Tuesday, March 8th, 2011 - Emily W

In the online gambling industry, the introduction of tablet computers has driven the popularity of mobile gaming. Devices like the Apple iPad have users from all over the world searching for new and innovative apps to use on the go, including games, social networks and news aggregators. Now, mobile gamers are in for an extra special treat as Apple has just announced the launch of the new iPad 2. 

The iPad 2 is set for release at the end of March and is already garnering interest from a wide range of users that previously bought the original iPad. The new device will see plenty of repeat customers and first-time Apple users, who want to experience the iPad 2’s special features first hand. 

What most techies are excited about is the dual-camera feature on the new iPad. One camera is used exclusively for taking photos while the other is designated for online gaming and chatting. This will certainly come in handy in the online poker and online bingo worlds, where operators are beginning to fit their software with webcam capability. 

For online poker players, webcams are being installed to give competitors the chance to read each other the way they would in a typical land-based game. For online bingo games, live callers are now being introduced. This is certainly a step forward in the online gaming software world, and it will be interesting to see the response that gamers have to the new iPad 2.
