The new apple iPad 2 in January 2011 prototype at the event had a front-facing camera at the top edge of the glass screen. Another unnamed source confirmed that the iPad 2 existed but didn’t confirm whether it was at the event.According to publication Economy Daily News, the new upcoming Apple iPad 2 will have a video phone (FaceTime), better mobility options, a USB port, Retina Display, and 3-axis gyroscopes to make gaming better.The iPad 2 is also rumored to utilize smaller size panels with thinner glass. Apple announced the original iPad in January 2010. Based on this, I believe Apple will announce the new iPad in January 2011.This sounds like an insane rumor why would Apple let one of the most highly anticipated products out in a room full of people with cameras? but Reuters generally doesn’t fudge around and write sensationalized articles to juice up page views. Of course, the unnamed eyewitness could very well just be mistaken.Still, we all know that an Apple iPad 2 is not too far away and that having multiple cameras will be one of the major selling points. This will enable the Apple tablet to do FaceTime video calls with other Mac, iPod touch and iPhone 4 users.

This is just the latest rumor we’ve seen on the Apple iPad 2, as a site is claiming to have the next-generation display in its possession. This display is supposedly about a millimeter thinner than the current generation but there’s no word on the resolution other than it doesn’t appear to be a Retina Display.The last Apple tablet was released in early April 2010 and the company generally likes to stick with a yearly update schedule, so we should see an official announcement in the not-too-distant future. It couldn’t come at a better time, as we’re seeing the competition step up its game. Apple iPad 2 by Apple and New-Digital-Gadgets.Com
