iPad2 and iOS4.3 launched

Well it's been a year, but now iPad2 is finally here. With two cameras and Facetime [video calls], groovy smart covers, thinner, faster processor, better battery, same prices as iPad1. Looks good.

Australia launch - 25 March. See you bright and early at the AppleStore. You bring the coffee, OK?

 

Also announced recently - iOS4.3 which will include

  • Home sharing, whereby you can stream music/movies/podcasts, from your computer to your iOS device [iPod, iPhone, iPad] over WiFi
  • customizable side switch - can be configured to stop screen rotation or mute sounds
  • on iPhone4 you can create a personal hotspot to share your 3g connection with your WiFi devices [wonder if the telcos will hobble that?]
  • faster Safari
