iPad 2 launch ready

You may have heard already, but Apple is set to launch the next iPad. The super/ultra cool electronic window pill (iPad 2) is yet to be named but is believed to be available some time in April next year (according to "reports"). The company that manufactures products for Apple, Foxconn Electronics is getting pumped to make 600,000 units of the iPad 2 over the next 100 days in their massive Chinese slave powered sweatshops where no-one gets decent pay or pay at all  factories.
The electro-powered tablet will be shipping around February after some crappy firmware set the whole thing back schedule (not that you'd actually care because you can't buy them til' their in shops).
Lots of people are expecting a huge number of new features in the new iPad such as the over-rated Retina Display (smaller but more numerous pixels for a better image quality), dual-cameras (camera on the inside and outside) to enable the Facetime chat, bigger/smaller screens (for more variety = more money) and a thinner shell (for posh people that are convinced the smaller a computer is, the better). Not to mention a built in USB port for (obviously) "USB's", cameras, printer cords, mouse cords, keyboards, speakers and lamps. Oh wait! Apple is too stupid to put something as simple as a USB port in because it's not cool.
Ok fine if there is a USB port, let's hope for a USB 2.0 at the least (USB 3.0 optimal).

The thing I'm confused with is why are they releasing a new iPad when the old one is pretty good and is only about a year old? They could squeeze so much more cash out of the bad boy before laying smack-down with the new one. One could say that the reason for this quick release is that Apple consider the iPad 2 so damn good that it just can't wait. Or maybe people are complaining that they can't see their girlfriends/boyfriends on video chat. Or maybe it's that long line of wannabe professional competitors that are hastily producing iPad equivalents. But then, dear Apple fan who cares? Just hope it's a good one.

  2. Yeah Apple should have kept the current ipad going for longer. Most of these new features haven't been officially announced yet but there's a good chance that there will be cameras.
    I used the internet. Oh yeah, if only 5 Apple workers knew about the next product, then how would they get the people in the factories to make them and people to design it?
