Apple officially unveiled the iPad 2 today. The new tablet is scheduled to come out on March 11.
Along with a slimming design, the iPad 2 comes packed with plenty of upgrades. Among them are a new dual-core CPU that is twice as fast as the original, and graphics performance up to nine times better than the current device.
Some aspects remain unchanged though, including the screen resolution (1024×768), the battery life (approximately 10 hours), and the price. The 16GB WiFi-only model will cost $499 with increasing prices for more upgraded versions.
What does this mean for gamers? With the original iPad’s release, Apple promised that gaming would be a primary focus for the device. The company delivered, offering all kinds of games on the new platform. It seems likely that Apple will continue that trend with the iPad 2.
