Breaking...iPad 2 spotted at CES!?

Source

Well just the shell at least...
A rear shell purportedly from the second-generation iPad has been spotted at the 2011 International CES within the iLounge Pavilion. The shell, which has been marked by developer Gopod Mobile with “iPad 2” and “128GB” logos that would not appear on the actual device, is being shown paired with an iPad 2-specific foldable rechargeable battery pack developed by the company, and depicts the revised device’s redesigned curves, ports, and cameras; it is said by Gopod to represent the actual appearance of the as-yet-unreleased thinner and slightly smaller iPad. Three full-sized photos follow; additional photos can be seen in our 2011 CES Photo Gallery.

I knew that !! was gonna happen. This "ipad 2" is gonna be what the ipad originally should have been, and then they gonna hold of on one major feature so they can keep it for the third gen. Apple know how to make money, !!s basically legal[..].

man that moto xoom is str8 !!ting on this unless apple come up with some mind blowing !!

not saying people should pick that big !! up and take photos like an actual camera...


but it doesn't have led flash on the backside of this either ...


and i[..]ume they wont be allowing adobe flash anytime soon unless thats the second major annoucement this year from Apple. I don't see anything groundbreaking here .... it would have been sweet if they decided to put a projector function to pace themselves in a different route but nope.


xoooooooooooooooooom xooooooooooom xoooooom!

even if thats the ipad 2 (which is not). that !! is gonna be wack. same old IOS !!.. [pic]
xoom FTW

Let's all make[..]umptions before Apple makes their announcement. That was about 8% successful for the last fifteen years. [pic]

Let's be honest. The iOS/Android market has followed the model of Apple introducing a new or refined (already existing) technology and the Android handset makers rush to outspec the iOS products and flood the market of as many products as possible in order to take a cut of market share.

Now at CES, Android is finally entering the Tablet market with Honeycomb, thing is we only know the approximate specs of the device and the approximate parameters we expect Honeycomb to work. This leaves enough wiggle room for Moto and other Android tabletmakers along with Google to make their final adjustments before sending the devices out for production. I don't remember there being an FCC filing for Xoom, so there's still time for Moto to make whatever adjustments they need to make in order to 1up the next iPad. Same with Samsung. Same with everyone else.

Apple's R&D essentially provides the technology and facilitates progress in three important product markets (Notebooks, Smartphones and Tablets). Developers see that which is why Rovio gained initial success on the iOS market and in order for them to get Angry Birds to become a success on the Android market they made it free. That might be a "win" for Android users, but what is that saying about the Android market as a whole that one of the top App makers in the world would rather give away their most successful product instead of make more profit?

I'm not trying to !! on Android, but let's put it into perspective here. If there was no iPad there would be no XOOM. The XOOM had to be better and more attractive than the iPad...but will that last through the iPad's next revision?

And that's just a mockup of the next iPad. This is an extremely strange time because there are very little details coming out regarding features or development of the next iPad.

good point ^
but honestly..apple can improve everything on the ipad, speaker, camera, screen quality..
but if theyre still using the same old IOS 4.0 its gonna suck[..]..of course not for the people that buy apple product just to have it... its gonna sell of course..

so honestly, i really hope apple comes out with something new... tired of the same IOS lol. already sick of my iphone 4. so boring even with jailbreak lol
