[The new iPad] has two cameras built into the rear and front of the device, both of which take photos and shoot video
The new device comes preloaded with a new app called Photo Booth, which allows people to take distorted photos of themselves and share them with friends
And users will also be able to use the iPad 2 to video call friends who have either an iPad 2, an iPhone 4 or the latest iPod Touch, using Apple Facetime
The iPad 2 is one third thinner than the first device and is slightly lighter
It will also be available in white for the first time, as well as the standard black.
Jobs said that Apple has installed a new chip inside the iPad 2 which makes the device run up to two times faster than the original iPad. The new chip also allows graphics to load up to nine times faster than the first device.
The technology company has also developed a new “smart” case for the iPad 2 which, as well as protecting the large screen, doubles as a stand so people can watch movies with greater ease. The new case hooks on to the hinges of the iPad 2 and folds up into a stand. Users will have to purchase the case separately.
So still no SD card, still no USB, still no HDMI**, still not even widescreen let alone HD, still shackled to iTunes, and still no 7" version.
(**edit: you can buy a $39 adaptor for HDMI output, which is a messy solution)
If you want a full-fat tablet, get a Xoom. If you just want a bit of browsing on the move, do what Valve did and get a Chinese no-name for a third of the price.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Nice summary
I still see it as a very niche product. If you want a multifunction device that's nice and small, get a smart phone. If you want to do more get a laptop.
I can see the point in it in some circumstances if you want a big screen but you don't want the weight of a laptop, but with all Apple devices, the lack of Flash is still a big problem. I know from browsing in 64-bit Linux which flash has a problem with, the sheer number of websites which assume you have flash installed and just won't work without it.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Nothing? Everything? I have no idea...
Anyway the real achievement here is that again Apple have released a product and it's headline news around the world, even gets a mention on Radio 1 this morning in the news. Yet another manufacturer comes up with the same - or arguably better, product, and they might be lucky to get a passing reference on Click or The Gadget Show at most.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Apple has a superb sales team. Dell is the lousiest I have ever encountered. Dell used to have a small counter at Chadstone Mall. I was considering upgrading at the time, sowalked up to the Dell stall. The guy was fiddling with the PC and ignored me. When I interupted him toask about the PC he looked dismissive. So I wanted a demonstration and asked if he had internet, and he rudely pointed behind and said "internet over there". Apple upstairs was exact opposite, showing me how to open the browser and encouraged me to surf the net. With that friendly attitude,Apple cannot fail. I nearly upgraded to Apple myself, but the price beat me.

It's in Apple's DNA that technology alone is not enough," [Jobs] told the crowd. "It's technology married with the liberal arts, married with the humanities that yields the results that make our hearts sing.
