The most impressive thing about the Apple iPad 2 is its build quality. Constructed out of a solid piece of aluminium
With a bright and vivid glass display
It's every bit the premium gadget. We also love the operating system on the Apple iPad 2. Unlike rival tablets

The editors didn't like
Poor camera quality
Screen less sharp than the new iPad
Design
The first thing that stands out about the iPad 2 is its beautiful shape. It is noticeably thinner than the original iPad
At 241mm tall
186mm wide and 8.8mm thick. It is worth noting that
No Retina display
Doesn't get all features of iOS 7 and likely to fall further behind in future
May struggle with demanding apps and games
Three years old
Now discontinued
Dated Screen
Cameras are poor and let the tablet down
New Model Released
Apple-only applications
Limited connectivity
Sub-standard cameras
No removable storage
No Flash support
Complex tasks are fiddly and take time
Difficult to transfer noniTunes content back and forth
The omission of Flash video is a big issue
ITunes is dated and it’s hard to transfer data without iTunes
Where's the innovation?
No retina screen
Still no Flash
Negligable performance boost
Still expensive
Not enough new to tempt existing owners
Poorquality camera
No builtin SD card reader (optional adapter only) / No USB port / Single proprietary connection
No Flash compatibility for web browsing
Can't play DivX files without a special app or file conversion
ICloud can be intrusive in its interaction with other iDevices
No display resolution bump
Trouble with backlight bleeding
Not quite worth the upgrade for iPad owners
Closed shop for content
No Flash
More features elsewhere
The biggest problem with the Apple iPad 2 is its lack of ports. It's a shame that there's no USB port – making it impossible to easily hook up other devices without buying peripherals
And the need to use iTunes to copy your music across is also frustrating.

Thinner than the original. New A5 chip offers faster graphics processing, general performance. Dual cameras for video chat, HD video recording, and stills. Improved design incorporates internal magnets for Smart Cover accessory. 3G versions available on AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Improved AirPlay features. Supports HDMI output (via optional adapter).
Image quality with rear-facing camera is not great. Front-facing camera is not HD. Still no Flash video support. No earbuds included.
