Apple officially announced the iPad 2 today with a new dual-core processor called the A5 and both rear and front-facing cameras. It is up to two times faster than the A4 chip and nine times faster graphics with the same amount of power consumption.
iPad 2 also has the gyroscope found in the iPhone 4 and the current-generation iPod Touch. iPad 2 is 33 percent thinner than the current model and weighs 1.3 pounds, and is even thinner than the iPhone 4: However The iPhone 4 is 9.3 mm thick while the iPad 2 is 8.8 mm thick.
It will be available in both white and black, with the white model available on day one (avoiding the fiasco that surrounded the while iPhone 4). There will be models that work with both AT&T and Verizon. iPad 2 will also have HDMI mirrored video output up to 1080p through a $39 accessory.
The price on the iPad 2 is the exact same pricing model as used for the original iPads starting out at $499 for a 16 GB Wi-Fi-only version and topping out at $829 for a 64 GB model with both Wi-Fi and 3G. Conceivably the iPad 2 will ship on March 11.
