The Apple iPad 2 is here. After all the build up, the speculation, the pondering, more speculation, the fan-boy flaming and the speculation, Steve Jobs took the stage today in San Francisco to unveil its second-generation iPad. To get you in the mood before the iPad 2 is officially in the shops, below are some of the official pics, alongside some specs peppered here and there for good measure. The new iPad is also 33 per cent thinner, with the 8.4mm frame even sleeker than the iPhone 4, and is down to 1.3 pounds (590g) in weight, which is around 15 per cent lighter than the first version. You can buy a Smart Case for the iPad 2, which has magnets inside that wake the tablet and also put it to sleep. The new iPad has Photobooth, alongside iMovie and an all-new GarageBand. There's a front and rear camera and the iPad 2 can also do FaceTime. The iPad 2 UK release date is 25 March and is priced from £499.
