It's here, iPad 2 was announced yesterday by none other than the man himself, Steve Jobs.
The Apple CEO said that they had been working on this product for a while now and he didn't want to miss it.
So let's get to it, The new iPad is smaller, how much smaller? A third smaller, you could pile three iPad 2s on top of each other and it would be the size of the iPad, it's thinner than the iPhone 4. 15% lighter, that's a whole lot of lightness. 9 times more faster, you can now game for longer. Dual Core processing, that's twice as much processing, and what's amazing is that it still holds 10 hour battery life and over a month on stand-by. But the question everyone asks how much? It retains the price of the first iPad at $499 a price hasn't been released yet but I'm guessing £429 like the old one.

So all in all the new Apple product is beautiful, and with Apple releasing iOS 4.3 it should be magnificent.
