The upgrade of the hardware and software of the iPad 2 made it a god-like device when it comes to web browsing experience and JavaScript. The new tablet proves that it’s one of the smartest and the most tempting device that will soon conquer the PC tablet market. This is a seriously cool piece of kit, bringing a whole host of improvements that, individually, may not sound like much, but put together take the revolutionary device onto a whole new plane. The company’s newest tablet is actually thinner and lighter than the first model. It also includes a front-facing camera for video conferencing, more memory and a more powerful graphics processor.

One of the improvements that critics and spectators noticed during the demo of the iPad 2 is that it runs JavaScript four times faster than the original tablet. This performance is said to be made possible with iOS 4.3?s new Nitro’ JavaScript engine that is on the next-gen tablet, followed by its dual-core Apple A5 processor.

Based on the test conducted by CNET UK, the iPad 2 outsmarted its predecessor, the iPhone 4, and other Android device like Google Nexus S and Galaxy Tab. iOS 4.3 also enhances the features of the original device on the iPad 2 making it a device to beat.

Further testing also shows that another device that uses iOS 4.3 Nitro JavaScript engine can deliver three times faster performance in JavaScript, but still trailing the performance of the new tablet.

The release of the iPad 2 will improve the web experience of the users who often use websites that rely on JavaScript, one of which is Facebook. For those who will stick with their original tablet, there’s no need to worry since upgrading the device with iOS 4.3 will make it faster particulary in opening heavy web pages.
