It's 33% thinner and 15% lighter. It still boasts a 10-hour battery.<br/><br/>It's now available in both black and white, and can use AT&T or Verizon's data network natively. There's a clever magnetically-attached cover option. And you can attach an HDMI adapter to mirror the display to an HDTV.<br/><br/>All in all, it's a decent update and it raises the bar for all the copycats. We'll be getting a new one for Amy; I'll inherit her first-gen model.<br/><br/>Oh yeah, Steve Jobs was there to make the announcement. Rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated.
