iPad 2 finally here

Apple-authorised resellers nationwide are gearing up for the much-anticipated iPad 2 launch, expected to take place tomorrow.
For the past couple of weeks, a number of resellers have opened up bookings for the second generation iPad. Consumers can register and put in a certain deposit.
"This will guarantee that they will get the product once it's available. This will avoid disappointment as we are anticipating a very high demand for the iPad 2," said one reseller, who is expecting a sold-out launch of the product at its chain of outlets.
With the iPad 1 stock already running dry at most major reseller outlets, the shelves are ready to be filled with iPad 2.
This product has been gaining popularity since it was launched in the United States in March.
The iPad 2 is 33 per cent thinner than its predecessor, weighing just 601 grammes, compared with iPad 1, which weighs 680 grammes.
It will have more goodies, such as a dual camera and a host of apps that include iMovie, FaceTime, Garage Band and Photo Booth.
Under the "hood" is Apple's new iOS4 4.3, which is said to be faster and offers better processing power for running applications like video-conferencing, movies and games.
iPad 2 also offers HDMI support, which means that users can connect the device to a high-definition TV for a playback function of videos or pictures.
Previous iPad sales in Malaysia were split 50:50 between the Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi+3G models. For the iPad 2, the Wi-Fi+3G is expected to be more popular due to the availability of new features like FaceTimes and dual camera, which would be more practical with 3G services.
In terms of pricing, Malaysia is expected to be one of the cheapest places where you can get an iPad 2, with prices expected to range from RM1,500 for the 16GB WiFi variant to RM2,500 for the 64GB Wi-Fi+3G variant.
