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 Is New With The iPad 2?

By Jane Devetta


The iPad 2 has been featured a lot in the news, so many of us know that it now available. There is invariably a great deal of hype when it comes to Apple products. Is this due to Apple's product line being fantastic or just racket from their loyal fan base? Coming from someone who is unbiased, I'd say it's a bit of the two. Twelve months separate the launch dates of the iPad and now the iPad 2. Hence, if you purchased the original model, I will now offer my opinion on if you should consider changing to the iPad 2.

The first thing to notice with the iPad 2 is the reduction in in terms of size. The iPad 2 is skinnier by approximately 33% of the original but the screen dimensions continue to be unchanged. The weight of the iPad 2 has also seen a decrease with it now tipping the scales at a mere 600 grams. That's much lighter. These modifications are tangible as I observed by holding the iPad and iPad 2. Don't think a thinner and lighter design means the function is affected, because boy oh boy would you be incorrect...

Don't forget that you can also download ipad movies. The iPad 2 works faster than the initial model. First up, Apple boasts that its graphics processor is nine times speedier than the initial iPad. That is a big improvement, if what they state is true. Gaming requisites and the introduction of cameras is why this had to come about. An A5 chip implies that Apple also now has a processor that is a lot speedier. The A5 chip possesses a dual core processor and it indeed makes a difference to the speed of the new iPad. Irrespective of what I was using, I could distinguish that it was speedier. If I use the various media on the original and then the new iPad, the improved load speed time is marked.

The iPad 2 now comes with two cameras. One is on the front and the other camera is on the back. If you like having the idea of having a camera, then you will welcome this change of stance as when the iPad was initially released, there were no cameras. A slightly better capability of one of the cameras is the ability to photograph in 720p HD. The iPad 2 has now added FaceTime and Photobooth, providing you the ability to video call and take all sorts of photographs. The front camera places you face-to-face when video calling using FaceTime whereas the iPad's back camera displays your surroundings.

Moving up from the iPad to the iPad 2 is, I would say, for people who feel the need for the faster processors and have the available cash. Although the upgrades are an improvement, it's nothing serious, apart from maybe the camera which is a brand new addition.
