Apple iPad 2 Wi-Fi / Wi-Fi + 3G GSM / CDMA (16GB/32GB/64GB)

One year ago, pundits were split but surprisingly pessimistic regarding the prospects for the iPad (iLounge Ratings: A- (Wi-Fi) / B+ (3G)), Apple’s first tablet computer. Though the iPad possessed an intuitive multi-touch interface, unrivaled battery life, and an attractive design, some mocked its name, others declared it an oversized iPod touch, and many scoffed at the company’s claims that it was “magical and revolutionary at an unbelievable price”—adjectives that only Apple CEO Steve Jobs could combine in one phrase with a straight face. Yet he and those who saw the iPad’s potential were right: straight out of the gate, the iPad radically simplified computing for mainstream users, and instantly cut deeply into sales of similarly-priced PC netbooks. Over fifteen million iPads were sold in less than a year, forcing competitors to rush out inferior alternatives just to plant flags in the suddenly fertile tablet computer ground.

Behind the scenes, however, Apple faced a new challenge: following up on one of the most successful consumer product launches in history with something that would sustain the momentum. And quickly. So only eleven months later—faster than the company refreshed the original iPhone—Apple released the iPad 2 ($499-$829/16GB-64GB), a second-generation iPad that straddles the line between a true redesign of the original product and a more modest “spec bump,” akin to the ones annually performed for Mac computers. Just like the iPhone, iPod nano, and iPod touch before it, the iPad received a new enclosure for its second year on the market, complete with now-obligatory slimming curves and a modest decrease in weight. It also gains a few new features, including FaceTime cameras, speed-bumped chips, and a gyroscope. Finally, there are more options than before: three different wireless versions and two different colors for the same three original storage capacities. But almost everything else is the same, or at least, close enough that most users won’t notice.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Particularly after Apple upgraded its iOS software to version 4.2 last year, the original iPad got so much right that it wasn’t in need of huge improvements, and the new hardware added to iPad 2 addresses several issues that became apparent after the iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4G launches. While exciting, speculation that Apple would quadruple the resolution of its screen didn’t seem to be grounded in reality—at least, for now—though less ambitious but more practical improvements such as an integrated stand or redesigned, smudge-resistant face didn’t make the cut, either. Despite all the hype, iPad 2 is a modestly better revision of the first iPad, which like the iPhone 3G before it will be enough to keep the momentum going until a more dramatic redesign is ready.

Regardless, our staff purchased a total of seven iPad 2s for testing ahead of this comprehensive update to last year’s iPad hardware reviews. Since the core iPad experience has remained so similar from 2010 to 2011, our review of the iPad 2 focuses primarily on the differences between models, including performance differences between the Wi-Fi, GSM, and CDMA versions. You can still refer to our reviews of the original original iPad with Wi-Fi and iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G for additional details on prior applications, which remain largely the same in the new model. Enjoy.

Where do I even begin with this oh-so-popular restaurant?

My first dining experience at the Cheesecake Factory  was somewhere around 2003 in Chicago, Illinois, and I was just blown away by the architecture. The outrageous curves of the art nouveau architecture really sets the mood. And you want selection? There’s two pages ofjust appetizers. TWO pages! Just check out all the mouthwatering selections online if you have a moment. I haven’t even tried a tenth of their menu, and yet it remains one of my favorite places to eat. 98% of all the trips I take to chicago must include The Cheesecake Factory somewhere. Go for the cheesecake, stay for the food, never a disappointment!

This past weekend I was visiting Chi-town for an interesting exhibit on a popular wizard at the Museum of Science and Industry when the opportunity presented itself to dine at TCF. When we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted by air conditioning (which was gladly welcomed due to the heat index being over 100º that day) and a mere 15 minute wait for a table. I was ecstatic at the wait time because I’ve always had to wait over an hour.
I sat oogling at all the goodies on their extensive multi-paged menu and already knew that whatever I ordered must be a small enough portion to be able to enjoy a big piece of cheesecake at the end. After contemplating and not being able to decide, I chose to go with two appetizers, one to share and one for my entree.

Our pre-dinner appetizer was the fried mac and cheese. These delectable little devils were definitely not low-fat or low-cal but they were very high-delish. The menu did not give out the secret to what ingredients were inside their crispy shells, but my guess is some sort of mellow goat’s cheese, a little cheddar, and mini penne pasta. They were served on a creamy marninara sauce that was a perfect pairing for such a thing. I could’ve easily made these my meal.

For my entree I got the Crispy Crab Wontons, which are similar to crab rangoons. I have gotten these before and loved them. This time the recipe was slightly different and they weren’t as I expected, but still tasty nonetheless. I wish I would have ordered a small plate, but that just means I get to go back and try some more! I was glad I went with another appetizer when I saw my dinner mates’ plates. The portions at this place are HUGE!
My baby-cakes ordered a Kobe beef burger (U.S. Kobe). It was our first experience with Kobe beef and I do say the meat was very tender and the burger had quite the charbroiled flavor to it. If you are unfamiliar with Kobe beef, check out this article . I find the entire practice quite fasinating. U.S. Kobe beef uses the same cow breed, but they are cross bred with Angus cows to meet demand, and fed less expensive feed. I would love to try authentic Japanese Kobe beef sometime. We saw it on the menu of a restaurant in Las Vegas, $93.00 for a 6 oz portion!
For dessert I ordered my favorite (so-far): Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake. Now I’m not the biggest fan of cheesecake…but I LOVE Cheesecake factory cheesecake. It’s so creamy and rich. When I received my cheesecake slice I dove right in and then realized I hadn’t taken a picture yet. I was so excited to try it I forgot to shoot it! So here is a shot of an already-well-enjoyed cheesecake!
