Kevin Rose from Digg has suggested that the iPad 2 could be announced within the next 3 to 4 weeks, possibly on February 1st. As well as providing the announcement date for the next generation Apple Tablet, he also suggests that it won’t have a Retina display. The lack of Retina display falls in line with what we have seen before around the web.
Although the iPad 2 is expected to be announced in the next few weeks, we still believe it will be launching towards the end of March or early in April to follow on a year from when the original iPad was announced. Kevin’s words add to various other iPad 2 rumors. [Read more…]

Just before Christmas, pictures of a mini iPad (perhaps a 7 inch screen) were circulated around the internet. Although it couldn’t be confirmed if it was the real deal or not, it did look quite convincing in that the proportions were about right, the bezel was quite thin and you could see iOS (or a photograph of iOS) running on the screen.
Late Christmas day, we received a tip from Edd Withers who claims he was sent more pictures of a mini iPad. Although we’d love to think they were the real thing, they just don’t quite convince us as much as we want. [Read more…]

This post is intends to track all the rumors including what size screen it will have, what type of screen as well as many hardware changes. Also, iPad 2 release dates, or rumored release dates we should say, will be mentioned.
A lot of the rumors start with comparisons against the iPhone 4. This includes the Retina Display, front (and back) facing cameras as well as the flat back. [Read more…]
Some new iPad 2 rumors are floating around today. This time the rumors hint at a thinner bezel all around as well as a flat back and a larger speaker.

This includes the obvious larger screen real estate usage that makes it easier to see what’s on over the next 7 days.
