Steve Jobs Launches Apple iPad 2
2011: Year of the iPad 2
Apple Inc. announced the iPad 2 on March 2, 2011. Apple CEO and Co-Founder Steve Jobs, on medical leave since January 17, 2011, launched the iPad 2 as he has done with previous product roll outs. Jobs received a standing ovation when he walked onto the stage and said, "We've been working on this product for awhile and I just didn't want to miss today". Before unveiling the iPad 2, Steve Jobs made some other announcements and concluded, "A lot of stuff is going on and it's all good". Scott Forstall, Senior Vice President of iOS Software, unveiled the new iOS 4.3, which will be reviewed in a subsequent blog post.
iBooks Steve Jobs announced that users have downloaded over 100 million books from the iBooks store since the launch with the original iPad in April 2010. Random House is bringing their 17,000+ books to the iBooks store. Harper Collins, Hachette Book Group, Macmillan, Penguin, and Simon & Schuster are publishers already on iBooks. Over 2,500 publishers are now distributing on the iBooks store.
iTunes, App, and iBooks Stores There are now 200 million accounts on these Apple stores, with credit cards and 1-click purchasing. Steve Jobs noted that "Amazon doesn't publish their numbers, but it is very likely this is the most accounts, with credit cards, anywhere on the Internet."
App Store Over $2 billion has been paid to developers from selling their applications on the App Store.
iPhone Apple has now shipped 100 million iPhones.
iPad 2 Steve Jobs called the iPad 2, "Apple's third post-PC blockbuster product." First was the iPod in 2001. Second was the iPhone in 2007. Third was the iPad in 2010. "Every one of these has been a blockbuster. The majority of our revenues come from these post-PC products". Jobs reiterated how Apple describes the iPad: "Our most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price." Jobs said almost 15 million iPads were sold in 2010, "The Year of the iPad", in just 9 months, from April to December. This generated $9.5 billion in revenues for Apple in 9 months. Jobs noted, "Some have said this is the most successful consumer product ever launched." Apple's 2010 iPad sales were more than every Tablet PC ever sold. iPad has more than 90% market share. Jobs then said, "our competitors are just flummoxed." The App Store as over 350,000+ apps, of which 65,000+ are "specifically tailored" for the iPad. Jobs then said iPad competitors have at most 100 apps for their version of the tablet PC. Jobs claims the Apple retail stores enable a fast roll out of iPad and were "built for moments like this". Jobs then showed a video, "2010: The Year of the iPad".

Apple, Inc., which revolutionized the tablet market with its launch of iPad in April 2010, will be reportedly launching its new iPad 2 at an event in San Francisco, California on March 2 with a launch date on early April.
Jefferies analyst Peter Misek sees the following to be announced along with the unveiling of the iPad 2 on March 2.
* Preview of iOS 5 is possible as Apple looks to continue to push the integration across multiple mobile devices for content, commerce and user experience.
* The analyst sees an outside chance of Apple unveiling new cloud based services, including revamp of Mobile Me to include remote media storage, integration with iTunes and other features.
* Misek believes there is also a chance that iTunes video and/or audio subscriptions show themselves. However, the analyst thinks it is highly unlikely as he continues to believe content providers are the stumbling block.
Since the release of the original iPad, Apple has sold 14.8 million tablets. RBC Capital Markets expects Apple to sell 30 million iPad 2 units between April 2011 and March 2012.
"The timing of the March 2 event would put the iPad on an annual cycle of updates similar to those of the iPhone and iPod media player, and keep Apple ahead of competitors," Wedbush Securities analyst Scott Sutherland told Bloomberg.
"The tablet becomes the next growth starter for the next two years for Apple. The company is releasing a second edition while many competitors are introducing their first tablets," Sutherland said.
The new iPad will initially be available through Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc. but not Sprint Nextel Corp. or T-Mobile USA in the U.S., the Wall Street Journal reported citing people familiar with the matter.
Stock analysis firm Trefis said that the original iPad lacks some of the "must have" features such as no camera, no OLED display, no removable battery, no multi-tasking feature, no Adobe Flash, no Skype and storage capacity limited to a maximum of 64 GB flash drive. The absence of these features could limit demand for the iPad.
If Apple adds these "must have" features in the iPad 2, it would be an added advantage to the already strong demand for iPad, leading to higher sales that may exceed its predecessor's.
Barclays analyst Kirk Yang expects the upcoming iPad to have 2 cameras (front/back, likely 5/2 megapixel resolutions), same size (9.7-inch), same A4 processor, 512MB DRAM (iPad: 256MB DRAM), lighter than iPad of 680 grams, higher storage capacity up to 128GB (iPad: 64GB), and without USB/HDMI ports.
In addition, Apple is said to boost the resolution of iPad 2 to 2048 by 1536, Digitimes reported citing sources from upstream component makers.
The current iPad has a resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels at 132 pixels per inch (ppi), while iPad's closest competitor Samsung Galaxy Tab has a resolution of 1024 by 600 pixels at 169 ppi.
RBC Capital analyst Mike Abramsky discusses expected hardware specifications for the iPad 2 in his note, which include a faster 1.2GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, a rear camera, a front-facing camera for FaceTime video chat and a thinner, lighter case.
Apple iPad 2 will be shipped immediately and its initial shipments are expected to be in the range of 400,000 to 600,000 units, according to Digitimes.
Cupertino, California-based Apple first announced iPad on Jan. 27, 2010 in San Francisco with pre-orders started on March 12. Actual sales started on April 3 with 300,000 units sold on the first day. One month later, the sales reached 1 million units by May 3, and 2 million units by May 31, 2010.
For the latest first quarter ended Dec.25, 2010, Apple sold 7.33 million iPads and generated sales of $4.61 billion. As a result, iPad accounted for 17 percent of Apple's total sales of $26.74 billion.

I am using mac mail and it keeps asking me for my password, but when it is entered it will not let me inn and keeps acting as if the password is incorrect, i badly need to get this sorted.
Sol: Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access and from Keychain Access menu item and run First Aid. Plus find the saved password entry that Mail keeps asking you for.
Then run Mail again and tell it to save the password again to see if it sticks.
