today's unboxing video will feature Buzz Lightyear to the rescue this is
0:12
cameraman's keys so we've got his uh I don't even know what brand that is is
0:16
that Subaru Subaru right yeah okay he's
0:19
nodding Subaru we've got his Subaru key and then his Subaru remote for his uh
0:25
evidently Subaru car today I will be unboxing
0:30
and hold on don't reach for the dislike button just yet I know you guys hate
0:34
this but just deal okay there's a good reason for this today I will be unboxing
0:38
the iPad 2 this is the 16 gig Wi-Fi
0:43
version so it does not have 3G okay I'm
0:47
going to take off the package just like that and then I'm going to open it up I
0:52
have actually never used an iPad Beyond
0:55
like you know a couple minutes here and there uh comparing screens against the
0:59
trans forer for example and having someone kind of lean over and show me
1:04
what they're doing on their iPad too and it looked interesting so here we go you
1:08
can feel free to look down at any time and then they're here now so hold on
1:12
okay sorry about that guys we got interrupted so I have never unboxed an
1:16
iPad 2 before so here we are here it
1:21
is okay so there's the iPad now it is
1:25
not marked in any way as an iPad 2 it's just called an iPad Pad but it's better
1:31
and more faster and more thinner so okay oh there we go okay so it comes apart
1:35
like that okay iPad so this is the Black
1:39
Version you can see the screen is quite shiny I don't know if it'll turn on
1:44
right off the Hop here might not be charged yeah it's charged okay all right
1:49
screen turns on got your little little Apple logo got your camera for FaceTime
1:55
because the iPad 2 does support a front-facing camera for FaceTime okay
1:59
just looking at the back you can see it has that uh proprietary Apple connector
2:04
there got a speaker got uh black Apple
2:08
logo iPad this is a 16 gig model OKAY
2:12
over here we got some volume adjustment we got that I believe that locks the
2:15
orientation or something like that does it cameraman might know yeah he knows
2:19
and it does okay uh there's your power button headphone jack up here that looks
2:23
like a microphone and finally the rear-facing camera which I actually
2:27
really like the rear facing camera is pretty pretty decent on the IP had too
2:30
okay so uh it wants me to plug in or
2:34
something okay well we'll worry about that later okay other packaging here
2:38
designed by Apple in California that's key Apple wants you to know that it's
2:43
designed by them in California oh and look at that we've got
2:47
a little diagram of what everything is but I
2:50
already showed you all that oh that's silent camera menu were wrong that
2:55
doesn't that doesn't lock the orientation it's silent mode maybe you
2:58
can change the functionality of it I think that was one of the things they introduced with some version of
3:03
something was that you could change what things did okay oh we have Apple
3:07
stickers okay let's let's go find something really ironic to put one of
3:11
these Apple stickers on okay follow me so I'm just going to go into the tech
3:15
tips room and I'm going to find something that makes absolutely no sense
3:19
whatsoever and I'm going to put this apple sticker on
3:22
it h gaming motherboard
3:26
maybe ooh how about a GTX 59
3:32
just for fun just for Giggles here guys so I'm going to take my GeForce GTX
3:39
590 I'm going to put that on it yeah how wrong is that okay there I
3:46
had my fun let's go back and finish our
3:52
unboxing so next we will find a power cord charger cord both all right there's
3:59
your St standard one this is the one that doesn't have the the releases on
4:02
the side so it just plugs and plugs and unplugs right in all right we have a
4:07
little wall adapter for the power cord so this
4:10
is just an AC to 5vt I think it's 5vt
4:14
whatever USB power adapter all right just looks a little something like that
4:18
tucks in there so elegant
4:22
right that comes off so you can put on a different one if you so desired but I
4:27
don't last but not least we have we have a piece of
4:33
plastic yeah okay and it was glued down
4:36
so we weren't meant to take that out okay so why do I have an iPad 2 I have
4:42
an iPad 2 so that I can start doing a little bit more tablet coverage and For
4:46
Better or For Worse whether you guys like it or not the iPad 2 is the market
4:49
leader right now so I'm going to be doing some more coverage of Android 3.0
4:55
and I wanted to have something to compare it against so I picked myself up
4:58
an iPad now I will be able to show you guys all the comparisons that you
5:03
actually do care about and all I had to
5:06
do was obtain something that you don't care about in order to do it so I hope
5:10
you enjoyed my unboxing and uh I'm I'm
5:13
kind of interested to see what the like to dislike ratio is on this video
5:17
because the last time I did something you get this you guys just kill me
5:21
sometimes this thing right here the Mia which is actually a pretty
5:26
cool little product basically it's a wireless uh HDM Mi I and wireless USB
5:31
hub thing just because their box talks
5:36
an awful lot about how it's Matt compatible you guys rip me to shreds
