The ipad 2 was just the second generation update of the original ipad. The iPod Touch and the ipad actually apparently started development at the same time, born from the idea of Steve Jobs, for an internet capable device combined with an iPod. However, when the idea to combine that with the technology of a cell phone/smartphone was developed, (what would soon become the first iphone,) the idea for the ipad was shelved, and the iphone was released. The original idea for the PDA device, the parallel for the iphone, (a.k.a., the iPod Touch,) was released in December 2007, the same year. Approximately two years later, the ipad was put back into development by Steve Jobs, and in March 2010, the ipad was unveiled and released. Then one year later, in March 2011, Apple, under Steve Jobs, released the ipad 2. Now in March 2012, Tim Cook unveiled the new ipad, or the ipad 3rd Generation. I know that I may be kind of annoying, rambling on on the history of the ipad, but you sort of have to know all of that to know the answer to your question. Hope this helps! SeanHolshouser
