Hands On With Apple IPad 2 432

adeelarshad82 writes "Yesterday's announcement of the second-generation iPad showed exactly why there was so much excitment around the device. As the video hands on shows, iPad 2 makes up for all the things lacking in the original iPad. The 1GHz dual-core A5 chip does justice to apps like Photo Booth and over all user experience. Moreover, while the screen carries the same resolution, Apple was able to pack it in a noticably thinner iPad 2. Infact its dimensions, 13.4 mm to 8.8mm thick, make it 33% thinner than iPhone 4. Also while the cameras aren't HD, the inclusion itself provides an opportuntiy for Facetime, which is actually more interactive than what we've seen so far on other Apple devices."

Comment We had the same question - so we wrote this app (Score 1) 155

We had this exact problem, and got tired of using net send. Two of us wrote a program called t++, and we just finished version 1.0 after a year of development. It features:
  • Tabbed Chat - have a tab for each of your peers
  • Encryption
  • Tells you when the user is typing a message - their name goes bold
  • Tells you when the user's box is locked - their name goes italics
  • Saves peer and tab configuration
