The iPad 2 had several major upgrades from the iPad 1. It kept the same features as the iPad 1 but also added front and rear cameras. It had included in its makeup a 3-axis gyroscope, ambient light sensor, digital compass, a speaker, and built-in microphone. It had 512 MB RAM and 16, 32, and 64 GB storage configurations.
There was also the provision of a Smart Cover at an additional cost that protects the screen when not in use and automatically wakes up the iPad 2 when the cover is removed and puts it to sleep when the cover is attached.
