The rumors about what the iPad 2 will and won’t include continue to appear, and will do so until next Wednesday when the new tablet is expected to be revealed.
While iPad fans really want the iPad 2 to be something special, it is sounding decidedly like Apple is going to unveil a new tablet that only really achieves iPad 1.5 status.
The latest rumors hitting Engadget are that the iPad 2 is indeed thinner than its predecessor, and has a slight spec bump meaning most likely a faster processor (A5 chip) and more memory (512MB). There’s also the must-have two cameras for FaceTime… but that’s about it.
Talk of a higher resolution display or an SD card slot, will be met with disappointment. iPad 2 is looking like a revision to tighten up the existing device rather than an complete evolution of it.
Engadget claims the sources telling them about iPad 2 have been very reliable in the past, so they don’t doubt what’s being said. The lack of new features is also being explained as linked to the engineering problems we’ve already heard about.If that’s the case it looks as though Apple has chosen to discard new features to meet their deadline.
Of course, everything is just rumor at the moment, and Apple could surprise everyone with something that really will blow the competition away and force our wallets open. I just hope people aren’t building themselves up to0 much. We don’t want any tears next week.
