    New Gadgets

    Apple Company Releases Ipad 2
         Two cameras for FaceTime and HD video recording. The dual-core A5 chip. The same 10-hour battery life. All in a thinner, lighter design. Now iPad is even more amazing. And even less like anything else.

    Dual-core A5 chip.
    It’s fast, times two.

     

         Two powerful cores in one A5 chip mean iPad can do twice the work at once. You’ll notice the difference when you’re surfing the web, watching movies, making FaceTime video calls, gaming, and going from app to app to app. Multitasking is smoother, apps load faster, and everything just works better.

    Superfast graphics.
    Go, gamers, go.

     

         With up to nine times the graphics performance, gameplay on iPad is even smoother and more realistic. And faster graphics help apps perform better especially those with video. You’ll see it when you’re scrolling through your photo library, editing video with iMovie, and viewing animations in Keynote.


    Battery life keeps on going. So you can, too.

     

         Even with the new thinner and lighter design, iPad has the same amazing 10-hour battery life. That’s enough juice for one flight across the ocean, or one movie-watching all-nighter, or a week’s commute across town. The power-efficient A5 chip and iOS keep battery life from fading away.
