iPad 2 later today

As you might already know, Apple will announce and present the iPad 2 today at 7 p.m. Paris time. This morning iPad 2 already accidentely appeared on Amazon.de as netbooknews.de reports. The leaked specs (if they aren´t just placeholders and Amazon doesn´t know more than everybody else) suggest an 1.2GHz CPU (no word about dualcore here, so it might just be a faster Apple A4), WiFi, 3G, Canera, Thunderbolt I/O (and thus Display Port if I am not completely wrong) and Bluetooth - and an aggressive pricing that is - if it´s real - almost incredible for the 16GB model: 499€, just as much as the current iPad 16GB WiFi only costs.

If this turns out to be true - we will all know more later today - Apple´s chances to fight the upcoming Android tablets (which will not be able to compete in terms of number of Apps and Content deals in the beginning, but will be higher priced) might not be all that bad - on the other hand: Nobody expected Apple to give up the fight.
