Associated Press reviewer Rachel Metz writes that with the release of a “skinnier, faster, and slightly lighter” iPad 2, Apple has pulled further ahead of competitors “with improvements that make an already excellent tablet even more enticing.” Among those improvements, Metz praises the integration of the new front- and rear-facing cameras with FaceTime and PhotoBooth, noticeably faster web surfing and video loading, and the iPad 2 battery, which in tests “performed like a champ.” She concludes: “Without question, the iPad 2 is a great tablet. Chances are, it will be the best tablet in town — at least until the iPad 3 arrives.”
