Design The iPad 2 is the MacBook Air of tablets. Weighing 1.34 pounds and measuring 0.34 inches thick, the iPad 2 is 33 percent thinner and about 15 percent lighter than the iPad. It's also significantly lighter than the Motorola Xoom (1.6 pounds). You really have to hold the iPad 2 in your hands to appreciate the difference. With its sturdy aluminum back, the tablet feels just as solid as before; there's just less of it, which made the iPad 2 easier to hold during long gaming or reading sessions. The smoother, rounded lines also make the iPad 2 feel more natural in your hands. Plus, you now have two color options for the front: white or black. Despite the iPad 2's serious diet, Apple includes all the same ports, buttons, and switches. Due to the slate's thinness, the volume buttons and Sleep/Wake button sit on sloped edges, but we still found them easy to access. Although the power adapter was a tight fit, we broke it in after a day. Because of the slimmer design, we found typing on the iPad 2 to be less of a strain on our thumbs than the original, especially in portrait mode, but it's even easier to enter text on the narrower Xoom. iOS 4.3 Software and Interface Apple hasn't done much to change the core experience of using its "post-PC" device. With iOS 4.3 on the iPad 2, you can now stream videos from the Photos app to an Apple TV, which is a cool addition since you can shoot and share clips on the spot with this tablet's camera. Apple also says certain websites and apps will work seamlessly with Apple TV. So what else? You get beefed-up JavaScript performance in the browser and the ability to share music and video from your Mac or PC's library over your home network (when you upgrade to iTunes 10.2). That's pretty much it. Display and Audio The bad news is that Apple didn't increase the resolution on its tablet. The iPad 2 sticks with the same 9.7-inch screen with 1024 x 768 pixels. By comparison, the Motorola Xoom sports a 10.1-inch panel with 1280 x 800 pixels. Still, we prefer the iPad 2's screen because it has wider viewing angles (thanks to IPS technology) and does a slightly better job resisting fingerprints (thanks to an oleophobic coating). While Apple made the grille larger on the iPad 2, it's still a mono speaker. We didn't notice a difference in volume or clarity when we blasted The Bravery's "Time Won't Let Me Go" on both the iPad and the iPad 2. This tablet has plenty of audio oomph, but the Xoom's stereo speakers are more impressive. Two other areas where iOS needs work are notifications and social networking integration. iOS 4.3 on the iPad 2 continues to present notifications (whether it's an instant message or a Game Center invitation) as obtrusive pop-ups. Android 3.0 handles notifications better with its System Bar, as does webOS 3.0. We'd also like to see Apple make it easy for users to share photos and web pages via Facebook and Twitter without having to use those dedicated apps. Apple is a good brand, we can see it fromwhether from design ,iOS 4.3 Software, Display and AudioInterface, but sony's brand is better, here are some products on the sony battery.
