Stephen Colbert had a skit for Apple’s recently launched iPad 2 at last night’s Colbert Report on Comedy Central. From the episode, it sounded Colbert was desperate for the latest Apple’s gadget, even though iPad 2′s A5 dual core processor allows it to “not run Flash nine times faster.” Hilarious! via Tuaw

iPad 2 Engadget Hands-On Photos & Video

Now iPad 2 has unveiled, sure there are throngs of iDevice fans who can’t keep their wallets tight. But before you throw your bucks for the 2nd-gen iPad, make sure check Engadget’s very first hands-on photos and video on the device.
Even for myself who currently owns a 1st-gen iPad can’t resist that desire, especially after read the afore-mention gadget blog’s first expression on iPad 2:
* This thing is insanely fast. We’re not joking — it’s blazingly fast. Everything the iPad 2 does feels like it’s on turbo. We’re uploading a video of the some evidence of this, you’ll be appropriately stunned.
* The design feels great in your hands. Sleek, super thin — much nicer to hold than the previous version. Definitely has more of a magazine than book feel. Everything is tight and solid. It is pretty amazing how thin they’ve gotten the device.
* Even software made for the first generation device feels better here. Safari is definitely sped up. Games looked great on-screen, though obviously there are no updates to the resolution of screen technology here.
* This is an evolutionary step, but we definitely don’t feel like it’s lacking for features. People are going to gobble these up when they see the new apps.
Steve Jobs rocks!
