Must have tablet computer – The Apple ipad 2

The Apple brand is huge and Apple products are currently the “must have” accessories, which has made them very popular the world over, and when you consider the excellent range of Apple products including the Apple ipod, Apple iphone, Apple ipad, Apple ipad 2, Macbook and iMac, it is easy to see why Apple is the brand leader in many electrical products.

Arguably, the tablet computer is the current product that consumers are lusting over and the Apple ipad 2 is currently leading the way, although the android tablets are starting to come through. The android tablets are catching up to the ipad 2 however they are not quite there yet and the Apple ipad 2 is still considered to be the best tablet computer by many.

There are many things you can do with the ipad 2, such as listening to music, watching movies, viewing photos, dealing with business documents, arranging your contacts and calendar, web browsing and searching the internet amongst many other things. These are all useful features but they are not what made the ipad 2 so popular.

The ipad 2

Even though the ipad 2 has many different uses and features, it is the ability to download and use a variety of different applications, or “apps” as they are often abbreviated to, that makes the ipad 2 so popular. The Apple ipad 2 runs the Apple iOS operating system, which is unique to Apple, therefore the only place to get ipad apps is to download them from the Apple store. There are hundreds of ipad apps available from the Apple store, some of which are free and the remainder of which you have to pay for. Out of the hundreds of ipad apps available some of them are exceptionally good and very useful although the majority are simply rubbish and not worth downloading from the Apple store. When dealing with ipad apps you have to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak, and sort out the good from the bad. Fortunately, there are many forums and sites where you can find reviews on various ipad apps, which means you can easily identify the ipad apps that are worth downloading and those that are not.

As well as ipad apps there are also android tablet apps, which are designed for tablets running the android operating system. Even though the ipad 2 runs the Apple operating system, which is not compatible with the android operating system, it is still possible to run android apps on the ipad 2, however you have to jailbreak the ipad 2 in order to do this. When you jailbreak the ipad 2, you effectively alter the operating system which enables your ipad 2 to download and use android apps. When you jailbreak the ipad 2 you don’t mess the ipad up in any way and you still have all the features of the ipad intact.

In conclusion, if you want the “must have” tablet computer the Apple ipad 2 is definitely the model to go for and it is simply brilliant. As well as all the usual features of a tablet computer the ipad 2 can be fully synced and used with your other Apple products, such as the ipod, Apple iphone, Macbook or iMac, and if you download icloud the process is even easier. So, for the ultimate tablet computer the ipad 2 is the only way forward.
