Editor’s note: This article was published in 2009 on a trip to South East Asia, were we traveled and ran the Web Success Team while on the go. This is still relevant information. Wi-Fi and Internet cafes are everywhere and with the advent of tablets and smartphones we are able to go anywhere without interruption. Our Web Success team staff writer is presently in Australia and contributing from there.

Apple unveiled the highly anticipated iPad 2 Wednesday morning. It’s thinner and lighter than the original iPad, boasts two cameras (one in the front and one in the back), and it’s nine times faster than its predecessor.
Americans are on pins and needles, waiting for the March 11 release date. Yesterday, “iPad 2” quickly became a trending topic on Twitter and a hot topic on Google and Yahoo.
