According to reports in the “Wall Street Journal” (http://macte.ch/XWTJU) and “The Telegraph” (http://macte.ch/DKhTK), the iPad 2 is now in production. However, Apple hasn’t officially announced anything, so keep that in mind.

The articles quote “people familiar with the matter” and say here’s what we can expect:

° The new iPad will be thinner and lighter than the first model.

° It will have at least one camera on the front of the device for features like video-conferencing.

° The resolution of the display will be similar to the first iPad.

° The iPad 2 will have more memory and a more powerful graphics processor.

° The new iPad will initially be available through Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc., but not Sprint Nextel or T-Mobile USA in the U.S.

° The new iPad is expected to be released around Easter this year, but no launch date has been confirmed.
