AppleInsider is going out on a limb and suggesting the Apple iPad 2 may be available for purchase shortly after next week’s announcement of the next generation iPad.
They say people in the know, who have been correct in past instances of Apple product releases, are saying Apple is “preparing several of its operating segments to perform functions during the second half of next week that are representative of nothing short of a large scale, consumer-oriented product roll out (not just an announcement).”
It’s also noted Apple is expected to release the “second-generation iPad in three variants and several different capacities. In addition to WiFi and GSM-based models targeted at AT&T and a broad range of European 3G providers, a CDMA version catering to Verizon and some Far Eastern providers is also reportedly in the cards. These models are reportedly code-named K93, K94, and K5, and carry initial build volumes of 1.9 million, 2.3 million and 0.8 million, respectively.”
Follow our live coverage of the iPad 2 launch announcement from Apple this coming Wednesday for more information and details on the specifications.
AppleInsider goes on to say the new iPad will have a new speaker design, DisplayPort connection instead of an SD or USB port, a display panel with anti-reflective technology which will helping viewing in bright sunlight, a dual core processor with an A5 chip, along with faster memory and 512MB RAM, and a forward facing camera for Apple’s FaceTime video conferencing feature, keeping in line with previous rumors from the past few months.
