Firsty, how awesome is the new iPad 2? In our opinion there is nothing like it…. But read on for our iPad 2 review (it is available in the UK now

Before the iPad came onto the scene, many doubted its usefulness or even its usability.
Now however, the iPad 2 is entering into a market full of competition- but more than one designer iPad 2 review is showing that it has little to nothing to worry about.
Thus far, the iPad has already outsold all of the other tablets combined, and with 65,000+ apps in the Apple Store, a rock-solid track record as an exceedingly useful and fun gadget to have, it is certainly off to a solid start.

iPad Review – Upsides
There is a range of upgrades in this iPad over the first one. For starters, cosmetically, it is available in white (a feature that iPhone 4 fans are still waiting on), and is actually 33% thinner.
At 1.3 pounds it is also lighter, and thanks to its A5 dual core processor, the load times have become blazingly fast. Despite all this, however somehow Apple magically managed to maintain the same 10 hours of battery life that the original had, thus upping the value of these improvements even further.

Pricing and Comparison
Another positive feature of the iPad 2 (particularly when compared to other tablets) is the price. At $499 for the 16GB model and $829 for the 64GB one, they are priced to be a luxury, but still one that most people can manage to afford nonetheless.

Downsides
On the downside, many of the other features (such as the display, proprietary port, and maximum flash storage) have not been upgraded and all remain the same. Although a camera has been added on the front as well to allow for conferencing via FaceTime, the specs of it are shockingly low, with both cameras having quality below 1 Megapixel. (Front -.3MP, back – .91MP)

Advantages
As with the iPhone, Apple laptops and other products, the greatest advantage of the iPad is the fact that it can synchronize, not just with your main PC, but with other apple products as well… and the user interface is virtually the same.
For those who already own an apple PC or product, this is one big advantage to getting another apple product (as opposed to one from another brand), and probably one of the biggest reasons why Apple users remain steadfast and loyal to the brand.
Additionally, the aforementioned 65,000 apps available, and proven track record will also no-doubt be enough to tip most people’s scales in favor of the Ipad 2 over other new tablets.
While the iPad 2 may not be a perfect machine, the average designer iPad 2 review states that it is a very good one. Without question, it will only be a matter of time before more competitors start to arrive on the scene, but with the record of the original, it is not likely that apple will be shaking in their boots over it.
