Apple is well known all over the world for creating and manufacturing products that are both attractively designed and incredibly lightweight. Still, one of the most popular complaints people made about the original iPad was that it was super bulky for carrying around. So the iPad 2 is thinner and more compact, which is a significant improvement. After all, iPads are made to be portable and people are supposed to like carrying them on planes, to the library, to the beach, etc. There is about a fifteen percent weight drop in the iPad 2 from the first iPad which might seem minor but is major when you have to carry something around all day long.

If you read the list of features on the Apple iPad 2, you might think it has everything, but this isn’t quite the case. The Apple iPad 2 still doesn’t have Flash support and that disappoints many users. This may not be viewed as a major detraction, but it does limit the viewing of those websites that are based on Flash. There isn’t a SD slot on the iPad, so it is harder to import pictures from a digital camera. Although it would be easier to do with an SD card, it can still be done, but you will need an adapter. Because you can’t add extra storage, you will have to make sure that you buy an iPad that will meet your storage needs in the long term. The Apple iPad 2 is an innovative device, and while not radically different from the first iPad, there are some improvements.
