Expect a Rush for the New and Improved iPad

It's the gadget every tech junkie has been waiting for. Apple CEO lifted the lid on the long awaited, highly anticipated second generation iPad at a conference in San Francisco.  The iPad 2 doesn't seek to reinvent the successful original which has sold more the 15 million units and started a race towards developing tablet computers. The new iPad refines everything that made the iPad so popular. However, a few features were added that users felt were missing from the original device.

Now available in black and white in 3G and 3G Wifi versions, the iPad2 is 8.8mm thick and weighs in at 117g lighter than the original. It now features a dual core processor and better graphics card. Cameras mounted on both the front and back of the Apple iPad 2 can be used for video calling services.

The iPad will be released on March 11 in the US and March 25 in Australia.
