The wait is over. The iPad 2 has been announced with a healthy dose of fanfare…but what does it mean to you? An all-star panel of iPad experts agreed to serve on this, our first MacJury of 2011 to discuss the redesign, upgrades and enhancements from both hardware and software perspectives, the way the news was delivered, and where this leaves the shipping and not-yet-shipping competition. Examining the evidence and rendering the verdict are Tonya Engst, Jeff Gamet, Joe Kissell, Don McAllister, Omaha Sternberg, and host Chuck Joiner.

The biggest addition is Thunderbolt; Jim walks us through the exciting capabilities of this new interface, what you’ll be able to do with it, and why it doesn’t make your existing hardware obsolete. On the software side, Apple released FaceTime for the desktop…for $.99. Jim addresses the furor over the price and why it is largely meaningless.
