Speed: The recently released iPad 2 includes a faster chip than the first iPad — Apple’s new dual-core A5 processor — which is meant to enhance its overall performance and graphics capabilities.
Thickness: The iPad 2 is noticeably thinner than the previous version of the tablet, at 8.8 millimeters, or about a third of an inch, rather than the previous 13.4 millimeters. It also has a more rounded back than the original iPad.
Weight: While the first iPad weighed around 1.5 pounds, the iPad 2 weighs closer to 1.3 pounds.
Cameras: The newest iPad includes two cameras for shooting pictures or video chatting — one on the back that can also record videos in 720p resolution and a lower-resolution one on the front. The iPad 2 will include Apple’s FaceTime video chat software.
