In a media event earlier today, Apple Inc. unveiled its iPad 2 tablet computer, the successor to the company's iPad. The announcement was made at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California. CEO Steve Jobs appeared at the event and introduced the new product, with FaceTime video messaging (with front and rear cameras) as well as a new dual-core Apple A5 processor.
The iPad 2 is an all new design and has several improvements over the original iPad. The device runs on an dual-core Apple A5 CPU. The CPU's new dual-core capability enhances multitasking. Apple additionally introduced a magnetic 'Smart Cover' accessory that snaps to the front screen of the device along with several new apps ported from the Mac OS X operating system and the iPhone. These include iMovie, GarageBand, and Photo Booth. The new iPad introduces front and rear cameras. The new tablet is 15% lighter and 33% thinner than the previous version - thinner than an iPhone 4. It will be available in black and white. The device continues to be capable of ten hours of battery life on a single charge.
The announcement comes after months of rumors about a successor to the original iPad. The device will be available in the United States on March 11, 2011, available in 16, 32, or 64 gigabytes. iPad 2's 3G model can connect to the wireless networks of both AT&T and Verizon Wireless and WiFi.
