From the Authors: 5 Incredible Things Your iPad 2 Can Do
The iPad 2 is a combination of a killer audio and video iPod, an e-book reader, a powerful Internet communications device, a superb handheld gaming device, a still and video camera, and a platform for well over 150,000 apps—and growing! In fact, it’s one of the most amazing handheld devices we’ve ever seen, and we think you’ll agree. Here’s a closer look at five incredible things your iPad 2 can do to help you keep your world at your fingertips wherever you go.
HD Video
While the iPad is not going to replace a wall-sized high-definition television as the centerpiece of your home entertainment system, its gorgeous, nearly 10-inch, high-definition display is one of the best we’ve seen on a handheld device and makes watching movies and other videos on the iPad a cinematic delight. What’s more if you have the iPad 2, you now have front and rear facing cameras that can help turn you, under certain circumstances, into a filmmaker—right from the device.
FaceTime
As if HD video was not enough to be excited about, the iPad 2 ventures into another area, video chat. You can keep in touch with friends and loved ones by gazing into each other’s pupils with FaceTime, a clever video chat program built right into the device. The iPad 2’s front camera lets you talk face to face while the back camera can be used to show the person you’re talking to what you’re seeing.
Your conversation partner must have an iPad 2, an Intel-based Mac computer, an iPhone 4, or a recent model iPod touch to use FaceTime with you.
