It’s 33% thinner and 15% lighter than the original iPad, but the screen size remains the same.
Apple says the battery life will be unchanged – up to 10 hours.
It will feature a dual-core A5 processor.
The iPad 2 will have two cameras. The front-facing VGA camera for FaceTime and a rear-facing camera that will capture 720p HD video.
The new device will come in 2 colors. Oh yes. The mythical white iPad will be available on the first day of sales, says Jobs.
The iPad 2 will run on both AT&T and Verizon’s 3G networks.
It includes a new Smart Cover that offers screen protection and doubles as a stand.
A built-in gyro.
HDMI video mirroring, which will let you mirror your iPad screen on an HDTV.
