Steve Jobs yesterday in San Francisco introduced iPad™ 2, the updated version of its tablet device used for browsing the web, watching video clips, listening to musica,reading electronic books and newspapers. According to a statement jointly signed by the company’s media specialists Trudy Muller and Simon Pope, they explained: “iPad 2 features an entirely new design that is 33 percent thinner and up to 15 percent lighter than the original iPad, while maintaining the same stunning 9.7-inch LED-backlit LCD screen.”
The Apple media specialists added :”iPad 2 features Apple’s new dual-core A5 processor for blazing fast performance and stunning graphics and now includes two cameras, a front-facing VGA camera for Face Time® and Photo Booth®, and a rear-facing camera that captures 720p HD video, bringing the innovative Face Time feature to iPad users for the first time”.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs came out of his medical leave to launch iPad 2, and was outstanding, and was given a rousing reception by every body at the launch venue.
On the impact of the iPad, Muller and Pope noted: “With more than 15 million iPads sold, iPad has defined an entirely new category of mobile devices,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “While others have been scrambling to copy the first generation iPad, we’re launching iPad 2, which moves the bar far ahead of the competition and will likely cause them to go back to the drawing boards yet again.”
The Apple media specialists then explained that :”With the new front and rear cameras, iPad 2 users can now make Face Time calls to millions of iPhone® 4, iPod touch® and Mac® users so they can see family and friends anywhere there is Wi-Fi. Photo Booth lets you apply fun visual effects, including eight photo special effects like Squeeze, Twirl, and Kaleidoscope, to photos captured by either camera”.
Clearly, Apple is facing intense competition from Google whose Android operating system is powering several credible challengers like Motorola Zoom and Samsung Galaxy tablet.Andoid powered devices have now becoming so pervasive and because they are free and enjoy the support of several manufacturers they are likely to trump Apple in market share soon.
