So now that Apple has delivered on the camera what improvements can they make in a future version? They can improve the existing hardware but without any groundbreaking features current users will not run out to purchase the latest version.

I believe that in the next couple of weeks the general public will have purchased their new iPads and found all of the bugs and only then will we be able to see what features the new iPad will need. But will that allow enough time for Apple to integrate such features? They have to already be actively working on the iPad 3 and beyond. Only time will tell.

Major technical specs include a:
1GHz A5 cpu
Forward facing camera for Facetime.
Backward facing camera capable of recording HD(720p) content at 30 frames/second.

Unlike the original iPad launch, the iPad 2 will be available on both Apple iPhone carriers AT&T and Verizon. Apple brought the iPad to Verizon last year after it’s debut with AT&T.

The iPad 2 ships March 11.

As of right now I am writing this blog post from my new I pad. It takes a little getting used to but I am blown away by how well this device performs. So far I have installed quite a few apps and I am loving all of them. My goal is to replace my Macbook Pro that I normally use at school to lighten my load. I am not expecting to be able to do everything but basic web browsing and note taking should work great. I think it’s going to be pretty easy to do. Here are the apps that I am enjoying so far.

Desktop Connect:

By far my favorite app on the device. I am able to control Linux boxes, Apple Machines as well as Windows Machines remotely. This is a RDP and VNC remote desktop app. I really like the mouse control, you don’t directly control the mouse it’s different, but nice. Another cool feature is the auto-discovery of Windows and Apple devices that are advertising remote connections. All devices that are available show up on the left hand side.

Netflix:

I have never seen Netflix work so flawlessly. Within 30 seconds I was logged in and my movie was playing, almost instantly. The Netflix streaming catalog is growing every day. I was able to browse TV shows and Movies without any lag or slowness.

WordPress:

The next one was a tuff decision. What app would I use to keep up with the Twitter universe?
My first instinct was to download tweet deck. I was un-pleasantly surprised when I clicked on a link and I could not navigate to the Webpage. (It does work in portrait mode)

Twitteriffic:
This is a pleasant upgrade from Tweet Deck, it even makes cool bird sounds when its launched. It’s like pretty much every other Twitter Client you have access to a timeline with all your friends as well as re-tweet and reply. I really like the simple and easy to use interface.

Real Racing HD:

Everyone that I demo this app for is blown away by how well the device handles the game and how stunning the graphics are. The game play is solid although I would like some more control over the game. All you have access to is the brake, not the accelerator. Overall the game is a 9 out of 10.
