You're right, I should have been more polite and of course you're right that people can read. However, it seems that many don't read the original article. It's frustrating to read the forums only to see people speculating on something that is explained in the article in plain text with no room for misinterpretation. All I ask is that people read the article before jumping into the comments. It's a common courtesy, just as much as politeness is.

Awesome. Generally people reply with more personal attacks and insults, if they respond at all. While I didn't mean to target you personally, thanks for the mature and well stated reply. It was welcomed and refreshing, thank you :).

Hope everyone is having a good Friday and a great weekend!
 
Oh, hello there iPad 2. I think I'm ready to purchase you.

I'm ready to buy one too.

The number of negative posts here amazes me. Mostly people are nit-picking about things that boil down to personal preference. If you don't like a camera on the back, don't use it! Its not like it adds weight or seriously detracts from the design in some way... nor would the sale price be affected by its exclusion (only the profit margin). I'm not sure yet what I'll do with that camera, but I'm pleased that it WILL be there. As for the speaker grill being ugly, I hope they chose the best grill for its function: good sound while protecting the speaker from damage. The looks are fine to me.

What I want to see is a light weight, full-featured device with plenty of speed, memory, and battery life along with a good-looking display... and damn the price; I'm tired of seeing Apple cripple the devices they sell just to achieve some price-point. Give me the features and I'll pony up the dollars.
 

What the hell are you talking about with all of your posts? I was saying the design of the leaked iPad 2 mockup is not in line with Apple's current devices, not that the current iPad is not in line with Apple's current devices.
 
This has fake all over it. "iPad 2"? Even if these are prototype images, Apple generally does not name product revisions with numerical increments (the iPhone may be an exception). As others have mentioned, a rear facing camera? I can't imagine holding a large iPad to take a picture. A front facing camera makes more sense for video conferencing.

Fake. Period.

Lol, u should really practice reading once in a while.
 
Bet its gonna be named iPad2.. What else would you call it?
Anyways, hope they have front face cam for Facetime/Skype video.
I agree the back cam is useless. :eek:

Ok for the last time, I KNOW it's a fake, I KNOW it's a proposed design from a case manufacturer. My comments along with others relate to the HYPOTHETICAL design and my FAKE comment was to those who claimed it was real.

Maybe YOU should practice reading comprehension sometime :p

I agree. Fake.
 
Definitely fake, first of all, it looks just God-awful.

Second, Apple NEVER puts the generation number ANYWHERE on the product.
