Hands on: iPad 2 review - GoFuckYourself.com

DVTimes · 03-06-2011, 12:15 PM

The Apple iPad 2 has been unveiled, and TechRadar has spent some time with the hottest piece of kit so far in 2011.

Make no mistake, this is a seriously cool piece of kit, bringing a whole host of improvements that, individually, may not sound like much, but put together take the iPad onto a whole new plane.

First up ? the new chassis is an immediate and clear improvement; and the primary thing of note is that it is much flatter on its backside - and therefore more capable of sitting on a flat surface.

It's a minor improvement, but it makes a big difference to how comfortable the device actually feels in the hand as well as when you have it on a surface.

Of course, another difference is the weight ? and although 0.2 of a pound (90g) sounds infinitesimal, it makes a considerable difference.

The original iPad often found itself accused of being uncomfortable to hold for any length of time, and although its successor does not entirely solve the problem (this is still weighty for one handed use) it's a massive step in the right direction.

If they would just put in an active digitizer I'm sure these things would sell like hotcakes.
