iPad 2 Qatar UAEA Specs Price and Official Release Date - Here comes the official iPad 2! And this time, it appears the predictions for this year were very accurate on depicting the specifications of the second-generation iPad.this device will pack a dual-core processor in the body of the new A5 Chip CPU which is twice faster, 9x faster GPU but it still maintains a low power just like the A4 chip. It’s also worth mentioning that the iPad 2 is the first dual-core device of Apple for tablets and mobile category.
The official iOS 4.3 would be in the same line with the arrival of iPad 2 featuring several improvements for Safari via its new Nitro javascript engine. iTunes home sharing – getting all your contents from your PC via WiFi – No more jailbreak this time! Airplay improvements, Personal hotspot (just like on Verizon iPhone 4) and tons of camera improvements and Facetime calls we mentioned above.
And the most soothing part? The price! Not only this one will be available both on AT&T and Verizon carriers, Apple managed to maintain its price just like the iPad 1 whereas its cheapest WiFi model would still be tagged at 499 USD!
And to make things even more ecstatic, its shipping date won’t come on May or June but on March 11! (next Friday!) – And this is the type of marketing strategy every company should learn from Apple. Sell the goods while the buzz is still hot!
There’s no doubt that iPad 2 will “revolutionize” the iPad once again packing with tons of amazing features and specifications, which is highly at par with the new Android tablets today. But more importantly, is the way how the company managed to stick with its price. You see, out of all the models of the iPad 2, the only unit that managed to go beyond 800 USD was the 64GB WiFi + 3G version. Certainly, this will put the current price of Motorola Xoom at $800 into shame.
Like we said before, one should also look at the perspective where several companies are joining-forces under the cocoon of Android just to compete with Apple, but the company is still standing strong delivering de-facto and new standards for technology while maintaining a charismatic way of marketing its product.
Android tablets may be inching closer with the iPad but one shouldn’t forget that iPad is only under one company, completely opposite with the green team. In the end, it’s up to you to decide if you are going to buy the second generation iPad next Friday. If you’ll ask me, I will definitely get this if I haven’t bought any tablets yet and I have the cash!
Steve Jobs’s last words for the announcement.
“Our competitors are looking at this like it’s the next PC market. That is not the right approach to this. These are pos-PC devices that need to be easier to use than a PC, more intuitive.”
“The hardware and software need to intertwine more than they do on a PC. We think we’re on the right path with this.”
