iPad 2 keynote?


Hopefully, most of us are excited about the iPad2, and that apple will resolve most of the complaints from the first generation iPad's. An iPad 2 event is rumored to be on March 2nd in San Francisco. Unfortunately, Steve Jobs won't be making his famous keynotes wearing his turtle neck sweaters due to his medical leave. In his place will be with either be Phil Schiller or Tim Cook.

So I just thought I would mention a couple of rumors that seem plausible for features that will most likely be on the iPad 2. Like the iPhone 4, the iPad 2 is rumored to feature a 7inch retina display. This is a pretty big change because the iPad 2 will be in the same category as the Motorola Xoom, and Rim's Playbook. In addition, the iPad 2 will feature wifi and a GSM/CDMA model. This will allow Verizon user's to purchase and use this device. One big complaint from people was no camera on the first generation iPad's. Well, Apple looks to be adding a front facing camera for facetime, and a camera in the back for stills and video. This rumor arose from iOS 4.3 which featured the facetime app, and from developing iPad 2 cases that support that claim. Furthermore, Apple may finally remove the home button. In iOS4.3 people have found gestures to be incorporated. These gestures allow people to close apps, switch between apps without the use of the home button. Only time will tell, and hopefully that time will be March 2nd.
