iPad 2 to be launched on 2nd March


Apple has confirmed that it will launch the successor to it's iPad on march 2nd. This is great news that Apple will release the product in a week. Stay tuned for the updates on the day about the release and all.

I have now summarized from all the rumors and all what the iPad 2 would look like on it's release on march 2nd.

one of the main differences would be a front facing camera. This inevitably would be there as this was lacking in the first edition and was a reason for customers to complain about. Introducing a front camera would render the inevitable Facetime support.

The physical advantage of this iPad over the previous one would be it's weight. This one would be lighter and slimmer than the last one as iPad was criticized for it's weight. But the one thing that will get all the attention will be the display.

You can surely expect it to be improved. We can sometimes expect a Retina display. But then that will just simply blow away the competition. Making Retina display work in such a large screen would mean more pixels and more pixels would mean much lower battery life. Well that would not be impressive. But if Apple could manage the battery life, then it will be simply stunning.

The other thing is the processor. It is expected that Apple would make it Dual core as every key tablet in the market is running on dual core processors. Apple wouldn't want it's product to be inferior to any.

It is expected that iPad 2 processor design like Nvidia Tegra 2, will be based on ARM's A9 cortex 1GHz Dual Core processor which you will find in BlackBerry playbook. iPad 2 will also sport a three axis gyroscope like there is in iPhone 4 for better gaming experience. There are certain rumors that there will be a USB port or the new lightpeak technology in Macbook pro for importing photos and the like.

There are also rumors about them introducing expandable memory using SD card. Well if it happens it is good move from Apple's part.

We will know all about this on March 2nd. Stay tuned......
