Apple announced the iPad 2 in March, giving the popular tablet a dual-core Apple A5 CPU and two cameras (front and rear) in a thinner, lighter package - all with no change in price. The iPad 2 comes in black or white, and the 3G version is available for either AT&T or Verizon 3G networks.
Apple announced the iPad at the end of January in two versions - one with 3G and one without. The "without" version shipped in early April (500,000 the first week), and the 3G version was released in May.
Apple kept the iPad as an Apple Store exclusive for some time, but has now allowed a few other online and retail dealers to carry it as well. If you don't live near an Apple Store, you should be able to see the iPad in your local Best Buy, Target or, in a few days, Walmart. We hope to see more online sources in the near future.
The iPad runs the iPhone OS and iPhone/iPod touch apps. It uses a custom 1 GHz Apple A4 chip, essentially a modified Cortex A8 CPU with a graphics processor. It is available with 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB of flash memory both with and without 3G support.
