Apple on Wednesday unveiled the iPad 2, showing off a handful of upgrades intended to cement the tablet's market-leading position.
With dual cameras (front and back), an upgraded A5 processor, support for HD video recording and playback, and a thinner profile, the iPad 2 looks to be a worthy successor to the first model.
The iPad 2 will be available for purchase starting March 11, Apple said.
Despite the increased power, Apple claims that the new iPad will have the same battery life as the first model: 10 hours of active use and about a month of standby.
It does not have several features that competing, Android-based tablets offer, such as a USB port or SD card reader.
The new iPad will come in two colors (black and white), will offer 3G data connectivity from AT&T or Verizon as an option, and will have the same starting price as the first model ($500 for a Wi-Fi only 16GB version).
We'll have close-up photos and hands-on impressions shortly. In the meantime, enjoy these images of the iPad 2 and Apple executives that we shot at the press event Wednesday.
