Apple CEO Steve Jobs Introduces the iPad 2

The iPad 2 is a third thinner than its predecessor, which means it's even thinner than the iPhone 4. With its improvements, the iPad 2 will have a same battery life, storage and pricing as the older iPad, starting at $499.

Apple's second-generation iPad features a 1GHz A5 dual-core processor, front- and rear-facing cameras, up to 1080p video out support via HDMI, a 9.7-inch screen with 1024-by-768 resolution, 10 hours of battery life, an accelerometer and three-axis gyroscope, and separate GSM (AT&T) and CDMA (Verizon) 3G connectivity options.
