2011-03-15
what's up guys and girls John Linder with TLD bringing you quite possibly the most important meal of the day today I'm bringing you the full review to the brand new iPad 2 which comes in two different flavors white or black you can pick this up 16 32 or 64 gigabytes and you can either choose Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi plus 3G and choose your poison with AT&T or Verizon the iPad 2 features a resolution of 1024 by 768 across a nine point seven inch LED backlit display on the inside of the iPad we get a dual-core one gigahertz a5 apple processor now along with the new dual-core CPU we get dual core graphics processing apple claims is to be nine times faster according to benchmarks it's actually about 6 times faster than the previous iteration in the iPad the biggest thing here though it's actually almost four times faster than the new Motorola Xoom very impressive nonetheless the iPad 2 is insanely thin come in at 0.34 inches thick weighs under a pound and a half and is actually thinner than the iPhone 4 on the bottom of the iPad you get your traditional Apple 30-pin dock connector and to the left of that is a much improved speaker you don't get so much of a volume increase but it definitely is clearer from left to right we get the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack the built-in microphone the rear-facing HD camera which shoots at 720p 30 frames per second just above that is the wake/sleep button into the right of that is the mute button alongside with the volume rockers up and down on the front of the iPad we get the front-facing VGA quality camera which you're going to use for FaceTime video chat or photobooth which will open up right now so you guys can get an example of how it works the camera isn't great by any means don't expect to replace your Canon or your Nikon but photo booth is actually a lot of fun you guys can see me looking like a goofball right here oh yeah you can also look like the YouTube sensation beater Kiki 199 52 now that we've seen some of the pictures go to check out the video quality right now we're filming off the front-facing VGA camera in landscape mode using the built-in internal mic got a little bit of wind going on the background so you guys can see how that picks that up let's go to move it to portrait this is kind of an idea of how to look and sound kind of in a FaceTime environment let's go and jump over to the rear-facing HD camera alright so we're on the rear-facing camera this is a 720p this is melody slip doggy get a super close-up say hi to the TLD viewers you're going to be watched on YouTube bless you so we are shooting 720p 30 frames per second like I mentioned if you have a good lighting situation it's going to look pretty decent to be honest the camera is kind of stuck in low light but if you have good lighting like I said it's going to look pretty good alongside the HD camera comes iMovie for the iPad this is a $5 paid application totally worth the money though very nicely laid out what you're seeing right now is footage from Matt's Macintosh he actually used nothing but the iPads camera and iMovie for the iPad to create one of his reviews I will post a link to check out that video as well as his channel he puts out some great content next up is GarageBand for the iPad this is also a five dollar application that's a lot of fun it's also a eight track multitrack recorder so you can see how easy it is to adjust levels on the fly you here's an example of smart drums for GarageBand on the iPad you can manipulate the drums get random patterns pretty cool for songwriter you can move the kicks and snares changing from simple complex loud and quiet overall had a lot of fun playing with GarageBand definitely go pick this app up if you got the iPad the iPad 2 ships with iOS 4.3 here's a quick snippet of multitasking how easy it is to adjust brightness on the fly alongside the improved graphics on the iPad 2 you get a 3-axis gyroscope with an accelerometer so gaming is absolutely awesome on the iPad 2 and there's tons and tons of apps in the App Store one of the best parts about owning an iPad here's a quick example of smart covers for the iPad I think they're awesome they snap on via magnets you can wake and turn off your iPad just by closing the cover overall I'd say the iPad 2 is definitely a worthy upgrade if you own the iPad 1 I wouldn't necessarily go run out and sell your iPad to go get this one unless you really look forward to the front facing of the rear facing cameras for FaceTime or you do a lot of gaming because the graphics has definitely improved the iPad is super light it feels really good in your hands you can pick this up in white or black I would personally recommend it really enjoying the iPad 2 so far thanks for watching this review feel free to subscribe if you haven't already make sure to check out a few different videos covering the iPad the unboxing if you missed that and I'll catch you guys later you
