Since the launch of the original iPod, Apple has kept up the tradition of launching a new version of their handheld devices. So, it’s pretty much assured that we will see an iPad Version 2 sometime in 2011. While we may not know much about the device, the Internet is already awash with rumors about the iPad 2. Here are some of the notable ones:
Dual Core: An analyst claimed last week that Apple was on its way to include dual 1GHz Cortex A9 processors on the new iPad. This comes in view of other dual core tablets making their way to the market like the Motorola tablet and the RIM PlayBook.
Slimmer, Better Display: News also broke out that Apple will be outfitting the new iPad with a slimmer and lighter display which will also sport a higher resolution.
Better Speakers: A Japanese blog has claimed that the iPad 2 will sport a much better speaker capable of projecting better quality sound.
Two cameras: The new iPad is expected to have both a front and a back-facing camera. Considering the popularity of the iPhone 4’s FaceTime feature, it is a must-have feature for the iPad.
Three Versions: This might just be the most popular rumor doing the rounds right now. Rumors say that Apple will be launching a Wi-Fi only model, one model with Wi-Fi and UMTS and a CDMA iPad with Wi-Fi support.
The iPad 2 launch might still be some months in the offing, but we’ll make sure we keep you updated on what might just be Apple’s most popular product ever.
