Apple Unveils Redesigned iPad 2, A5 CPU
Apple showed off their redesigned iPad, the iPad 2, on Wednesday that features a new Apple-produced CPU, the A5, as well as dual cameras and a thinner form factor. Apple will start taking preorders for the iPad 2 on March 11, 2011. Pricing for the iPad 2 is very simple – it’s the same as the current and original iPad. We are fairly sure that pricing for the original will come down dramatically over the next few weeks, but for those that were waiting on the next-gen iPad, you will not have to wait too long to see them at your local AT&T, Verizon, or Apple Store.
iPad 2 comes with iOS 4.3, the latest version of the worlds most advanced mobile operating system, with new features including faster Safari mobile browsing performance; iTunes Home Sharing; enhancements to AirPlay;** the choice to use the iPad side switch to either lock the screen rotation or mute audio; and Personal Hotspot to share an iPhone 4 cellular data connection over Wi-Fi.*** Additional iPad 2 features include a built-in gyro for advanced gaming; HSUPA support for enhanced 3G upload speeds on iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G on AT&T, and HDMI Video Mirroring that lets users mirror their iPad screen on an HDTV using an optional adaptor.
