Apple unveiled the highly anticipated followup to its iPad tablet, the iPad 2, at an event in San Francisco Wednesday. The presence of a dual-core A5 processor, front and back cameras, and a thinner and lighter chassis confirmed some of the many rumors that have been surrounding the device in recent months. The iPad 2 will hit the shelves March 11. Apple CEO Jobs took the stage for the iPad 2’s introduction, receiving a standing ovation from the audience. Jobs has technically been on a leave of absence since January, citing chronic health problems.
