Steve Jobs hit the stage today at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco to launch(发布) the iPad 2. Jobs says it's a whole new design, with a dual-core(双核) 2X faster CPU, 9X faster graphics. Same low power as A4, with same 10-hour battery life. There are two cameras, front and rear as speculated(跟推测的一样). But it's 33 percent thinner: 8.8mm thick. It ships March 11 — for the same prices, starting at $499. International roll-out is March 25.
"This thing's going to be everywhere in the month of March," says Jobs. 
"It's thinner than an iPhone 4," says Jobs. And lighter too, at 1.3 lbs(磅). There's now a built-in(内置的) gyroscope(回转仪) along with the accelerometer(加速器).
As rumored(被谣传的), it will come in two colors. Black and white, which will ship "from Day 1," says Jobs.
The iPad 2 will support Verizon and AT&T networks from Day 1, too. However, they won't be 4G speeds — LTE or even HSPA+ compatible(相容的) — according to the press release, which only confirms "HSUPA support for enhanced 3G upload speeds on iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G on AT&T." "Phonescooper" Eric Zeman reports on Twitter that, for Verizon, it's EVDO rev. A (which is what we suspected).
