iPad 2 Released, Cameras, A5 Chip, White And Black Color, Faster Processor

Steve Jobs introduced the new iPad 2 to the world today with great fanfare. The unit is thinner, has a front and rear camera and is twice as fast.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs appeared at the event and announced it will include front and rear-facing cameras for video, a much faster processor and it will be "dramatically thinner."

The price will be the same, starting at $499, and it begins shipping in the U.S. on March 11 and March 25 internationally. The iPad 2 comes in both white or black versions, and both AT&T and Verizon will support it.
