iPad 2 Dock

Steve Jobs spent more time talking about the new iPad 2 Smart Cover cases than any other accessory, but there's also a new iPad 2 Dock for those wanting somewhere neat to charge and sync their new iOS 4.3 slate. Priced at $29, though not currently available to order, as with the first-gen iPad dock the new version has a 3.5mm audio output for hooking up external speakers.

There's also a regular iPad 2 Dock connector, so you can plug a USB sync/charge cable or a 10W AC adapter to sync or charge your iPad 2. Unfortunately neither cable nor AC adapter actually comes with the iPad 2 Dock, so factor in another $29 for the mains supply if you don't want to keep unplugging and replugging it.

Both the iPad 2 dock and the Smart Cover are new products designed for the second-generation device. The company on Wednesday also announced a new HDMI adapter that will allow 1080p output from the iPad 2, but the $39 "iPad 2 Digital AV Adapter" will also support 720p video output on the iPhone 4, fourth-generation iPod touch, and first-generation iPad.
