Lighter, from 1.5 lbs. To 1.3 lbs
Faster
10-hour battery life, with a month of standby Ships in white or black (I know, who cares about that)
HDMI output
Multi-functional semi-case (not really a case at all; they are calling it a smart cover)
iMovie
GarageBand (this won’t be popular with real musicians, but for the rest of us — very cool)
Front and rear facing cameras
WiFi Hotspot enabled
Same price as the original iPad
