Apple unveiled its anticipated follow up to the popular iPad. Steve Jobs came back from medical leave to show off the new iPad that's thinner, lighter, faster and still the same price as the original. While other manufacturers struggle to release tablets at the same price point as the iPad, Apple seems to have struck gold with its tablet. The original iPad sold 15 million units, and Apple has managed to pack in many new features for the same price.
There are two more small additions on front and back, which are cameras that can be used to shoot pictures and video as well as video chat over FaceTime. The iPad 2 can FaceTime chat with iPhone and Mac users as well as other iPad 2 users. Inside, the iPad has gone through a few changes as well. The new dual-core A5 processor has significantly boosted the tablet's speed and graphics performance. Even more exciting, the pricing scheme has stayed exactly the same: $499 for 16GB Wi-Fi-only all the way up to $829 for 64GB 3G-capable.
The iPad 2 is set for a March 11 launch date in the U.S., with releases in 26 more countries on March 25. Even though the white iPhone still hasn't appeared, there will be a white iPad 2 available at launch. Both the white and black versions will also be available on AT&T and Verizon. Technews Daily
