Apple iPad 2 Tablet PC

We’ve written several times about the iPad 2 and by now you probably know a lot about it, have probably used it, or may even own one. I could tell you about how light it is, how many apps it has available for download, how powerful it is, or how it may even change your life. And all of those things would be true, but what we realized is that as a tablet comparison site, we’ve always focused on comparing the iPad 2 to other tablet PCs and never taken the time to talk just about the iPad (except for listing iPad 2 specs here).

We’ve listed the iPad 2 as one of the best tablet PCs under $600 and as one of the top 9 best tablet PCs on Amazon (even though it’s the top tablet PC in the world). We’ve compared the iPad 2 to Motorolla Xoom and battled the iPad 2 against the ASUS Eee Pads (where clearly Apple won out). It’s somewhat unfair for every new Nook, Fire, and Tablet to be compared to the iPad 2, but that’s what’s happened since it’s dominated the tablet PC market.

For those who are interested in why they might be interested in an iPad, here are the facts. There are over 140,000 apps available for the iPad. It comes with iCloud to store your files over the Interenet. It’s battery can last over 10 hours between charges. It has one of the most advanced operating systems which is unique among mobile devices in that it is a full-scale OS modified for this device. It’s “amazingly thin and light” and starts at $499. This are just some of the 200 features you can get your hands on this year.
