??? What we know ????Apple is holding an iPad-related event Wednesday: The invitations went out last week, with an image showing a Mac OS calendar page peeled back to reveal an iPad peeking out from behind. The caption: “Come see what 2011 will be the year of.” Wednesday’s Apple event will be held in San Francisco, at 10 a.m. local time. And iPad-related topics are on the agenda. ???? ????What we don’t know ????Everyone’s been calling the next iPad the “iPad 2,” but no one has come out and reported that the iPad 2 will, in fact, be called the iPad 2. Apple’s been known to throw curve balls* when it comes to naming its next-gen products (like, for example, the iPhone 3G and 3GS). ????How much internal storage it’ll have: Will we get an iPad 2 model with 128GB of built-in flash storage, or will the largest next-gen iPad still top out at 64GB? Hard to say. ???? ????What we think we know ????Slimmer profile, less heft: Just about everyone seems to agree that the redesigned iPad will be “smaller” and “lighter” than its predecessor, complete with a flatter back and tapered edges. ????A camera, or two: Another consistent iPad 2 rumor has it that Apple will fix one of the biggest criticisms of the original iPad — namely, the lack of a camera. ????Same-resolution display: The latest word and some leaked spy shots have revealed that the revamped iPad display will come with a 1,024-by-768-resolution display, same as the original. ????Faster, beefier* processor: “Dual-core” is the gotta-have spec* when it comes to this year’s hottest smartphones and gadgets, and the iPad 2 is no exception. Most believe the revamped tablet will get an updated, dual-core version of Apple’s A4 “system-on-a-chip,” complete with 512MB of RAM (double the 256MB RAM in the original iPad) and some seriously souped-up* graphics capabilities. ????Better speaker: The new iPad is reportedly in line for an improved, “wide-ranged” speaker. ????No SD card: Early buzz on Apple adding an SD card slot to the iPad has given way to near-universal agreement that it won’t actually happen.(SD-Agencies) |
