iPadded out

I just watched Steve Jobs's keynote about his latest baby, the iPad 2.

Barely 12 months after the 1st gen iPad came out, here comes the latest and greatest edition of Apple's new flagship product. Apple claims it's a complete upgrade and not just a design tweak here and there. Noticeable is the introduction of front and rear facing cameras and the native apps of Facetime and Photobooth. Those alone are dealmakers for some hardcore Apple fans.

If you're curious to see the launch, you can view the Youtube version here:

Props to Steve Jobs for still being an enigmatic and entertaining figure on stage. He had my full attention for over an hour online!

I'm still not completely sold on the latest "magical" product from Apple, though I have to admit it is still pretty cool (gadget envy) and competitors are still struggling to catch up with it.

I'll wait it out until they figure out how to get Flash and VLC on the darned thing.
