Battery life seems to live up to the claims, I managed to get about 7 hours before getting the 20% remaining battery life indication, which puts it about right for 10 hours or so of total use. One very important thing to realize about charging the device is that presently (at launch) there is some issues with charging via USB from many computers. The iPad is different than other iPod products, it requires a bit more power to charge up, and unfortunately most USB ports aren't set up to support that higher power draw. This is something that may be fixed in a firmware update to allow for a slower charge, or it may simply be that you'll need to either rely on a new Mac (seems like they can handle the power issue) or rely on the wall charger. Just don't be surprised if you plug it into your computer and it doesn't show that it is charging.<br /><br />All in all, the iPad is an impressive device that might make for a reasonable replacement of a netbook for casual users. For people who need something to really do a lot of work on, you may find that for the price that a netbook or laptop still offers the better value for your needs. Future generations of this device will probably transition into fitting that market better than this first generation. However, if you're an avid reader, casual gamer, music fan, who doesn't do much more on the web than check a few sites, and e-mail. This thing is definitely worth considering! If you're on the fence, nothing about this product is so incredible as to justify running out and buying one right now, but it is worthy of your consideration if you're thinking you might like a tablet style device. I definitely would encourage you to go play with one at best buy or an apple store to get a feel for it. With a number of competitors due out over the next few months we're likely to see some price movement, or a second generation release, so it may be worth it to wait it out a little while.<br /><br />One final note, the screen is absolutely gorgeous while it is turned on. It is crisp, bright, and very easy to see from any angle. But when you turn it off, every finger print and swipe is suddenly very visible (while it is on the light is bright enough you don't see them fingerprints). If you are a neat freak, or just hate finger prints on your devices you'll have to invest in some microfiber cloths or get used to using your shirt sleeve!<br /><br />In conclusion, it's a lot of fun, and I'm not the least bit sorry to have bought one. It does many things, and over the next months will do many more. If you think you want one, go play with one, and if you don't want to wait for a next generation this one is definitely awesome. If you have specific needs that aren't really addressed in this generation or by apple, don't let the hype or peer pressure bully you into this one, there are a number of devices coming with great potential, one of those might be a better fit.prayadsa@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12559163840255298620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238782836535353367.post-9657670440767113752010-04-18T19:33:00.000-07:002011-06-23T22:04:31.940-07:00<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=cheap0f7-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B00414WBT4&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=cheap0f6-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B001UBB9GM&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=cheap0f6-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B002C7481G&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=cheap0f6-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B001I907I2&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=cheap0f6-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B002M3SOBU&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>prayadsa@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12559163840255298620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238782836535353367.post-36834476233050148282010-04-18T19:27:00.000-07:002010-04-18T19:27:14.758-07:00Top 15 FREE iPod Touch applications<object style="background-image:url(http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/pzdVwAaTfTg/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pzdVwAaTfTg&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pzdVwAaTfTg&hl=en_US&fs=1" width="480" height="295" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>prayadsa@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12559163840255298620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238782836535353367.post-58934445737881038342010-04-09T22:49:00.000-07:002010-04-17T22:03:48.571-07:00The All New iPod touch – Taking it to the Next Level.<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=cheap0f6-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B002M3SOBU&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br />The iPod touch is now available in 8GB, 32GB, and 64GB models, allowing you to choose which iPod fits you best.
