The iPad is the first tablet from Apple and dominated the market until it was replaced by the iPad 2. Like the iPhone and iPod Touch, the iPad runs the iOS operating system with support for thousands of apps.

Description

Thinner, faster, more powerful, and packing dual cameras and a dual-core A5 chip, the iPad 2 is the second generation of Apple's popular tablet. After the launch of the 3rd generation iPad the price was dropped to $529.

Successor to the popular iPad 2 and furthering Apple's push towards post-PC computing, the "new iPad" features a Retina display at the same 9.7-inch size as its predecessor but with doubled pixel density. The rear camera shares the optics system of the iPhone 4S for better photo quality. Optional 4G LTE is another addition, with theoretical download speeds of up to 72Mbps.
