  • Ok cool

  • iPad 2 crushed the xoom on the benchmark so ha!

  • More videos

  • @ckid032393 dude im just really upset that i lost everything i worked for on my old channel lol, i keep trying to make videos, there coming i just need something bog to happen

  • Hey when are you going to come out with

  • Don't even get me started on apple's version of multitasking that they're shoving down people's throats.

  • I chose the iPad2 over the Xoom because of 2 main factors. 1) iPad2 had the Wifi only model from launch. 2) I enjoyed the over all user experience of the iPad 2 over the other tablets. The specs are either close enough to where it didn't matter, like for example the CPUs or I didn't think the lesser specs mattered as much in the combined user experience, like the screen resolution, RAM and cameras. I'm not going to be taking pictures with tablet or have more than a couple of apps open.

  • Wow, the "stats" given from this review are pretty much taken from any number of Steve Jobs' speeches. The graphics are 9x times better? Can you give screen shot or video demos so we actually observe the difference? Flash is a "battery drain" ? How would you know unless there was a burn in test on the device itself? Also, wouldn't that suggest that other mobile platforms have stronger battery hardware since they support that software? The only thing inside is the A5 chip and big battery? Really?

  • @theday01 ok first off, the stats are true thats why i said them, flash does drain battery and other tablets do not have close to the battery capacity of this thing. and the only new additions to the device that people really will notice their work, was the a5 chip.....whats ur deal? lemme guess, your an android fan

  • @TheSalatarReport Actually, I don't own any Android products. In fact, I own more Apple products. I'm not a "fan" of any product brand. What I am a fan of is objective and unbiased reviews. There was no information given in this "review" that the official iPad 2 announcement didn't give. Also, there was no mention as to whether or not it is worth upgrading from the first iPad. A lot of people have the 1st gen iPad so I feel this is relevant. Btw, saying that it can replace a laptop is a stretch.

  • @theday01 its not a stretch, and its up to you to decide if you want to upgrade, i didnt have an ipad 1 so i dont know. You cant tell me i didnt have alot of information in this video....

  • @TheSalatarReport Honestly, stop bashing things you know nothing about. No other tablet comes close to battery life? I agree that none can match it but they are not that far off. You want stats? How about complete stats on products that are being "compared".

  • @TheSalatarReport Let's compare the Xoom and iPad 2. CPU: iPad2: 1Ghz Dual Core (rumors of cores running at lower clockspeeds) Xoom: 1Ghz Dual Core RAM: iPad2: 512 MB Xoom: 1 GB Storage: iPad2: 16,32,64GB Xoom: 32GB + MicroSD slot Screen: iPad2: 9.7" 1024x768 132 PPI Xoom: 10.1" 1280x800 160PPI Battery: iPad2: ~10hrs 25watt/hr battery Xoom: ~8-9hrs 24.5watt/hr battery Cameras: iPad2: Front: 0.3 Megapixel, Back: ~0.7 (1280x720) Megapixel Xoom: Front: 2.0 Megapixel, Back: 5.0 Megapixel
  • How is animated GIF playback? I don't know if Safari on iOS uses the same libraries as Safari on OSX does but on my unibody 13" MBP C2D 2.23Ghz, GIF playback uses a lot of CPU in Safari and sometimes freezes up especially when there are a lot of them on the screen at once. The thing is, the same pages load and the images play fine on Firefox and Chrome.

  • @nintendonick yea they move lol

  • @TheSalatarReport FUCK YEAH! thank you! no one could ever answer this question. I'll delete all these mess in a second, but last question i promise lol. how well did they animate? sluggish? smooth? or did it bring the ipad to its knees?

  • @nintendonick not at all, ran as smoothly as it did on my computer, you dont have to delete the comments though haha and it would be awesome if you subbed =D

  • @TheSalatarReport YIPEE! Again thanks. I go on message boards alot and sometimes they post silly or funny gifs and it wouldn't be the same if they didn't animate correctly. Can't wait! Tuesday can't come soon enough!

  • @nintendonick haha yea well if u have any more questions i would be happy to answer them

  • @nintendonick lol wtf

  • @nintendonick really lol? its aluminum thats so weird

  • IMO, not really a review. I am getting an iPad 2 but review videos shouldn't bash one and praise the other. It should provide useful information about the goods and bads of each competing brand. I have never given a bad comment on youtube before but I just couldn't stand watching this one any longer.

  • Comment removed

  • @mengy007 what information didnt i give? like seriously are u fucking kidding me? I literally covered every single aspect of the device, PLEASE tel me what i missed

  • @TheSalatarReport Hey, no need to get mad. I was simply expressing my opinion. The information you gave was correct and complete. I just didn't like all the bashing. It just sounds so typical. It doesn't have this or that but who needs that stuff anyways? Android this android that blah blah. It's a review video right? So I was just saying keep it at that. =]

  • @mengy007 well alot of people are going to be comparing this to android tablets, and this wasnt a review on an android device so i just made a few key points

  • @TheSalatarReport I agree. I compared a lot of tablets and chose the iPad 2 in the end. 1. I would have liked to hear numbers instead of simply, "the apple app store has thousands of apps, android? uhhh not even close". Also you didn't mention some important comparison points such as, most of the android tablets have superior cameras and higher resolution screens (not better). IMO it just sounds like a big apple ad with some android bashing thrown in.

  • @mengy007 well its true, android has literally NOWHERE near the amount of apps, not mentioning the exact number was doing the android market a favor lol, i think its like 1000 apps now.....And i didnt really look into screen resolutions or cameras on android so idk i wasnt really trying to bash it

  • @TheSalatarReport My point is that if you wanted to compare specs and numbers, it should have been fair and complete instead of half jokingly. Even if you didn't mean to, the message that I got was that everything apple is good and everything else is bad. This was a good video but a bit biased to say the least. In any case, I'm still getting the iPad 2 because honestly, the only piece of hardware+software that has come close to the responsiveness of apple's touchscreen is the new windows phone.

  • @mengy007 idk i wasnt looking to compare, just made a few points on the most complained about things

  • @TheSalatarReport Good times. I'm a bit disappointed with the iPad 2 rear facing camera but it is what it is.

  • Nice review, I would get a iPad 2 but it doesn't replace a laptop, its just another play thing. :(

  • @dwbcinemas honestly, its good enough to replace one lol

  • yeah me too! fuckin xcode that i don't know how to use, but feel cool having lol

  • @TheNerdW0rd was it just me or did it take like 5 hours to download?!?!

  • multitasking gestures= WIN

  • @TheNerdW0rd i had to pay 5 bucks for those =X lmao so worth it

  • and wtf is happening in the background? lol

  • @10cmdolan my fucking mom and sister were playing some game lol

  • @TheSalatarReport haha and ur face was like "fuuuuuuu......."

  • "and i might just get a boner..." HAHAAHA XD
