Apple iPad 2 Special Event 3/2/11 Part 2: iPad 2 is Unveiled

For our full coverage of the iPad 2 debut go to http://www.technomicon.com/TechChat/TechChat-3-7-11.html . In this part, Jobs takes the wrapper off the new iPad 2. It has almost everything we wanted and expected, a new faster dual core processor called the A5, front and back facing cameras similar to the iPhone 4, and updated OS (version 4.3), FaceTime and other new features. It's also 33% thinner, but with the same battery life. While the iPad 2 finally provides HDMI video output at 1080p it's not clear if the video output is really capable of 1080p. The demonstrations just showed video mirroring of the iPad 1024x768 pixel screen. This was a disappointment. Most really expected an upgraded screen resolution to something akin to the Motorola Xoom or better (so that it would finally be capable of displaying a native HD resolution such as 720p (1280x720). We'll have more on the new iPad 2 in the upcoming Tech Chat, which will debut in our all new, custom designed Web site next Monday. Look for it at http://beta.technomicon.com.

He says its completely redisigned well if you think of it all they did was add a camera made it thinner other than that its hard to tell the difference between the second and first ipad if you showed it to an average joe.
