The biggest surprise at Apple iPad 2 launch event was the fact that Steve Jobs was there to present it. Jobs walked out to a thunderous standing ovation and stated, “We’ve been working on this product for awhile, and I didn’t want to miss it.”
The $499 device is thinner than the iPhone 4, twice as fast as the last tablet, camera-equipped, and ships March 11 in the United States and March 25 in 26 more countries. The surprisingly fast roll-out highlights the fierce competition in the tablet market.
The iPad 2 is very much a video device. The resolution is the same, the price is the same and the battery life is the same. The new feature is a front and back facing camera which was not available on the original iPad.The biggest surprise at Apple iPad 2 launch event was the fact that Steve Jobs was there to present it.

The iPad 2 is very much a video device. The resolution is the same, the price is the same and the battery life is the same. The new feature is a front and back facing camera which was not available on the original iPad.Apple has used in-house designed dual-core 1GHz A5 System-on-Chip processor inside the second generation tablet. It's capable enough for multi-tasking, video recording, FaceTime video calls and loads Apps faster. The Graphics core boosts nine times better visual performance compared to the first generation iPad, TechTree reports.
The second generation iPad 2 will have 3G network support along with Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. Apple has shelled out a new HDMI cable connector that promises 1080p HD video output when connected to the proprietary 30-pin dock connector port on the iPad 2.Additionally, iMovie is now available on the iPad 2, and is specially designed to make it easy to edit videos on a tablet format. Facetime, which has been available since the launch of the iPhone 4, is now available on the iPad 2, too, and can perform videoconferencing between both iPhone and iPad 4 devices. Garageband for the new iPad will allow you to plug in instruments, add effects and record up to 8 tracks.
Apple also unveiled a new cover that snaps onto the device using built-in magnets on the iPad2. The cover rolls back and acts as a stand for watching video and to allow for easier tapping. The cover also has a microfiber surface on the inside that helps keep the iPad 2 surface cleaner.

Dear Pankaj
Hmm...apple i-pad 2 seems promising especially with 3G feature. Great. It's not far that the entire world would understand only one language and that would be the language of click. It industry is really taking everybody with surprises. May it continue to do so.
Good one.
Keep me informed about the latest ventures.
Bye.
Dear Mohit
I totally agree with you that the whole world would understand the language of a click. It's not too far when we'd be living in a totally computerised world. where i think every person or every second person would be having tablet PCs in their hands, when sixth sense technologies should have come into existence.
bt i also think it(technology) is becoming vry addictive. now we cannot think of something without technology. Imagine someday all the servers went down in the world and you are completely out of your virtual world,your virtual identity, when your lappie is not more than a dummy to you, when you cant surf the internet, when you cant do facebooking to your friends, when you feel like you have completely lost your world..........What would happen at that time...?
Dear Pankaj
This was something I was expecting from you. This is what I really wanted to hear from you. Do you know what is this situation called? This is called 'apocalypse now'. I think there is still a time but the day is not far away.
Anyways, good rebuttal.
bye
keep writing...
