Definition: iPad 2
Apple's second-generation iPad, introduced in March 2011. The thinner, faster iPad adds two cameras for video calling over Wi-Fi. With a dual-core CPU, faster graphics, a gyro and accelerometer, it is more suited to high-speed games than the iPad 1. It is three ounces lighter; memory was increased from 256MB to 512MB, but storage capacities were unchanged (16 to 64GB). Designed for video calling and printing small photos, the rear-facing camera is only one megapixel, compared to five on other tablets and smartphones. A Digital AV Adapter enables everything on screen to display on a TV set via HDMI. In the iPad 1, only apps programmed to support an external display would work. For more on the iPad in general, see iPad. See Smart Cover.
Much Faster for Games
The faster CPU in the iPad 2 shows up in games such as Real Racing 2 HD. Turning is done by moving the iPad like a steering wheel.
