iPad2 - the unboxing!
So yeah OK, I caved in and got an iPad2 instead of a cheaper iPad1. My main reason though? An iPad1 was going to cost me £300ish, and then I was going to pay for a data plan on top of that each month too; my iPad2 cost me £289 and I get a data plan with that each each month….. so, kinda sort saving money. And the hardware is so much better it is worth the small extra cost I think.
Anyway, here’s some nice pics of the unboxing taking place.
The thing that got me was the fact that no-where on either the box, the manual or the actual iPad2 itself does it say “iPad2” - it kinda worried me that I’d be given the wrong device until I got it home and checked to see the camera’s! lol
This thing is gorgeous to look at. It feels really nice to hold, just like the first one. Unless you happened to have the first iPad to hold at the same time for comparison, the suttle weight difference largely goes un-noticed. The difference in thickness (or thin-ness?) is very apparant though. See next pic for just how thin this great bit of kit really is!
Thin thin thin!
Baby got back.
The screen is brilliantly bright, and almost all of the reflecticeness of the glass screen is lost once the iPad2 is turned on.
Currerntly it’s updating to iOS 4.3.1, then I’ll be hitting the apps store, testing the camera, Safari browser for speed/rendering…… the fun hs only just begun!
