Article first published as iPad 2 Officially Announced—Breakdown and Analysis of Apple's Special Event on Technorati. Interestingly, Apple chose not to utilize a live stream for this keynote, which might have given you reason to wonder just how big of an event they were considering the iPad 2 to be.
