New iPad 2

Happy iPad 2 day! The Apple event is going to kick off in a few minutes (1PM Eastern time, 10am local) and we’ll be updating this page as soon as we hear what’s announced.

It has an all new design (33% thinner and cut down to 1.3lbs). It’s faster, thanks to the use of Apple’s A5 processor (which is 2x faster than before with 9x faster graphics).

Front/rear cameras were added as was a gyroscope. And, yes, it comes in white… from day one. The iPad 2 will support both AT&T and Verizon networks. It’ll have the same battery life, which means still 10 hours. The back camera is 720p at 30fps while the front is also 30 fps, but at VGA.
In iPad 2 you can customize your face be pretty look or ugly look. Your choice?!

The pricing in unchanged. The iPad 2 will start at $499 (16GB) and go up to $829 (64GB + 3G). There will still be 6 price points, depending on whether your not you get 3G and then now much storage you want (16, 32, or 64GB). It will be available March 11th in the US.

There will be new accessories: like a $39 HDMI connection that can charge and do video out (1080p) at the same time. There is a new case design, it’s actually just a smart cover for the screen. How smart you ask? The iPad 2 will auto sleep and auto wake based on it’s presences and it’s held on with magnets. It’ll come in leather ($69) and polyurethane ($39).
