iPad 1 or iPad 2?

This is a question I have recently asked myself as I have been considering whether to get an iPad and, if I did, whether to get the cheaper iPad 1 or the more expensive iPad 2.So, this is my overall summary of each one of their strong and weak points.

iPad 1. This, when it came out, was the next big thing. It was the piece of technology that everyone wanted to buy because it was so original and absolutely brilliant. It had everything that buyers wanted as it was a mix between the amazingly successful Apple iPod touch and an ordinary laptop. The touch screen was also very responsive and the graphics on the games were almost as good as on a professional gaming laptop. It was also very quick and simple to create documents with the Pages application which makes it extremely simple to create professional looking documents which can be shared easily between other Apple devices and also all other devices. And, coming in at £450 to start with, it was a reasonably good price for that kind of device. But, after a while Apple discounted the prices and it was possible to buy one for much a cheaper price.

iPad 2: When the iPad 2 came out, many people were doubtful about it because they didn't think it could be much better than the iPad 1, but after it was tried and tested by many people, they soon realized that it had the potential to be much better than the iPad 1. Two cameras were also introduced to the iPad 2 as well as a much thinner and slender style, meaning that many fashion critics and buyers preferred the sleek design of the iPad 2. But, most of the other aspects are the same as the iPad 1, but it is generally much quicker for web access and using applications. Also the iPad 2's starting price of £450 was the same price as the iPad 1's starting price, so many buyers considered it a very good deal, but, like the iPad 1, prices were soon discounted and the cheapest model is now around £400.

Overall, I feel that although both models are extremely good and much better than their rival products, the iPad 2 is better as it is a very good deal and the two cameras are good for using apps such as FaceTime to contact other iPhone/iPad users.

Hey guys, welcome to my blog!! On My blog I'm going to post updates about anything, but mainly sport and technology. I might also do reviews of new "gadgets" that have recently been released and maybe a match report from a recent rugby or football match. So, that's my first post, sorry it's not very interesting but I will post more interesting posts as my understanding of how to use this progresses. Bye!
