Apple has really made some good changes to the iPad 2, the second generation of its successful iPad brand. iPad 2 is thinner, lighter and faster, fulfilling much of the craves that iPad users wanted. It runs on Apple A5 1GHz dual-core processor which is said to be twice faster than the first version of iPad with much better (9x) graphics performance. The pricing in US is retained, starting at $499 (the price for iPad is expected to be slashed!) However, iPad 2 still doesn’t include USB ports (perhaps you don’t need one).
Now that iPad 2 is 33% thinner than the original iPad plus with the improved CPU, Apple has also included some other “tasty” features in the new iPad. Here are some of them.
Full specs available at Apple iPad Page.
In US, iPad will be available on March 11th. It will be available in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK on 25 March; and in other countries around the world in the coming months.
Malaysia? Expect the same wait that we all experience for the original iPad. Sources have said that it will be launched in Malaysia in 29th or 30th April 2011, according to the same recommended retail price of iPad when it first launched (starting from RM1,599 for the WiFi 16GB model).

iPad 2 looks good but well....don't think I can afford it if the price is the same.
Will consider iPad if the price is slashed in Malaysia too............
Arrh....the screen is the same still...........hmmm...and no USB port is still a problem for me....
It kind of suck knowing that it doesnt have a USB port. How you gonna print stuff??
Err...if the USB is given, iOS 4.3 is not meant to serve what normal OS do, ie. drivers for printers.
People tend to forget iPad runs on the same OS as iPhone is using. It's not a PC/Netbook.
iPad 2 will not be available for cheaper price anywhere for sure. Already this US pricing seems to be lower than expected. If at all there is a pricing difference, it is going to be more. Lets face it, Apple will have no issues selling their products in Asia. Some people even order through websites such as Hong Kong Desis.com and get the iPad 2 even before it is launched.
I heard that ipad price has been dropped by RM400 with the introduction of ipad 2 in the market...
Yes it is. But currently, it's pretty hard to get iPad, as the stock is no longer available.
