December 13, 2011 No comments

With the launch of the latest iPad model, the iPad 2, also comes the latest version of iPad OS 4.3. The final version of iOS 4.3 is set to bring a number of features to the iPad 2 and other Apple devices. Here’s a quick guide to what you can expect.

ITunes Home Sharing

iTunes Home Sharing is a big improvement to the iOS 4.3 system. This means you can play your whole iTunes library no matter where you are in the house. It works by connecting the devices over a Wi-Fi network and accessing the content from your Mac or PC.

Airplay

The iOS 4.3 update brings improvements to Airplay, the function that lets you stream music throughout the home without wires. The upgrade means that you can now stream videos from the Photos app, and view AirPlay enabled apps and websites on the big screen.

Improved Safari Performance

Any browsing performance is always welcomed with every upgrade, and Apple states that iOS 4.3 will bring a much more responsive internet surfing experience, running JavaScript up to twice as fast as with iOS 4.2.2 and loading interactive features much quicker.

December 13, 2011 No comments

It’s official – the iPad 2 is here and it’s set to be huge no matter what you think of the changes. Any new iPad description will tell you it’s available in both black and white, with an all-new camera. But how much has really changed since the original iPad? Here’s a guide to some of the key features of both models of this popular tablet computer.

The Size

Any iPad description you read will make note of the new slimmer size for the iPad 2, and it’s one of the bigger features that Apple are promoting. The differences are very small, though anything that improves portability is useful for a device like this. If you’re used to the old iPad, you’ll probably notice the changes.

Should You Upgrade To The iPad 2?

December 13, 2011 No comments

With the new release of the iPad next generation model – the iPad 2 – many current iPad owners are wondering whether it’s worth upgrading or not. If that sounds like you then here are some of the most important points to consider before you decide.

Making Back The Costs By Selling Your Older iPad

As soon as the iPad 2 was announced, Apple also dropped the price of the first iPad by $100 to clear old stock. The iPad 2 took over at the standard iPad price point. This means that, for those looking to pay for their upgrade by selling the old model, you’ll expect to make a loss of a couple of hundred dollars, if your iPad is in good condition. This should be your reference point when deciding whether the upgrade is worth it. Are the new features worth a couple of hundred dollars to you?

How Much Does Speed Matter?

One of the most notable differences between the iPad next generation device and the original is that the iPad 2 is faster. Its new dual-core processor means that it can handle all kinds of functions quicker, and this is boosted with the recent improvements from iOS 4.3. Whether this is worth the money or not depends upon what you want to use your iPad for.

Why Buy iPad 2? Here Are 7 Good Reasons

With the new version of the iPad now available, many people are quick to ask “why buy iPad 2?” Is it really worth buying the new model when there are other tablets on the market, and is it worth current iPad users upgrading their device?

Here are 7 good answers to the question “why buy iPad 2?”

1) You Love Having The Latest Greatest Thing

Not everyone will admit it, but there are millions of people out there who queue up at the Apple Store on release date simply because they love to have the latest greatest thing before everybody else. Even if you haven’t gone to that extreme, the iPad 2 is still a “must-have” gadget! You’d be missing out if you didn’t get your hands on one.

2) It Won’t Cost Any Extra

Apple have decided to price the iPad 2 at exactly the same price as the original model, which means you’re not going to have to pay any more money for getting a sleeker design, front and back cameras, faster operating system and more.

Can The iPad 2 Replace My Laptop?

December 13, 2011 No comments

The iPad vs. laptop debate has come a long way since the original iPad model was released. Now, with the release of the improved iPad 2, more and more people are set to get into the world of tablet computers. But can they really replace your laptop?

Portability

Both laptops and iPads are designed with portability in mind, but the iPad is the clear winner in this respect. The iPad 2 is slimmer and lighter than ever before, but with the same glossy screen and resolution. It’s easy to slip it into a bag and take it with you wherever you go, and it certainly won’t weigh you down in the way that a laptop will. And, with the release of the iPad 2 Smart Cover, it’s easy to prop up your iPad should you want to use it hands free to watch a movie!

It’s important not to forget that battery life is essential for any portable device. With new features added to the iPad 2 model, some people were worried that it would lead to a shorter battery life. This isn’t the case, and the iPad 2 features the same long 10 hour battery life of the iPad 1. There aren’t many laptops (except for Apple’s own MacBooks) that can boast such a long life when away from a power source!

Review Of The iPad 2 Smart Cover

December 13, 2011 No comments

With the release of the new iPad 2 also comes the release of a number of accessories, notably the iPad 2 Smart Cover, designed and sold by Apple.

This case retails at $39 for the polyurethane version, or $69 for a leather version to give the iPad that professional touch. The former comes in pink, orange, green, blue and gray, and the latter is available in beige, black, gray and red.

The iPad 2 Smart Cover boasts a lot more features than a simple iPad case, but is it really worth the money?

Pros

Some reviewers are already claiming that the iPad 2 Smart Cover is going to make it difficult for third party case manufacturers to sell as many of their products, due to the fact that the case is just about as small and simple as it can get (bearing in mind all the functionality that it brings).

The major pros of this case include:
* It’s really stylish and comes in a huge variety of colors,
* It’s made by Apple so fits the iPad 2 perfectly,
* It puts the iPad to sleep when you apply the case, and turns the iPad on when you remove it,
* It can be applied to the front or the back of the device,
* It can be folded and used as a stand for watching movies, typing, video calls etc.
* It’s so thin that it doesn’t add bulk to the iPad 2.
