Just as predicted Apple debuts the new iPad 2 in March. However, not all the predictions about features came true.

So what is new?

- iPad 2 is 33% thinner and 15% lighter

- Dual core A5 chip

- Improved graphics

- Front and back cameras for Facetime and Photobooth

- Apple Smart Cover

- Option of the color white

- Usage of either the AT&T or Verizon network

- Plug and play with TV’s and Projectors

That’s a lot of new features! So what’s missing? Well in the months of speculation leading up to the announcement today there was talk of an SD card slot, multiple screen size options, retina display and a USB port. But I’m not surprised to see these features missing. It’s possible they will show up in future versions, but I think by now we all know that Apple doesn’t add features just for features sake.

What do you think? If you have a first generation iPad is this is enough to make you upgrade? For those of you who have waited, are you ready to buy?
