With the Apple iPad now a sales success, there are a number of interesting rumors which can keep the Apple tablet fanatics interested.Well, among the rumors, many signs are pointing to the release of a refreshed version of Apple’s iPad (aka the iPad 2). Hah, a rumor for the detailed specification of Apple iPad 2.
* Front-facing 640×480 camera with FaceTime chat support
* High-res camera on the back (resolution unknown, probably the same 5MP as the iPhone 4)
* Dual-core CPU based on A9 ARM Cortex platform at 1GHz per core (likely to be branded “A5” by Apple, just to confuse consumers)
* Improved sound, with a larger speaker on the back left corner of the iPad
* Addition of a 3-axis gyroscope to improve gaming and interactivity
* RAM increase from 256MB to 512MB
* Screen size will remain at 9.7-inches – no 7-inch or smaller version plannes
* Possible increase in screen resolution, leveraging “Retina display” tech from iPhone 4 (I have my doubts on the ability to do this on a cost-effective basis yet)
* Slightly reduced body size and a flat back instead of a curved one (time to buy some new cases)
* MicroUSB port to meet European regulations on mobile device chargers
* Pricing likely to remain the same as 1st gen models
