- Apple says the battery life will be unchanged - up to 10 hours.
- It will feature a dual-core A5 processor.
- The iPad 2 will have two cameras. The front-facing VGA camera for FaceTime and a rear-facing camera that will capture 720p HD video.

So what is unique in the iPad 2....
Two cameras. And a big hello to FaceTime for iPad.
You’ll see two cameras on iPad — one on the front and one on the back. They may be tiny, but they’re a big deal. They’re designed for FaceTime video calling, and they work together so you can talk to your favourite people and see them smile and laugh back at you.3 The front camera puts you and your friend face-to-face. Switch to the back camera during your video call to share where you are, who you’re with or what’s going around you. If it’s worth filming, let the back camera roll. It’s HD, so every movie you shoot is a mini-masterpiece. And you can take wacky snapshots in Photo Booth. It’s the most fun a face can have.
iPad Smart Cover. Designed for iPad. And vice versa.
iPad 2 and the iPad Smart Cover are made for each other. Literally. We designed the iPad Smart Cover to work side-by-side with iPad — and on top and underneath it too. Smart magnetic technology built into each really pulls them together. The iPad Smart Cover falls perfectly into place and stays put to protect your iPad screen, yet doesn’t add bulk to its thin, light design. Open the Smart Cover and your iPad wakes up instantly. Close it and your iPad goes to sleep automatically. And here’s another smart part: it transforms into the perfect film-watching, game-playing, web-surfing stand. It comes in 9 bright colours — including four in rich, aniline-dyed Italian leather. Choose your favourite, and your iPad will be smart all round.
Conclusion:
iPad 2 definitely looks like a worthy upgrade over the original iPad. But unlike the original iPad, Apple's new tablet will face real competition in both the consumer and business markets. Motorola's highly-touted Xoom, one of many Android 3.0-based slates expected to ship this year, will be available this week from Verizon Wireless. The Galaxy Tab 10.1, a larger version of Samsung's original 7-inch tablet, debuted last week at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It also runs Android 3.0 and will ship in some markets in June.
Meanwhile, Research In Motion (RIM) plans to launch versions of its 7-inch PlayBook tablet for LTE (Long-Term Evolution) and 3G HSPA+ networks by the end of the year.WiMax and Wi-Fi editions of Playbook should be available next month. And Hewlett-Packard will ship its WebOS-based TouchPad tablet this summer.
With much improved hardware yet the same exact prices as the last generation iPad, Apple should continue to dominate the tablet space. We are definitely excited about iPad 2.
