Well this *is* the competitor's forum afterall.

As you may or may not be aware, Apple has just announced the iPad 2.

It seems to have a mild spec bump from the previous generation:

• A5 proc (dual core)
• HDMI out via special cable ($39)
• 8.8mm thick
• rear facing camera
• front facing camera
• iOS 4.3

Interestingly, the new iPad *cover* looks to be the most exciting bit!

Quite innovative. In this man's opinion: I still wouldn't want it; that's what capacitive screens and gorilla glass are for.

Tighter app integration and new upgrades are also a welcome sight!

However, there seems to be a significant point of differentiation amongst 2011 tablets. Android tablets are distinctly more PC-like in their functionality, and iPad is distinctly more iPhone-ish. One could argue that they're further competitors than they once were.

Anyway, discuss.
