Quipped with a new A5 dual-core processor and a dual-core graphic chipset, the new iPhone 4S boasts a speed 2x faster than iPhone 4 predecessor. There is also a 7-fold increase in processing speed of graphics, essential especially when you’re snapping away with its new 5 lens element 8 megapixel CMOS camera. A f/2.4 aperture ensures sharp picture quality in low light condition or action sequence. Additionally, the faster graphic processor equates to the capacity for a full 1080p HD video recording and added image stabilization. Despite the unchanged external design, one other improvement is the ability to function in both GSM and CDMA wireless networks.

Besides the user friendly iOS 5 that is due to come out next week, there is Siri, a voice activated personal assistant developed by a former standalone software company which Apple brought it back in April earlier this year. The Virtual Personal Assistant (VPA) software is more than just a voice activated search or speech recognition but artificial intelligence on the palm of your hand.

Apple is by far the most prolific company when it comes to electronic designs and form factors the consumers easily identify with. In conjuction with the newly launched iPad 2, designers at Apple flexed their creativity by introduce you the Smart Cover. Rather than an afterthought, development of the Smart Covers took place side-by-side with iPad 2. There are no hinges. Instead, magnets on the cover and the device provide attachment. Because of this method, Smart Cover automatically aligns itself with screen, every time and all the time. That “perfect fit” serves 2 other purposes: it enacts awake/sleep functions when Smart Cover closes/opens. The microfiber lining automatically cleans the screen when closes or opens as well. Roll up the Smart Cover and it transforms to a pivot point for ease of typing or a stand for viewing movies. To available in 5 colorful polyurethane covers and 5 luxurious colors in leather, the Smart Covers for Apple iPad 2 will launch on the same date as iPad 2 as well.

For those who haven’t bought an iPad but wish to buy one, like me, do you think it is it worth to wait? I’m not sure. I hope it is worth to wait. If it is really launch in April, it may take another half year for iPad 2 to be available in Malaysia, which is around October 2011.

Anyway, if the new iPad 2 is not much better than iPad and it is much more expensive, then I may consider to buy the old version of iPad.

These are the feature that I hope the iPad 2 will have:

• Higher resolution for HD movies and photo viewing.
• Retina Screen – The screen used by iPhone 4.
• Same physical size with old iPad – Hope that Apple won’t resize the device because the current size is just nice for portable, web browsing and books reading.
• Cameras – Front and rear camera for taking nice photos and FaceTime. 5 mega pixels will be more than enough.
• Faster CPU and more RAM to support 3D games higher screen resolution.
• Slimmer – Maybe iPhone 4 like design.
• Compatibility – Compatible with iPad’s applications.

So, are you going to wait for the new iPad2? What features do you wish to have  for the new “iPad 2″?
