The iPad 2 Is Finally Here!
Coming straight from Apple’s keynote the iPad 2 is finally here and boy is it one heck of an upgrade. The cosmetic differences are a few and are as follows: It’s 33% thinner than the 1st generation iPad and boasts some mean looking speaker grills at the bottom. The iPad 2 also features a front facing VGA camera and a 720p 30fps video camera on the back which would come in handy for Facetime. The device also got a new CPU; the 1Ghz A5 dual core chip promises double the performance while the new GPU offers a 9x performance upgrade. The screen is the same; a 10.1 inch 1024×768 IPS display. The rumors promised a thunderbolt connector just like the one on the new MacBook Pros but instead we got a HDMI port which is capable of 1080p output. The prices are same as the original iPad (iPad 1 just got a price drop) starting at $499 for the Wi-Fi only iPad and going up to $829 for a 3G + Wi-Fi model with 64gb storage.
