The clever guys over at Boy Genius Report have got a good post up today detailing some of the latest iPad 2 rumors from DigiTimes. There’s talk about which connectivity options it will have and about when shipping to Apple will begin, as we’ve seen a lot of over the last few weeks. More interestingly, there is BGR’s rundown of what they feel are the most solid iPad 2 rumors so far:
- Slightly thinner bezel
- Slightly thinner body, tapered edges, flat back
- Front and rear cameras
- Better anti-smudge and anti-glare screen
- Possibly a dual core 1GHz CPU
- 512MB of RAM
- Redesigned rear speaker, volume buttons
- Verizon CDMA unit
If that list turns out to be mostly accurate, I’d be mostly happy. I’d definitely like to see a dual-core processor and the two cameras. I also like the idea of a flat back and love the idea of a better anti-smudge and anti-glare screen. The 512MB of RAM would be disappointing – I’d like to see 1GB.
What do you all think of the ‘solid rumor’ list? If it proves mostly true, would you be happy / interested in getting the next gen iPad?

For me the main thing it needs is something closer to 1TB of storage. 64GB doesn't hold much video.
Most desktops don't have that much. Can't see that in a mobile device anytime real soon.
I’ve been working on with a company developing a 3D video compression for iPAD, I believe they have two cameras on the front and a screen with autostereoscopic retina display. Should be pretty cool.
