“Two cameras, front and rear. Slimmer. Lighter. A better-resolution display,” P.E.D. reports. “Those are the salient details in a Reuters report Friday describing the next-generation iPad, now entering production for what is presumed to be an April launch.”

Those are the type of changes I would expect, sounds credible. Will certainly buy one at this point. 2011, with this is the iPhone on VZ will make for an even better year for Apple. Hope to find some shares in my stocking.
Inquiring minds want to know if Fred Mertz has a life outside the newsfeeds……I mean, doesn’t Ethel tempt you at least occasionally with her boo-tay?
Bring manufacturing back to the US.
Unless they make the price lower I’m not biting. It’s overpriced.
@troll… er tommyr…
You get what you pay for… nothing else comes close.
WS shysters trying to deflate iPad sales. Everything mentioned about the iPad 2 has been on the wish list. WS thru their media whores are trying their best to influence iPad purchases. The specially targeting corporate. Why do you think it is Reuters spreading this news? Because it is recognized as a credible news outlet. Why? I cannot fathom, since they are all paid hacks. In the coming days, news will bebthat the ipad2 is imminent.
@JIM-TIV
usually, yes. but it’s not for electronic device. today you can get a good laptop or mobile device at lower price with a good quality. you are not right. tommyr is right. Apple is overpriced compared to others. with that money, you can get sort of high end laptop with core i5 processor (even dedicated graphic card). you don’t know the situation or competition on the PC market. for example, 13inch macbook pro doesn’t even have dedicated graphic card, doesn’t have core i5 or higher. with $1300, no dedicated graphic card, only core 2 duo processor? I don’t buy it. you can get easily high quality PC laptop with that price. core i7-860M, 1GB dedicated graphic card, 640GB HDD. Apple doesn’t even offer 640GB or 500GB with $1300 price. what a shame. quality? I don’t know. unfortunately, Apple has one of high broken laptop rate along with dell, HP, gateway even though their repair rate is number one. there are high number three companies which offer laptops very durable. Acer, Sony, Asus.
I don’t think that you don’t know the meaning what you get you pay for electronic device.
@edward
Where are you getting your statistics from? I believe you are just plain wrong.
My suggestion, for people who think that Apple products are over priced and/or have lesser value than the other products, is to not buy Apple products.

I like Fred Mertz. I think it’s an awesome user name. I wish I had thought of it.

I’ll just assume you aren’t a native English speaker as some of your post made my brain ache. I did some looking around though and went to Sony’s website to see if I could really get a computer with those insane specs for such a cheap price. Their Z series line was the only series I could find with an i7 processor. After selecting the following options:
1) i7 2.8 TB -> 3.47
2) 4GB DDR3
3) 128 GB SSD
4) 13″ screen
5) Windows 7 Ultimate
came out to about $2400..a good grand higher than your $1300 quote while a completely decked out 13″ MacBook Air comes in at around $1800 dollars. While, yes, the Sony definitely takes the cake in the processor department, nearly every spec it loses or ties in. Same amount of RAM, 128 GB bigger hard drive on MB Air, same size screen and you don’t have to live with Windows. The Air also wins on weight and battery life. I’ll take 7 hours of battery life in an almost 2 lb. package over your i7 any day of the week.
It’s about “MacLleaks”!

Not to mention the fact that the Sony product quality has dropped tremendously over the past 10 years. There was a point in time where they made the best electronics, today it’s cheapened and no where near as good as it was.
Old myths die hard… it will take a few more years to convince folks about Apple’s value for the dollar.
@edward,
Please find me a PC with the same exact specs as any of my Macs that costs less. I’ll pay you 20% commission and will buy any PC that meets the same exact specifications.
I’m looking to buy a MacBook Air 11″, a MacBook Pro 17″, a Mini and an iMac 27″ during the next 6 months.
Go ahead, I’m waiting for some links and have money in my pocket.
Do leaks sprout, or spout?
@Edward
And which of those PCs run OS X? NONE! And that’s a very big part of the value of Mac. Also, my MacBook Pro is now almost 5 years old, and NEVER been in for a repair except to put a Corsair Force F-160 (180 GB) SSD in it?
So, what repairs are tou talking about? Probably who drop them, abuse them, etc.
@Edward/troll
There are higher spec laptops out there than the mbp.
But as we all know specs don’t mean much.
A few droids have higher pixel count cameras than the iPhone 4. But the iPhone 4 takes the better pics.
And besides, you are comparing Mac osx to winblows… It’s like forcing people to run an OS made using only adobe flash.
And don’t give me the “but win7 rocks!!” BS. While win7 IS better than the previous ms crap OS… It still has many issues.
I run win7 at home also, my gaming pc. It just can’t beat my mbp on just about anything except pure power numbers.
And it STILL has issues connecting to the rest of my macs. IP I can connect, browse for my macs… Only can see them after I manually connect to them first. All my macs see the win7 machine no problem
@tommyr
If you first and only complaint about it is the price, then you shouldn’t be buying one regardless of price.
Well maybe these corp’s will see the light before I die and start bringing back production to the USA.
We used to make great shit and not have secrets revealed.
I’d pay more to employ Americans and not have our entire society outsourced to third-world countries.
It’s bullshit, and slowly killing us.
@edward
“high quality PC laptop”
(a.k.a. “Unicorn”)
And the winner is….. Edward! Congratulations, you have earned the official title of troll of the conversation!!! Hooray!
Apple’s relationship with its Chinese manufacturers has been getting stronger and stronger. But Apple doesn’t forget these kinds of things.
Of course, it’s definitely possible that this is intentionally being leaked. If they announce the next iPad soon, they’ll want to minimize the consumer anger. Tons of people will have bought the iPad 1 this season.
Wait for the new screen, people! iPhone 4 (and Touch) owners know what I’m talkin’ bout.
