iPad 2

The iPad 2 is here and has reestablished Apple's dominant position in the tablet market. Thinner than the iPhone 4, and with thousands of apps that Honeycomb is lacking, the iPad 2 has also been equipped with a dual core processor and faster graphics. The iPad 2 ships with iOS 4.3 and a Photobooth app that takes advantage of the iPad 2's (admittedly crappy) dual cameras. Unfortunately, the screen remains the same gaining neither quality nor resolution. It has gained, however widespread bleeding issues. The iPad 2 also features a new Smart Cover which magnetically attaches to the iPad and protects the screen. It attaches with magnets and automatically wakes and turns off the device. The Smart Cover will run you between $39 and $69 for either polyurethane or leather. To most users however, the lighter iPad 2 is a clear choice for customers waiting to get a tablet. This is just ..... magical.
Since the iPad 2 ships with a different SoC, a jailbreak has not yet been released to the public with no ETA.
