Here it comes, iPad 2 being announced!

Dual Core CPU, 2x faster

9x faster graphics

33% thinner, lighter too

What does that even mean?

9x faster graphics than the iPad 1 would be my guess.

Faster graphics as in better graphics? I highly doubt it's 9x more powerful than the iPad. Apple likes to be ambiguus, that's for sure.

Its 9X faster at not being able to show you flash!

Seriously though, Its not hard to be 9X faster than ipad as that device was ancient specs wise. Especially considering they did not change the resolution. Speed isn't a selling point for the ipad at all...

Things which are cool about Ipad2 are front and rear cameras, thiner, 499 price, and HDMI connectivity (through a dongle)

Sounds like they fixed some stuff that was wrong with the original iPad. What makes me sad is that I'm typing on one right now bought just two months ago.

No, I lie, I lie. You can't post with an iPad last time I checked, though you can comment. The flaw is with the site I guess.

it's good upgrade and they did not up the price. It's really not a big deal to me as this can't replace my laptop yet. But, it will sell.

No mention of RAM anywhere. Not even on the official spec sheet on apple.com. I take this to mean it has the same 256MB, which is a little disappointing. On the other hand, the fact it runs iMovie suggests that it must at least match the iPhone 4's 512MB.

I'll probably end up getting one just for the always-available mirrored video out. It's a feature that the first one should have had, but instead it's restricted to only some apps. the bass-ackward part is that the systems I want to output to don't even support HDMI, so I might have to use two adapters. Ugh.

It's over.

Nice upgrades for the same price. Great great deal.

I think the cover seems pretty cool. Why can't other companies think of simple stuff like that? Hopefully they will license it so people can make custom covers.

Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
