Apple CEO Steve Jobs makes surprise appearance to unveil the second generation of iPad, the iPad2. The new iPad2($500-$829) is thinner(33% thinner than the original), lighter than the current iPad. “The new iPad 2 is actually thinner than your iPhone 4,” Jobs said. It features faster dual-core A5 processors (2x faster than the original, faster graphics, front and rear cameras, 10 hours of battery life, and the same 9.7-inch LED-backlit LCD screen. And the iPad 2 will work on AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Apple also introduced two accessories: an HDMI out cable($39) for video mirroring up to 1080p and a “Smart Cover” that magnetically attaches to the iPad and when open automatically wakes the screen and goes back to sleep upon closing.
