iPad 2 Unveiled: Faster, Thinner, and Two Cameras

The new iPad is thinner, faster and features two cameras, as the early speculation had suggested. It is about the thickness of the iPhone 4, about half as thick as the first iPad. Graphics performance was improved, and a new chip called the A5 powers the device.

Two cameras are on the iPad 2, one facing the front and one facing the rear. They can capture video as well.

Apple will ship the new iPad 2 next week and it will be available in two colors—black and white—for the same prices as the original iPad, starting at $499.
