iPad 2 - How to Set It Up and Sync the Device

Setting up your new iPad 2 device can be a simple process. You need to have a working computer with iTunes installed on it and then the process should be very smooth. You will be able to have contacts, pictures, calendars and even videos transferred from your computer to your iPad 2 in less than an hour. Follow these steps to decrease the time it takes to set up and sync your new device with iTunes:

Get the Most Recent Version of iTunes

This is one of the most important steps when syncing your iPad 2 with your iTunes account. If you have an iPhone or an iPod (which most iPad owners do), you are more than likely familiar with iTunes. This is program, which can be downloaded from the internet for free, is how your iPad 2 and computer will "communicate" with each other. Go to the iTunes website to be sure you have downloaded the most recent version available.

Connect Your iPad to the Computer

Now that you have your iPad 2 and computer in front of you - it's time to connect them so they can start "talking" to each other. In your iPad 2 box, you will find a USB cable which will be used to charge and sync your device with your computer. This cable comes with all iPad devices. Plug the USB end of the cord (the smaller end) into any USB port on your computer and the thicker end of the cable into the bottom of your iPad 2. Once you have correctly plugged each end to the right device your iPad will automatically begin to charge.

Connecting Your iPad for the First Time

The very first time your new device is turned on it will ask the user to connect it to iTunes. This does not need to be done if you don't want to sync your device with your computer. If you plan on syncing your device, please connect it like mentioned above.

As a part of the process you'll need to enter your iTunes account details to pull up your specific iTunes account. If you have an iPad with Wi-Fi and 3G, it will prompt you to sign up for a data plan if you desire. Follow the prompts to get to the point where you can actually sync your two devices.

Force the Sync

When you have chosen what you want to sync to your iPad in the iTunes dashboard, you will need to apple these setting. Click the "apply" button to start the syncing process. You can also force a sync when you feel the need by click on the "Sync" button, which is located on the bottom-right area of the iTunes window.

iPad Speakers - Enhance Your Device With These

The Apple iPad is a tablet computer which offers the inclusive features offered by any computer system. On the iPad users can watch videos and movies, listen to music, stream live, etc. This is the main reason why iPad speakers are extremely popular these days. When people spend the hefty amount of money to get the iPad, which is undoubtedly the up-to-the-minute technology, they want to receive the maximum pleasure by using appropriate speakers as well. People are interested in getting the best speakers in terms of sound quality and durability.

iPad speakers are not as expensive as many people may think. You can easily find incredible speakers for your device within your limited budget when you look around and do your research. Especially if you search online, you might even come across speakers as low as $20. When you buy the external iPad speakers only then can you realize the difference of the performance as well as the full potential of your device. Anyone would prefer watching a movie or listening to music out of quality entertainment speakers.

People in general love trends whether it is fashion, technology, food, diets, entertainment, music, etc. Seeing as Apple products seem to be at the top of the trend list at the moment, anything having to do with your iPad will most likely be stylish.

Even though, there are built-in speakers in the iPad, when it comes to receiving the finest and optimum performance these integrated speakers are not up to the mark. There are numerous brands of speakers available today for iPads. The rule is simple, the more you spend on your device and the more add-ons you put in your device the more you can appreciate it to its ultimate capacity.

When you decide to buy a pair of speakers, you need to keep some important points in mind. First, you need to understand that not all the speakers available in stores are of perfect quality. Buying low quality speakers is otherwise useless. When you buy speakers, appropriately check the quality and performance of the speakers beforehand.

The other important point is to make a budget and search for the speakers that would offer the best features within your budget. Look at it this way: you have already spent a large amount on purchasing the iPad, so what's the point of spending another fortune on a pair of speakers? Quality matters, but make sure it's within your budget.

Trying to Find the Cheapest iPad? Three Things You Need to Know to Save Money on a New Device

With so many iPads to choose from, which one is the cheapest iPad on the market? With the iPad 2 coming in so many different variations, yet with similar features, it's not always easy to tell. Let me help you break down the options for iPad 2 models to find the cheapest iPad.

Wi-Fi-only

The cheapest iPads generally come in the Wi-Fi-only version. What does this mean? It means that you can get internet access when you're in the vicinity of your home wireless network or an internet café with free Wi-Fi. This way, you get free Wi-Fi whenever you link into the network, and you never have to pay any data fees like you'd have to with a contract.

There are six iPad 2 models in the Wi-Fi-only version. These are the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models, each of which come in black or white. The cheapest iPad in the whole bunch is the 16GB, Wi-Fi-only one. It costs $499, or for all intents and purposes, call it $500.

The next two Wi-Fi-only models in the lineup cost $599 and $699 for the 32GB and 64GB versions, respectively.

3G-enabled

If you plan to use your iPad on a roadtrip, on vacation or on business where you don't have access to a free Wi-Fi network, you might consider getting the 3G-enabled model. These come in the same storage sizes as the Wi-Fi-only and are offered through AT&T and Verizon networks.

Surprisingly, the cost of each of the iPad 2 models through both networks are identical. You can pick whichever provider you want and not sacrifice anything in the upfront price.

However, you'll spend $130 more per device for getting the 3G-enabled iPad. Plus, you'll have to spend at least $10 per month (with Verizon) or $15 per month (with AT&T) to actually use that 3G service.

So you're talking at least $140 more for the 3G version in the initial month than with the Wi-Fi only version. Wowzers! That's pretty expensive.

So as you can see, the 3G-enabled iPad 2 models are hardly the cheapest iPad choices you could pick from. If you really want to go cheap, you should get the Wi-Fi-only version in a 16GB model.

About the Storage

Now, why would you want the 16GB model as opposed to the other two, which have so much more storage? Well, one thing I've learned in my years of owning several Apple products is that you don't really need as much space as you think you need. You hardly need that much to browse the internet or read an iBook. You don't even need that much space for applications.

With 16GB of space, you can still fit thousands of songs, a couple of movies, some applications and more. Unless you plan on storing your entire 64,000-song music library on your iPad 2, you're probably better off getting the 16GB one, as far as space and price are concerned.

I think it's also pertinent to mention that the black and white models cost the same, so you don't have to choose between colors for a price savings. However, you'll be happier you took the black option, as the white iPad gets really dirty from fingerprints, dust and everyday wear.

iPad 2 Review - The Evolution Of An Amazing Device

It is barely a year since Apple unleashed its original iPad, a game changing device in the world of mobile computing. Now the tablet is firmly established as a niche product: smaller than a laptop or netbook but larger than a smartphone. The Apple iPad might not have been the first tablet device but it was the one that renewed the format for the mobile internet age.

Now, twelve months later, with the original iPad a runaway success, but with other manufacturers getting in on the act in greater numbers, Apple has released the iPad 2. The excitement and anticipation concerning this new model has been remarkable, so in this article we'll have a look at what the new iPad brings to the table, and whether it makes sense for owners of the old model to go for an upgrade straight away.

Whenever Apple launches a new, upgraded version of one of its products, you can be sure that the new model will strive for something noticeably different in design compared to its predecessor. This is how Apple uses design to stimulate desire for its products. While there is always technical advancement, at the same time appearance and style are used by Apple to distance the new product from the old and make what was 'new' a few months ago seem 'old hat'.

Bearing this in mind, the new iPad 2 is surprisingly recognizable from the old model. To be fair, when it comes to the tablet it would be hard to reinvent the wheel; having said that, the new model is noticeably thinner and sleeker than the original. There is also a curve to the edge of the new unit that gives it a different feel in the hand. As well as being thinner than the first iPad, the new model is also lighter, by 80 grams.

Moving on to the technical specifications, if we compare the old iPad with the iPad 2 we can see that there have been some big improvements made. The new unit is powered by an A5 dual core 1 GHz processor chip, which is effectively twice as fast as the single core A4 chip in the old iPad. The iPad 2 has 512 MB of RAM, again twice that of the first generation iPad. Also on the plus side, the iPad 2 features an upgraded graphics engine that is claimed to be nine times faster than the previous version. On the other hand, the iPad 2 screen is the same (1024x768 pixels) as that on the old iPad, so there is no improvement there.

A significant step forward with the iPad 2 is in its provision of two cameras: a rear-facing cam for video and still capture, and a front-facing VGA cam for video chats. In contrast the original iPad had no camera of any kind. Another improvement with the iPad 2 is its inbuilt gyroscope that detects whether the unit is being held horizontally or vertically. This feature aims to counteract an annoying tendency of the old iPad to display images or pages at the wrong orientation if the unit was moved suddenly.

As you might expect, the enhanced hardware of the iPad 2 makes for faster processing and smoother display of some kinds of material. Simple web browsing, using the supplied Safari browser, doesn't seem that different but video playback is definitely somewhat smoother. However, one disappointment is the camera quality. The resolution is not that great, either for capture of video and stills, or for the quality of video chats. This is a little surprising given the superior specifications of the cameras on the iPhone 4. On the other hand, a tablet like the iPad is not really an ideal size or shape to use as a camera. Perhaps the company's research shows that buyers use the iPad chiefly to browse the net and as an e-reader, and so there was no point in over-specifying the device.

One other thing we have to mention is the issue of Adobe Flash support. In common with the various iPhones and previous iPad, the iPad 2 does not support Flash, so any websites dependent on this technology (and there are lots of them) will not display on the iPad. Some websites, for example Google's various sites, offer HTML5 versions as a substitute for Flash, but many other websites do not so these will not be viewable at all on the iPad 2.

In conclusion, we shall try to answer the twin questions of whether you should choose the iPad 2 over another tablet, and also whether existing iPad users should replace their machines. With regard to other tablets out there at the moment, the chief contender seems to be the Motorola Xoom. If you put the iPad 2 up against the Xoom, in our opinion the Xoom comes out slightly on top. The display is crisper and brighter, and the Motorola is better specified all round. On the other hand, the iPad is smaller and lighter, which is an advantage, even when performance is not quite as good. Of course, the other major difference is the interface. The Xoom is an Android device, and Android has increasing numbers of fans. The adaptability and flexibility of the Android OS is definitely greater than that of the Apple iOS, but to this day many people, especially those already used to Apple devices, prefer the smoothness of the Apple interface.

If you already own an iPad, you may be wondering whether or not to upgrade. If you are the kind of person who has to get the latest and greatest, and for whom the cost is not a concern, then yes, you should go for it. The iPad 2 has an improved, sleeker case and a noticeably zippier performance. You will certainly see a speed difference compared to the old model. On the other hand, if you have only recently purchased the iPad, you could take comfort in knowing you have an excellent product and enjoy it for what it is. Unless you are desperate to be up to date, you should perhaps wait for the iPad 3, or for a discount on the iPad 2, which will probably come at some point when this brand new product has been on the market for a while.
