The new iPad might be for me

As if to demonstrate  that my faith in Apple is still not unfounded, Steve Jobs revealed the new iPad 2 at the Yerba Buena centre in San Francisco. The new version, which will sell at the same price as the old, is thinner, lighter, faster and has cameras both back and front.

That is all good stuff but the really clever part comes with the Smart Cover which attaches magnetically to the iPad. Not only does it protect the screen but it turns the iPad on and off and folds over to produce a stand to hold the iPad vertically or horizontally. Now that is what I call innovation.

You know, when the iPad was announced, I said it was not necessarily for me – well I might have to rethink that strategy now.
