• More iPad 2 rumors! This time, the speculation comes via Concord Securities’ Ming-Chi Kuo: a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 processor, front and rear cameras, the same 1,024 x 768 resolution as the first-generation iPad (bummer), a thinner chassis, some sort of anti-reflective display, and WiFi-only, GSM, and CDMA versions so subscribers on numerous wireless carriers can be happy.

No word on availability yet. (Engadget)
