All the retailers reported running out of stock. Because the iPad 2 have almost no rival. Many dual-core Android tablets that delayed its release so that consumers are becoming impatient.

On the other hand, since the launch of the Apple iPad 2, the first generation iPad prices have dropped dramatically. Price iPad first generation is now equal to or less expensive than tablets Android. For example, the 3G 16GB iPad sold about Rp500.000 cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 16 GB. With a good mode of pricing and competition is minimal, I wonder if iPad dominate.

Unfortunately, this application can not be installed on the iPad 1. iPad 2 also can display the entire appearance on the external display, a function called mirroring. This feature is not yet available on the iPad 1.

However, the most significant feature difference may lie in the ability to jailbreak. Until now, Apple iPad 2 still has not been able to in-jailbreak. As we mentioned earlier, jailbreak allows you to install a lot of tweaks that Apple did not pass the filter, including the applet to avoid spies. If you want more freedom to use your Apple iPad, the best option today is the first generation iPad.
