Apple has announced the brand new iPad 2, which will be available March 11th, and it is the perfect accessory for the business traveler. It will be available in both black and white and still only costs $499, but just because the price hasn’t increased, don’t think they haven’t added a ton of cool new features, because they have!
The iPad 2 is lighter, faster, has a front-side camera for FaceTime video calls, and so much more. For $39 more you can also add an HDMI output cable to your iPad. It is 33 percent thinner than the original model, making it lighter and more comfortable to hold. Apple has also added a dual-core A5 chip which means the iPad 2 can do twice the work at the same time. This is incredibly convenient for the business traveler, making web-surfing and face time video calls faster and more clear than ever before. Multitasking is a breeze with the iPad2 because apps load faster and everything simply runs better.
When traveling from corporate housing San Diego to the next city, we know that sometimes even the most focused of business travelers might take a personal minute (or two) to watch a movie or play a game on that long flight. The iPad 2 now has nine times the graphics performance as the original model, making gameplay more realistic and smooth.
And don’t make the incorrect assumption that just because Apple has added all these features that the battery life has gone down. Even though it is thinner and lighter, the iPad2 still boasts a 10-hour battery life, which will definitely get you through that overseas flight or never-ending conference call with corporate.
Face time video call capability is revolutionizing the way people do business around the world. With real time response, you will never have to wait for the screen to load or complain about experiencing technical difficulties. But face time isn’t just for business. When you are away on a business trip, you are able to chat with your family at home and see what your kids are up to, even if you can’t be there in person.
So, if you have been holding off on getting an iPad, now is the time! Pre-order one online today, because these amazing devices are sure to sell out fast!
