There are a lot of rumors on the Internet saying that the iPad 2 will be launch some when in the April and the features of iPad 2 will be announce in end of January or February.
For those who haven’t bought an iPad but wish to buy one, like me, do you think it is it worth to wait? I’m not sure. I hope it is worth to wait. If it is really launch in April, it may take another half year for iPad 2 to be available in Malaysia, which is around October 2011.
Anyway, if the new iPad 2 is not much better than iPad and it is much more expensive, then I may consider to buy the old version of iPad.
These are the feature that I hope the iPad 2 will have:
Higher resolution for HD movies and photo viewing.
Retina Screen – The screen used by iPhone 4.
Same physical size with old iPad – Hope that Apple won’t resize the device because the current size is just nice for portable, web browsing and books reading.
Cameras – Front and rear camera for taking nice photos and FaceTime. 5 mega pixels will be more than enough.
Faster CPU and more RAM to support 3D games higher screen resolution.
Slimmer – Maybe iPhone 4 like design.
Compatibility – Compatible with iPad’s applications.
So, are you going to wait for the new iPad2? What features do you wish to have for the new “iPad 2″?
