Geek Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ipad-2.jpg" alt="ipad 2" title="ipad 2" width="526" height="291" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10814" /></p> <p>A new report from Reuters claims that iPad 2 will have front and rear facing cameras, in addition to a slimmer and lighter design that includes a higher resolution display. Citing several component suppliers, <a href="http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/Apple-suppliers-point-new-rsg-156215482.html?x=0&.v=3">Reuters</a> also notes that production of iPad 2 will ramp up in the first quarter of 2011, which might suggest a spring ship date.</p> <p>The idea of the next iPad featuring FaceTime compatible cameras, a retina display, and being slimmer and lighter isn’t new or groundbreaking, these improvements have long been part of the speculative rumor mill. What I think is more interesting is the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/09/ipad-2-case-design-leak/">leaked iPad 2 cases show off various ports</a> that have caused a wave of speculation in and of themselves. <a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/12/10/apple_suppliers_say_ipad_2_to_have_front_and_rear_cameras.html">AppleInsider</a> mentions one as “space for what could be an SD card slot.” I’ll have to disagree with AppleInsider here though, I am still convinced the port opening they refer to is for a revised speaker design and not an SD card slot.</p> <p>If past Apple announcements are any future indicator, we might see the iPad 2 unveiled as early as January of 2011.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g3oxgqXYEyoNec3F2er53Bw8iIk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g3oxgqXYEyoNec3F2er53Bw8iIk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g3oxgqXYEyoNec3F2er53Bw8iIk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g3oxgqXYEyoNec3F2er53Bw8iIk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=cnCVXP9m0VE:oqscoHcdCEw:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=cnCVXP9m0VE:oqscoHcdCEw:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=cnCVXP9m0VE:oqscoHcdCEw:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=cnCVXP9m0VE:oqscoHcdCEw:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=cnCVXP9m0VE:oqscoHcdCEw:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=cnCVXP9m0VE:oqscoHcdCEw:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=cnCVXP9m0VE:oqscoHcdCEw:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/cnCVXP9m0VE" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
