The new iPad 2 is faster, thinner and lighter, said Apple CEO Steve Jobs. The iPad 2 will ship March 11 in the U.S., and on March 25 in at least 26 other countries. The new tablet is 33% thinner, and tips the scales at 1.3 lbs., said Jobs, under the 1.5 lbs. of the original. Jobs received a standing ovation from reporters and others at the invitation-only event Wednesday morning. It was Jobs’ first public appearance since he stepped away from Apple in January to take an indefinite medical leave.”]
