So... a dual core processor, two cameras, and... that's it? I was honestly expecting a LOT more considering how much competition they're getting this year. The new cover is neat, and it seems like they did a great job with the Movie and Garage Band apps, but the new iPad 2 is pretty underwhelming. Same old low resolution, no USB ports, and no desperately needed UI changes (I'm guessing iOS 5 wasn't ready yet and you'll have to wait for the new iPhone announcement).
The only good thing still going for it is the price, and if the past few years of the smartphone market has taught us anything, we'll soon see a flood of a variety of cheap tablets on all the service providers using Android. Can the iPad 2 compete with that? We'll see.
