Its Official! iPad2 is out for sale March 11.

Just browsed the news today. Steve Jobs lead in the unveiling of the new iPad2 at an Apple event in San Francisco March 12. According to the sources, the iPad pricing remains the same starting at US 499$. Basically the new iPad has

1. front and back camera.
2. has faster dual core A5 processor with lower power consumption.
3. has an hdmi connector to connect to a flat TV.
4. offers new colored cases with magnets and which put the iPad2 to sleep when not in use.
5. Two new softwares were introduced, the Garage band and new iMovie video software.
6. the iPad2 comes in two colors, Black or white.
7. Adding to the iPad2 requires a computer connection and syncing through iTunes.

We would have preferred that iPad introduces new usb slots. The new features will not make us run to buy the new iPad2. I hope that the original Samsung Galaxy tablet will still be available with a much much lower price thatn the 28,000 pesos it currently commands at some stores.

We hope that other manufacturers can lower their prices. We are keeping an eye on the Motorola Xoom!



The iPad2 is not revolutionary as when the first iPad came out.This is more of a gradual evolutionary improvement.
