iPad 2

Apple CEO Steve Jobs has earlier announced the successor to the iPad, the all new new iPad 2.

There have been major changes in the iPad 2. The first and foremost one is the A5 CPU. New chip with 1GHz dual core processor, which delivers 2 times CPU and a whopping 9 times Graphics capacity. Well that makes it great to play games on.

Well making the processor dual core has it's own advantages like you get a super cool phone with high end CPU performance. The core OS and all is still the same, but you would get a thundering speed increase and also the graphics is highly enhanced.

And the other thing with this is that it is thinner than the last version. The last iPad was 13.4mm thick and you know what they have reduced the thickness of the current version to just 8.8mm. Massive decrease in size. They also decreased the weight from nearly 1.53gm to just 1.3gm.

The earlier version of the iPad was criticized for it's weight and thickness. Now it's much more thin that it's great to hold it in your hand.

They also introduced a front VGA camera and rear primary camera capable of recording 720p videos. Also the former iPad lacked a gyroscope which has been included in this one, meaning much improved gaming experience.

Another thing is that you get both the black and white variants of iPad form day 1 onwards and the shipping starts from March 11. The price starts from 499$. Apple has announced they will provide both AT&T and Verizon models for the iPad 2.
