Apple iPad 2 Wish (Guess) List

The much anticipated iPad 2  is going be introduced on March 2 at an Apple event,  but there has been several speculations and rumours, starting with delay in production to iOS 5. But lets not get too ambitious on this.

Well one thing which is almost confirmed is the impending announcement about iPad 2 on March 2 event, after the not so obvious invitation sent to journalists last week.

The following are some of the most expected additions/upgrades

– Certainty is an upgraded processor in the lines of iPhone 4 (ARM).
– Higher resolution , but Retina eye display might be a stretch , but lets see if Apple surprises.
– No 7 inch iPad for now.
– Front facing camera
– CDMA addition to support Verizon.

We might get some new features but at the end of the day Apple could just add the Verixzon support and just lay out a
plan for 2011 just like they have mentioned in the invite.
