The iPad 2: What we know, what we don’t know, and what we think we know
    2011-03-02  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    What we know

    Apple is holding an iPad-related event Wednesday: The invitations went out last week, with an image showing a Mac OS calendar page peeled back to reveal an iPad peeking out from behind. The caption: “Come see what 2011 will be the year of.” Wednesday’s Apple event will be held in San Francisco, at 10 a.m. local time. And iPad-related topics are on the agenda.

    

    What we don’t know

    Everyone’s been calling the next iPad the “iPad 2,” but no one has come out and reported that the iPad 2 will, in fact, be called the iPad 2. Apple’s been known to throw curve balls* when it comes to naming its next-gen products (like, for example, the iPhone 3G and 3GS).

    How much internal storage it’ll have: Will we get an iPad 2 model with 128GB of built-in flash storage, or will the largest next-gen iPad still top out at 64GB? Hard to say.

    

    What we think we know

    Slimmer profile, less heft: Just about everyone seems to agree that the redesigned iPad will be “smaller” and “lighter” than its predecessor, complete with a flatter back and tapered edges.

    A camera, or two: Another consistent iPad 2 rumor has it that Apple will fix one of the biggest criticisms of the original iPad — namely, the lack of a camera.

    Same-resolution display: The latest word and some leaked spy shots have revealed that the revamped iPad display will come with a 1,024-by-768-resolution display, same as the original.

    Faster, beefier* processor: “Dual-core” is the gotta-have spec* when it comes to this year’s hottest smartphones and gadgets, and the iPad 2 is no exception. Most believe the revamped tablet will get an updated, dual-core version of Apple’s A4 “system-on-a-chip,” complete with 512MB of RAM (double the 256MB RAM in the original iPad) and some seriously souped-up* graphics capabilities.

    Better speaker: The new iPad is reportedly in line for an improved, “wide-ranged” speaker.

    No SD card: Early buzz on Apple adding an SD card slot to the iPad has given way to near-universal agreement that it won’t actually happen.(SD-Agencies)
