So Apple announced it today..what, no OMG post?!

Steve was there apparently. This looks like the iPad to get. March 11, 5pm..I'm going to be at the Apple Store I hope!

Apple A5. Dual-core, up to 2x faster. Graphics up to 9x faster. Same low power as A4. First dual-core tablet to ship in volume.

Front- and rear-facing cameras, built-in gyroscope, 33% thinner than iPad 1. 8.8 mm vs. 13.4 mm. Also lighter...moves from 1.5 lbs to 1.3 lbs.

Two colors: black and white. White is shipping from day one. Models for AT&T and Verizon, available from day one. Same 10-hour battery life

You forgot to mention that the pricing remains unchanged. laugh

Maybe sometime this year, I'll be able to afford one. This version is certainly more compelling than v1.

They just dropped the prices on the iPad v1 to $399 for the 16 GB wi-fi model (similar reductions on the rest of them). A refurbed unit can now be had for $349.

Now I buy myself an iPad! I need to go check out the white version first. This looks like a big performance upgrade ...

... and it's a business write-off. Love. It.

grin


And should also be mentioned, seeing pics of Steve Jobs today on stage making the announcement made me smile inside.

He still looks sickly to me. Whatever type of treatment he is receiving, it AIN'T working.
Also, the white iPad looks too sterilized. Makes me want to keep a dust rag next to it to rub off the dust, crumbs & finger oil smudges.
I wish the designers would bring back the rainbow colors like the G3 iMacs.

I think colors are long gone.

Last ANY mac had any colors was the Indigo Apple iMac G3/500 in 2003. Not sure why they don't have any other colors now except black & White. I remember how they advertised that computers were gray and so the colors were hip. Now? I think it is time to bring them back!

Well, actually here is your colors:
