This video of side-by-side speed tests shows typical iPad usage, things like booting, launching various apps, and shutting down. You’ll see the iPad 2 excels in most areas but lags, oddly, in shutting down. If you don’t want to watch the video, here are the raw numbers and the tests:</p> <p><strong>iPad 2 vs iPad Real World Speed Tests</strong></p> <ul> <li>Booting: 25.3 vs 28.6</li> <li>Launching Infinity Blade: 10.6 vs 26</li> <li>Launching Google Earth: 17 vs 20.3</li> <li>Launch Garage Band: 3 vs 6</li> <li>Launching Angry Birds: 8 vs 10.5</li> <li>Shutting Down: 26 vs 12</li> </ul> <p>Obviously this test is nonscientific and there’s nothing too groundbreaking here, but it’s interesting to watch anyway. Sure there are improvements in general speed and functionality, but I think we have yet to really see apps that really take advantage of the improved <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/02/ipad-2-specs/">iPad 2 hardware specs</a>.</p> <p>Thanks for sending this in Davis!</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/gSxez1tByeT6mxide2TVKvY1VX8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/gSxez1tByeT6mxide2TVKvY1VX8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/gSxez1tByeT6mxide2TVKvY1VX8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/gSxez1tByeT6mxide2TVKvY1VX8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Jfvl88YXsuE:f7iX65CjQ6o:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Jfvl88YXsuE:f7iX65CjQ6o:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=Jfvl88YXsuE:f7iX65CjQ6o:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Jfvl88YXsuE:f7iX65CjQ6o:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=Jfvl88YXsuE:f7iX65CjQ6o:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Jfvl88YXsuE:f7iX65CjQ6o:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Jfvl88YXsuE:f7iX65CjQ6o:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/Jfvl88YXsuE" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
