蘋果執行長賈伯斯現身了！在美國當地時間 3 月 2 日的蘋果發表會中帶著「iPad2」現身了！在一月中對外表示自己將因身體問題暫別工作崗位的賈伯斯，因著外界風風雨雨，甚至認定他就要不久於人事，但他仍然精神抖擻，上台就先表示不想錯過今天發表，又高調宣稱「2011 就是 iPad2 的一年！」

這次除了發表 iPad2、新款周邊、iOS 4.3 更新內容，以及可剪輯影片、多音軌錄製、簡易分享介面，新對應 iPad 的「iMove for iPad」，以及可利用 iPad 觸控功能展開多種樂器演奏的「GarageBand for iPad」。不過，先前傳說得新版 MobileMe 和 iTunes 卻並未在本次出現。

另外，賈伯斯還透露 iPad 在 2010 年的銷售量已於當年 4 月開賣後達 1500 萬台，為蘋果增加約 95 億美元的營收以及 90％ 以上的平板電腦市佔率，蘋果線上服務的帳號達到 2 億組，iPhone 出貨超越 1 億台，iPad 的誕生更成為競爭對手爭相模仿的典範。

正式名稱就叫作「iPad 2」的 iPad 後續機，初代主機這次並未如外傳般自通路上消失，而是做出大幅降價動作，官方線上商店降幅約新台幣 4000 元，最便宜的 Wi-Fi、16GB 機種，價格原有的 1 萬 6500 元降至 1 萬 2900 元。

Apple iOS 4.3 Update for iPad/iPhone


Update Includes Faster Safari Performance, iTunes Home Sharing, AirPlay Improvements and New Personal Hotspot



Apple today introduced iOS 4.3, the latest version of the world's most advanced mobile operating system. New features in iOS 4.3 include faster Safari mobile browsing performance with the Nitro JavaScript engine; iTunes Home Sharing; enhancements to AirPlay; the choice of using the iPad side switch to either lock the screen rotation or mute the audio; and the Personal Hotspot feature for sharing an iPhone 4 cellular data connection over Wi-Fi.

The Safari mobile browsing experience gets even better with iOS 4.3. The Nitro JavaScript engine that Apple pioneered on the desktop is now built into WebKit, the technology at the heart of Safari, and more than doubles the performance of JavaScript execution using just-in-time compilation. With the Nitro JavaScript engine, Safari provides an even better mobile browser experience working faster to support the interactivity of complex sites you visit on a daily basis.

New iTunes Home Sharing allows iOS 4.3 users to play music, movies and TV shows on an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch from their iTunes library on a Mac or PC over a local Wi-Fi network. With a simple tap you can enjoy all the media in your iTunes library wherever you are in your home. You can stream a movie from your Mac in one room to your iPad in another or stream an iTunes mix to your iPod touch from the office to the kitchen. With Home Sharing on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch you've got your entire iTunes library in your hands wherever you are in your home.


"iOS 4.3 adds even more features
to the world's most advanced mobile
operating system, across three
blockbuster devices--iPad, iPhone
and iPod touch--providing an
ecosystem that offers customers
an incredibly rich experience and
developers unlimited opportunities."
-- Steve Jobs, Apple CEO
iOS 4.3 includes enhancements to AirPlay, the breakthrough wireless technology that allows users to stream music, photos and video to Apple TV. With iOS 4.3 you can stream additional content including video from third party apps and web sites, videos from the Photos app and previews from the iTunes app to your TV.* AirPlay also allows you to bring photos to life on the TV screen by using one of the stunning new slideshow transitions, or shoot a video on your iPad 2, iPhone or iPod touch and stream it directly from the Photos app to Apple TV.

The new Personal Hotspot feature in iOS 4.3 lets you bring Wi-Fi with you anywhere you go, by allowing you to share an iPhone 4 cellular data connection with up to five devices in a combination of up to three Wi-Fi, three Bluetooth and one USB device.** Joining a Personal Hotspot is easy and once the feature is enabled a status bar displays how many devices are currently connected. Every connection is password protected and when not in use Personal Hotspot turns itself off to save battery life.

Availability
iOS 4.3 will be available to iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users as a free software update on Friday, March 11. iOS 4.3 is compatible with iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 (GSM model), plus third and fourth generation iPod touch.
