iPad 2: Everything you need to know

It comes in white. It comes in black.

It's made by Apple, looks as good as ever.

It's the iPad 2.

The original iPad was a fantastic device. Completely blew up the industry and tablet market. Never before had so many people been in such a rush to get hold of a tablet. Apple sold more iPads in year one than there ever have been tablet PCs sold.

Apple are banking on the latter; read on for more info on exactly what their following up the biggest success of 2010 with.
