We know the iPad 2 is faster than the orignal, but just how much faster? Nothing like a little visual comparison for some perspective. The video below shows the iPad 2 and original side-by-side, booting up, then launching various apps at the same time. The video was done by the same people who compared all 4 generations of the iPhone in a similar manner. In one surprise, the original iPad beats the iPad 2 time to shut down. It turns off a full 14 seconds faster.
A few numbers from the video:
| iPad 2 | Original ipad | |
|---|---|---|
| Cold boot up | 25.3s | 28.6s |
| Infinity Blade | 10.6s | 26s |
| Google Earth | 17s | 20.3s |
| Garageband | 3s | 6s |
| Angry Birds | 8s | 10.5s |
| Shut down | 26s | 12s |
