Hi, everyone, again, I come back, welcome to read this article, I suppose friends who visited this site may highly be impressed by my previous article How to enjoy DVD on Apple iPad posted one year ago (28/1/2010). And today, I want to expand this topic to a bit further as the second generation of iPad is going to be released.

It is said that the second generation of iPad, iPad 2 will be released on 2, March, 2011 (American Time), and of course, there may be a huge amount of speculations about. As far as I see, there are 5 hotly discussed new features which can be summarized as follows:

1. Better mobility. iPad 2 will be lighter and thinner, someone even say the screen size is set at 7 inches, probably Apple will have squeezed the air out of the currently buddy design to make those reduced millimeters a new selling points.

2. Face Time. It is an advanced video conferencing technology that works on iPhone 4, it provides a better interface for extended video conferencing for businesses and people who travel away from family for long periods of time.

3. New display technology. The iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4 support an amazingly high resolution screen, with four times as many pixels as a standard screen, it just look like a continuouns-tone photograph to the human eye. The rumors say iPad 2 will get the technology as well.

4. 3-axis groscope. It makes sense as it is a feature now included in iPhone 4 which is probably designed to add new gaming possibilities.

5. USB port. A mini USE port for connectivity to other devices.

We will never know how many and what new features will be added to iPad 2, but there is one point that can be probably clear, that's, you still can't play your DVD movies directly on it with no corresponding programs installed.
