Apple to unveil iPad 2 on March 2
Nobody can deny that Apple’s new iPad is a hot topic in the tech world. Rumored release dates are posted and changed and system specs are theorized almost daily. Now, according to All Things Digital, the wait will soon be over as Apple will be revealing details on the iPad 2 on March 2. Although nobody has received an official invitation to the party yet, the report states that the event will be held in San Francisco at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
Unlike last year when the iPad was one of the only real tablets on the market, the landscape has changed with the introduction of new tablets such as Motorola's Xoom. Apple has a huge head start that will be difficult for competitors to overcome, but the company can't simply rest on its laurels. They have a large install base of tablets, but will the iPad 2 be just as popular? The question revolves around saturation: If 15 million tablets were sold in the past year, how many of those people will be compelled to purchase the new version? How many new customers can Apple attract to their offering as opposed to their opposition?
