Photos: Apple iPad 2 launch

SAN FRANCISCO -- Here is a batch of photos from Apple's iPad 2 launch event today. After the presentation by Steve Jobs and other Apple employees, the crowd moved to a room for hands-on time with the new device.

Jobs was right -- the device feels noticeably lighter than the first iPad -- but the biggest changes are inside, in the new processor and software upgrades.

The new version of iOS lets third-party applications use media-streaming capabilies on a home network. There was no word about extending the streaming over wireless networks:

Here's a close-up of the setting that lets you change what the slider switch does on the iPad 2,- allowing it to be used as a mute switch, instead of just a screen rotation lock:
