Apple Announces iPad 2 and iOS 4.3

Yesterday Apple announced the iPad 2 along with a number of updates software updates including iOS 4.3. Stories from MacRumors here:

• Apple Announces iPad 2: A5 Dual Core, 2 Cameras, Thinner - Mac Rumors


• Tidbits: iPad 2 Mic, No iOS 4.3 for CDMA iPhone, iMovie and GarageBand Compatibility - Mac Rumors

Bottom line with iPad 2, lighter, thinner, and faster. Now it has a front and back camera and a version of iMovie to make movies on your iPad 2. The device goes on sale in the US March 11.



The iOS update is huge for one reason: Wifi Hotspot support for the iPhone. Finally! I've been wanting this feature since the iPhone 4 came out. The new iOS will also come out March 11.
