Apple iPad 2 (WiFi + 3G) 16GB - White
[b]Thinner, lighter and full of great ideas[/b] Once you pick up iPad 2, it’ll be hard to put down. That’s the idea behind the all-new design. It’s 33 per cent thinner and up to 15 per cent lighter, so it feels even more comfortable in your hands. And it makes surfing the web, checking email, watching films and reading books so natural, you might forget there’s incredible technology under your fingers. [b]Dual-core A5 chip. It’s fast, times two[/b] Two powerful cores in one A5 chip mean iPad can do twice the work at once. You’ll notice the difference when you’re surfing the web, watching films, making FaceTime video calls, gaming and going from app to app to app. Multitasking is smoother, apps load faster and everything just works better. [b]Super-fast graphics. Go, gamers, go[/b] With up to nine times the graphics performance, gameplay on iPad is even smoother and more realistic. And faster graphics help apps perform better — especially those with video. You’ll see it when you’re scrolling through your photo library, editing video with iMovie and viewing animations in Keynote. [b]Battery life keeps on going. So you can too.[/b] Even with the new thinner and lighter design, iPad has the same amazing 10-hour battery life. That’s enough juice for one flight across the ocean, or one film-watching all-nighter or a week’s commute across town. The power-efficient A5 chip and iOS keep battery life from fading away, so you can get carried away. [b]Two cameras. And a big hello to FaceTime for iPad[/b] You’ll see two cameras on iPad one on the front and one on the back. They may be tiny, but they’re a big deal. They’re designed for FaceTime video calling, and they work together so you can talk to your favourite people and see them smile and laugh back at you. The front camera puts you and your friend face-to-face. Switch to the back camera during your video call to share where you are, who you’re with or what’s going on around you. If it’s worth filming, let the back camera roll. It’s HD, so every movie you shoot is a mini-masterpiece. And you can take wacky snapshots in Photo Booth. It’s the most fun a face can have. [b]LED-backlit display. The view is amazing[/b] iPad is one big, beautiful display, 9.7 inches of high-resolution photos, films, web pages, books and more. LED backlighting makes everything you see remarkably crisp, vivid and bright. Even in places with low light, like an airplane. And there’s no wrong way to hold iPad. It’s designed to show off everything in portrait and landscape, so with every turn (even upside down), the display adjusts to fit. Because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178° viewing angle. Hold it up to someone across the room, or share it with someone sitting next to you, and everyone gets a brilliant view. [b]Multi-Touch. Everything’s at your fingertips[/b] Technology is at its best when it feels completely natural, almost like there’s no technology at all. That’s Multi-Touch on iPad. You use your fingers to do everything, so everything you do surfing the web, typing email, reading books and swiping through photos is easier and a lot more fun. How does it work? When your fingers touch the display, it senses them using electrical fields. Then it instantly transforms your taps, swipes, pinches and flicks into lifelike actions. Just like that. [b]iOS 4. The world’s most advanced mobile operating system[/b] iOS 4 is the operating system for iPad (along with iPhone and iPod touch). It lets you browse, read and see everything just by pointing your finger. It includes all the powerful, innovative and fun built-in apps you use every day, many times a day. And it’s the platform on which more than 65,000 other amazing apps have been created for iPad. It’s highly secure, stable and responsive, and it’s made to work seamlessly with the iPad hardware. iOS 4 is the reason no other device has yet come close to iPad. [b]Instant On. The fun starts fast[/b] Pick up your iPad, press the Home button and it wakes from sleep instantly. That’s because iPad features fast, efficient and reliable flash storage that lets you access data quickly. So everything effortlessly springs to life. [b]Gyro, accelerometer and compass. iPad knows your every move[/b] With the built-in accelerometer, you can rotate iPad to portrait or landscape, or even upside down, and whatever you’re watching, reading or seeing adjusts to fit the display. And now the accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope and compass all work together. They sense where iPad is, which direction it’s facing and how it’s moving. So games, maps and other apps know your every twist, turn, tilt and 360. It’s an epic win for gaming. And it’s just the beginning of better-than-ever iPad apps. [b]AirPlay. Your movie-photo-music stream[/b] All the great stuff on your iPad your music, photos and video can now stream wirelessly to your HDTV and speakers via AirPlay-enabled speakers or Apple TV on a Wi-Fi network. With just a tap on the AirPlay icon, blast some tunes, have a film night, show off some photos or watch YouTube. And go big. [b]Video mirroring. What you do is what they see[/b] Video mirroring is new for iPad and for every app, web page, presentation, video, film or photo you want to show a big audience. Just plug in the Apple Digital AV Adapter or Apple VGA Adapter (sold separately) and your HDTV or projector becomes a bigger version of your iPad. One plug, that’s it. Everyone sees what’s on your display even when you rotate iPad from portrait to landscape or zoom in and out on photos. [b]AirPrint. Print everything wirelessly[/b] Print your email, photos, web pages and documents straight from your iPad over Wi-Fi. There’s no software to download, no drivers to install and no cables to connect. With just a few taps, you can go from viewing something on the iPad screen to holding a printed copy.
