Here it is folks, the iPad 2. Steve Jobs has just unveiled the brand new tablet at Apple’s press conference, and there’s a few surprises in store. Read on for for the full details.
It looks like some of those iPad 2 leaks were on the money: the new iPad 2 has a thinner 8.8mm profile, plus a dual core A5 processor, and both rear and front facing cameras. It’s slimmed down on the scales too, clocking in at 1.3lb instead of 1.5lb. It looks like the screen on the iPad 2 hasn’t changed however, though magnets have been built into the device to work with Apple’s new accessories.
What not all the tipsters however, managed to leak one tidy bit of news: the iPad 2 will ship in black and white “from day one” as Jobs jokes – and for the same price as the original iPad was at launch.
Apple has also announced two new accessories. The first is a $39 HDMI connector that pumps 1080p video through the USB connector on the iPad 2. The second is a series of leather and polyurethane solvers with magnets inside, which snap down and peel off very easily. They will both ship in five colours, priced at $69 and $39 respectively.
The iPad 2 launches on 11 March in the US, and 25 March in “high volume countries”, which should include the UK. Are you excited?
