Less than a week before the expected announcement of the Apple iPad, a series of photographs leaks, showing off some of the new design and features on the sequel to Apple's very successful tablet...

again, nothin special from apple, but surely it'll be widely spread and adored...

What do you mean nothing special? How can you tell if this is special or not just by seeing basically the shell of the device. I don't have an iPad and probably will never buy one, but it's so annoying reading all the criticism of a device that hasn't even been revealed yet. But then again, even if it comes with the ability to print out hundred dollar bills, most of you guys will still complain.

thats not a hate comment... + i based my comment on the preliminary specs found on engadget- a5 processor, same display 512ram and front camera...
Maybe may comment is not well timed and inappropriate now, but i do thing that apple has a magic way over people...
Apple has started a thing called fanboyism and it spreads all over, and is worst than aids...
Just go and see the wp7 fanboys
And me, well, i'm just born as a critic...

512 mb of ram would b an upgrade from 256mb

But its still far from being Awesome. Majority of Android tablets and dual core phones have 1gb+ so for Apple to come out with just 512 means its already behind the competition when its released.

The back of it is ugly IMO. For some reason silver is just so 2009 now.. Apple need an anodised black version asap.

This is not iPad 2. These are pictures of a mockup built from specifications gained from case prototypes. The pics above were published weeks ago except they never claimed to be the actual iPad.

If that wasn't evidence enough, the dead giveaways are that
1) This device is "running" iOS 3.2, not 4.x or 5 as would the legitimate iPad 2.
2) Under no circumstances will Apple label the device "iPad 2" on the back. No iPhone has ever carried it's version name (3G, 3Gs, 4) on the back.
3) The device in the pictures is made from a different metal than Apple's aluminum as evidenced by the difference in the way light refracts off the legit iPad and this device.

If by some freak chance this does turn out to be iPad 2, it looks like garbage compared to the original.

One more thing, no camera icon either the facetime icon in the homescreen.

It has the date of Feb 27th right on the screen, so your comments are all worthless!

Omg incredible it looks exactly the same!

Has everyone ignored the fact that there is an SD card slot on the top right(if looking from the back) of the device? This is not the volume switch since that is on the opposite side!
