If we did nothing, maybe a little bit… probably not.” said Steve Jobs minutes back when he finally revealed the much anticipated iPad 2. “But we haven’t been resting on our laurels. Today we’re going to introduce iPad 2.”
“What is iPad 2. What have we learned? It is an all new design. It’s a completely new design. And it’s dramatically faster. We have a new chip we call A5.” Listing down the feature of the mighty device, Steve quoted 2011 as the “Year of iPad 2â€
