Apple Store online has been down for a couple of hours. Despite the claims that the iPad 2 to be announced is really more like a 1.5, if they add more ram and speed it up, I will pick one up, hand down the my 1st gen to my daughter and worry about another upgrade in September, when the next gen is rumored to be released. My biggest complaint with the iPad is the lack of ram.

Wonder if rumored iOS5 showoff and cloud mystery announcement may be the larger news?

Please update the thread, interested but don't have time today to stalk the interwebs..

It's a pretty substantial update. FFFUUU

There's also a gyroscope, which the iPhone and iPod Touch also have. Mr. Jobs says the iPad 2 will have the same battery life as the first version, but will be 33 percent thinner. It is 13 mm thick to 8.8 mm thick, which is .5 mm thinner than an iPhone4.

It's lighter too than the original iPad -- 1.3 pounds, down from 1.5.

The new iPad is a little rounder. And it comes in two colors. "We'll be shipping white from day one," he says, referring to the elusive white iPhone.

I have heard enough and confirm the above sentiment.

Hmm...iOS 4.3 will let you use iPhone 4 as a hotspot for devices. So the 3G iPad2 may be unnecessary...

new "covers" instead of cases attach via magnets.

Anyone want to buy a 3g/64 ipad? I'm definitely upgrading.

faceTime looks like it could be pretty cool.

hm...

you can see audio waveforms in iMovie.

Big updates to garageband and imovie. Seems like a major focus here is content creation in addition to consumption.

I may downgrade my initial fffuuu to a ffuu.

Event is over.

iPad 2! Now with the power to beam me a chubby all the way from Yerba Buena to the lower middle of butt fuck nowhere. Technology is amazing.

I'm in for a new one. Has anyone read anywhere what the ram will be in the new one?
