Ipad 2\.0 – what’s to come

The iPad has been yet another smashing hit for Apple; first launched in early April 2010, the iPad has gone on to sell almost 15 million units in just less than 10 months. Reviews came out largely positive for the new Apple product, with many tech sites and online forums raving about the familiar user interface and long lasting battery life.

Meanwhile, hot on the heels of the tablet’s success, Apple engineers are already working on the next iPad 2.0 and gadget forums are abound with rumours and predictions of what the updated product will feature, especially after a recent report from the Wall Street Journal. Among the comments being circulated:

- Faster, thinner, lighter - most experts agree that the New Ipad will be redesigned to be sleeker than its predecessor.
- Built in cameras - capitalising on the new multimedia chat capabilities and the popularity of FaceTime on the iPhone 4, the new iPad is expected to have at least a front facing camera to support video conferencing. This will help solidify the device’s usefulness in the conference room.
- Better performance - under the hood, the new iPad will feature improved graphics processing and increased storage capacity so you can grow your app collection to new heights.

While designers and engineers are hard at work with the iPad update, rumour mills are postulating that the new iPad will become available as early as mid April, as per Apple’s tradition of upgrading its main product lines annually. Meanwhile, new Android Tablets are trying to break into the market with the upcoming release of the Motorola Xoom and the new Samsung Galaxy Tab with a 10.1 inch screen. These will give the new Apple iPad some stiff competition for those looking for more powerful and affordable tablets.

Worth the wait?

Will the iPad 2.0 be worth the wait? Will current iPad owners update their models for the latest release? Those considering a new iPad purchase are considering whether the new model will offer enough significant improvements over the current version. Those keen to utilise their iPad for video conferencing will likely want to hold out for the newer model.

If you do want to stay up to date with the latest Apple technology releases, you may want to consider the option to rent an iPad for a fixed lease term. This way, you’ll be ready for the iPad 3 or 4 and can always be among the first to get your hands on the newest technology.
