So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

What Are the New Features in The iPad 2?

By Donna Bourbonnie


The iPad 2 has mentioned a lot in the news, so almost of us know that it now available. There is always a great deal of hoopla when it comes to Apple products. Is this because of Apple's product line being terrific or simply noise from their hardcore fan base? I would say it could be either, talking as an unbiased onlooker in this. The iPad 2 was announced and released very recently, and it comes merely a year after the first iPad was made available. So, if you purchased the first model, I will now offer my opinion on if you should consider changing to the iPad 2.

Regarding the physical size, the iPad 2 is a lot smaller in size than the original iPad. The iPad 2 is thinner by roughly one third of the original although the screen dimensions stay unchanged. The weight of the iPad 2 has also seen a decrease with it now hitting the scales at just 600 grams. That's much lighter. These alterations are touchable as I found by holding the iPad and iPad 2. Don't think a slimmer and lighter design means the performance is affected, because boy oh boy would you be wrong...

It can handle movies in the same way as movies for iphone. When compared to the original model, the iPad 2 is speedier. For one, Apple boasts that its graphics processor is nine times speedier than the first iPad. If that is true, it is a huge stride forward. The thinking behind this is as a result of new cameras and what is needed for games. The processor is likewise much quicker, as Apple have gone on from the old A4 chip to an A5 chip. The reason for it being rapid is because the iPad 2 features a dual core A5 processing chip. Irrespective of what I was using, I could tell that it was zippier. I've likewise taken a look at both the original iPad and new iPad side by side and I can definitely say you note things, such as web pages and video, loading quicker.

The release of the iPad 2 has as well led to the addition of two cameras. The two cameras are situated at the front side and at the rear of the device. This is a major move as the first iPad had no camera in the least and this may be crucial to you. A more or less better capability of one of the cameras is the ability to shoot in 720p HD. FaceTime and PhotoBooth are two new additions to the iPad which give you the ability to make video calls and snap interesting photos, respectively. With FaceTime, the front camera allows your calling partner to see you and the back camera lets him see what you can see, on the back side of the iPad.

If you have money and wish the new faster processing times then upgrading from the first iPad to iPad 2 probably makes sense. Whilst the upgrades are an improvement, it's nothing groundbreaking, apart from perhaps the camera which is a brand new addition.
