发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Wed Mar 2 14:04:14 2011, 美东)
The new iPad 2 is one-third thinner than the first-generation model, just 8.
8mm thick, even thinner than the iPhone 4. At just 1.3 pounds, it is lighter
than the previous 1.5 pound iPad. It will carry the same starting price of
$499 for the entry-level 16GB Wi-Fi-only model.
The device will begin shipping in just over a week, on Friday, March 11, in
the U.S., while 26 more overseas countries will get the device on March 25.
It also has rear and front facing cameras for recording video, taking photos
, and FaceTime video chat. The new iPad also has a new A5 dual-core processo
r which offers up to 9 times faster graphics processing. Apple said the fast
er speeds of the new processor will not have any greater power consumption t
han the previous A4 processor.
The new iPad 2 will be available in two colors -- black and white -- and wil
l be available on both AT&T and Verizon 3G networks from day one. It also sp
orts the same 10-hour battery life.
A new accessory cable will also offer mirrored HDMI video out to HDTVs for 1
080p high-definition output. The $39 cable allows users to charge their iPad
while using the video out feature.
Another accessory announced by Apple is a magnetic "smart cover," which cove
rs the front of the device. Covering the front of the device automatically l
ocks the device, while taking it off will unlock it. Microfibers on the scre
en cover are said to clean the iPad 2 display, while magnets will automatica
lly align the cover on the screen.
A video demonstrating the abilities of the case, including using it as a sta
nd to prop up the iPad, was shown to the audience. Apple will sell a polyure
thane version of its case for $39, and a leather version for $69. |
