Gaunt(枯瘦）but energetic, Mr. Jobs showed off a thinner iPad with two core processors and a claimed ninefold increase(九倍增长) in graphics performance(图像性能). Apple’s stock rose more than 2 percent in the minutes after Mr. Jobs began speaking, then gave up some of its gain as he detailed (详述)the iPad 2. The device will go on sale in black and white versions in the US on March 11 and in 26 other countries, including the UK, Germany and Japan, on March 25. Most of the improvements in the latest version had been expected, including front and rear-facing(后面的) video, which allows video conferencing between iPads, Mac computers and the most recent iPhones and iPods. The iPad 2 is one-third thinner than the original tablet and slightly lighter. In the US it will work with ATT and Verizon(美国两大电信运营商), the top two mobile carriers. The pricing will be identical to the 2010 iPad at its introduction, ranging from $499 to $829 in six models.
