In a recently concluded event by Apple, Steve Jobs announced the second generation tablet they simply called the iPad 2.
Apple iPad 2
1GHz Apple A5 chip Dual-Core processor
9.7″ display @ 1024×768 pixels
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR
UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (3G model)
720p Back Camera @ 30fps video recording
VGA front-facing camera
Three-axis gyro
Accelerometer
Ambient light sensor
Assisted GPS
It’s only 8.6mm thin, much thinner than the 9.3mm iPhone 4. The older iPad is about 13.4mm thick (so the new one is about 1/3 thinner). The 2 built-in cameras now allow for the iPad to run FaceTime. Same 10 hours of battery life on a single full charge.
The prices of the new iPad 2 will follow the previous SRP of the first generation Apple tablets, as follows.
iPad 2 Prices
16GB WiFi – Php23,990
32GB WiFi – Php28,990
64GB WiFi – Php33,990
16GB 3G+WiFi – Php30,990
32GB 3G+WiFi – Php35,990
64GB 3G+WiFi – Php40,990
There might be some discrepancies with the final price due to fluctuations in the forex rates.
The iPad 2 will be released in the US on March 11 with additional 25 more countries by March 25. Unfortunately, the Philippines is not among them (are we waiting another 9 months to see it being released in the country again, just like the first one?).
I wonder if IPAD2 will support the use of SD via the USB-port adapter.
Yes there is skyfire for flash vids but that is limited to that no flashy website or flash games. But hey this thing is super tempting! I found our there’s also imitation camera connection kit that’s more affordable than the original if you have connectivity issues its 3in1 pa nga don’t know pa where to buy though. Heck I’m surfing on this bb torch npagtygaan q without flash why not on this ipad2 I guess ditch this bb for galaxy s. But as they say new tablets will emerge, ending is we consumers are spending money and technology keeps on changing!

Well matagal pa ito dumating dito sa pinas…tama yung ibang post dito na marami pang pedeng mangyari sa tablet world…perhaps pagdating ng Ipad2 dito, sapaw na yung technology ng Ipad 2 sa ibang updated tablets na lumabas before sila.
