Apologies if this question has already been posted.

Does anyone know if the iPad 2 speaker is more powerful than that in the original iPad? Thanks.
 
The speaker on my iPad 1 is strong enough at upper mid volume to make my screen vibrate, which can make listening to music while doing other things (involving your fingers on it) a little unpleasant. I was informed that the iPad 2 does not vibrate at full volume, so the speaker must be just about right.
 
I find the iPad 2 speaker much better much louder and clearer in my opinion. I find the difference between the orginal and the iPad 2 to be very noticeable.
 
Before ordering my iPad 2 I had spent a day playing with the iPad 2 and found the updated speaker to be clearer and seems to handle bass better.
