The Apple iPad 2 brings both a performance upgrade and a redesign. The tablet is powered by the new Apple A5 SoC, with a dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 processor, PoverVR SGX543MP2 graphics and 512MB RAM.
The handling of the Apple iPad 2 is improved, it’s an impressively thin tablet (slimmer than the iPhone 4).

The speed boost is there compare with the earlier one, impressive performance and the Facetime video-calls and 720p videos are nice add-ons.
