Rumors are multiplying about an imminent release of the iPad 2, presumably in a new version by Spring 2011. What will change and what new features will the iPad 2 have?
The new iPad 2 could arrive on the market much sooner than anticipated, likely within the first quarter of 2011. Currently, these are just rumors, but they are based on solid information.
What might differentiate the iPad 2 from the current iPad model on the market? First and foremost, it appears there will be a camera, which would be consistent with a strategy that previously saw the launch of FaceTime.
Another potential new feature could be the inclusion of a USB and a mini-USB port. Additionally, work is underway on a unibody metal casing, similar to the MacBook’s style, eliminating screws for a single, integrated body. This would mean reduced weight and size, for ultimate lightness.
All of this is certainly functional but, above all, also aesthetic. Regarding technical specifications, an increase in RAM is probable, as is support for GSM and CDMA networks. This latter development, if confirmed, would mean only one thing: worldwide distribution of the iPad, without further operator restrictions or limitations.
Finally, according to rumors, the dual-core processor to be used could be based on ARM Cortex 9.
