  • Abstract:  I bought the 16 GB WiFi-equipped iPad when it first came out. Like many others, I returned it a month later. As much as I liked Apple’s latest gizmo, I just couldn’t find a way to consistently use it. Sure, the iPad was more portable than a notebook, b...

  • Without a doubt, 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, there are loads of apps that take full advantage of the iPad's form factor, helping to turn the Apple into a genu
  • 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.
  • Despite its failings, we love the Apple iPad 2. The sheer quality and usability of Apples tablet makes it the choice of the field, with other products still lagging when it comes to apps, battery life or even build quality. Best offers for the Apple iP...

  • Apple have a strong brand. When I say strong it's more like concrete. This is a brand that shows no sign of getting dented. Signal problems being fixed by a rubber, tracking information being stored ? It's not done anything to dampen the enthusiasm of cus...

  • Reading this iPad 2 review, you may have thought to yourself that I’m merely picking up on all the positives, neglecting any real issues with the device. You would be half right. Yes I’ve been waxing lyrical about the iPad 2, but bar a few irrelevancie...
