Apple announced that iPad 2 would be on sale in United States from March 11 and would be put into the market in the other 26 countries from March 25. There are three models with Wi-Fi only: a $499 version with 16GB, a $599 version with 32GB and a $699 version with 64GB. If it is equipped with Wi-Fi and 3G, there are also three models: a $629 version with 16GB, a $729 version with 32GB, a $829 version with 64GB.

Although Jobs has asked for a sick leave in early time, he startling attended the conference. There was a long standing ovation when he appeared. Jobs explained to the audiences that they have been developing the product for a long time so he didn’t want to miss the chance.

As expected, this new generation features with two built-in cameras for use with FaceTime video chat and other apps and a built-in revolving connector which links iPod Touch and iPhone. In appearance, iPad 2 is thinner than the original iPad, from 13.4 mm to 8.8mm. Steve Jobs said it is even thinner than iPhone 4.

He stated that some people laugh at Apple for it wields magic and the price of iPad is rather unreasonable. Jobs argued against that why in 2010 Apple has sold 15million iPad and earn over 9 billion U.S. dollars. The truths do make competitors sink into deep confusion. What’s more, in his words there are 65 thousand iPad apps in App Store in contrast to at most 100 apps of the competitors.

Microsoft Plans to Release Windows 8 Tablet in June

According to the report, people inside Microsoft reveal that Microsoft expects to demonstrate the new Windows 8 tablet design in the upcoming June.
It is said that Microsoft will probably adopt the way similar to Apple and employ the "Metro" interface concept it develops for Windows Phone 7. Ironically the interface comes from the media center interface which is developed for Windows XP. But this kind of interface can be seen and controlled beyond 10 feet. As a result, "Metro" interface is made use of with touch screen.

However, there is news against the rumor that Microsoft is accelerating the development of new operating system, meanwhile, it points out that Windows 8 tablet will not launch until 2012. Although Microsoft is working hard on developing the ARM version of Windows, it can not make sure the work will be done as scheduled.

Most observers expect the first beta of Windows 8 will be released in September 2011, but according to precedent Microsoft will release another one or more version after the first beta. Microsoft has been clung to the principle that sophisticated workmanship makes a fine product, therefore, the official release of Windows will be at the end of 2012, the third year after Window 7 release.

Windows is trying to gain more recognition on tablet computer, but its market share has obviously lagged behind Android and Apple operating system.
