Apple Ipad 2

Are the rumors true? Today, reports are being released that the Apple Ipad 2 is now in production.

According to Mashable Apple’s production partners are already hard at work on the new model of iPad, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.The fact that Apple is working on an iPad 2, of course, is common knowledge. The famously tight-lipped company rarely talks about upcoming product launches, and isn’t talking now. But Apple has never denied that it intends to follow up on one of its most successful products.

A prototype of the iPad 2 was apparently spotted by a Reuters reporter after the launch of News Corp’s iPad publication, the Daily, last week. And an unconfirmed report from DigiTimes in December said that Foxconn, the Chinese makers of the iPhone and iPad, had been ordered to manufacture the iPad 2 in market-ready quantities by the end of February.

The Journal report, which carries three bylines and cites “people familiar with the matter,” offers a few more nuggets of detail. It confirms the widely-held belief that the iPad 2 will have a front-facing camera, enabling use of the Facetime videoconferencing app.

I’ve been waiting for the release of the Ipad 2. I’m still not sure I’m going to take the bait just yet. Maybe I’ll wait for the Ipad 3.
