Not my taste, white iPad sounds very tacky. But it's all about choice and personal taste so I don't see how people are rating this negative. Choice is a good thing.
 
Here's a mockup I found with a plastic back. I wouldn't say it's tacky, but not my taste.

I agree; choice is good and it can help promote more sales. I personally wouldn't buy a white iPad or a white iPhone, but that isn't going to make me deride anyone who does get one.

that's exactly what I described in my post, and exactly how I envisaged it.

If that released Id buy that without any hesitation (by the way, why would the back be plastic? It would just be the same as the iPhone 4, no?.)
 
It's not my cup o tea, but thats not good enough reason not to make one, plenty of people would prefer it to the black version, so why not? If one doesn't like it, don't buy it.

I will say however, that that mockup above this post looks quite nice.

No reason, I just assumed it looked to be acrylic or plastic. I suppose it could also be glass.
 
Not again, more vaporware hype! It doesn't even look good, the White iPhone 4 at least looked nice

thats kind of concerning, though... wouldnt a piece of glass that big be a huge problem for breaking? i feel like at least the smaller pieces on the iphone are harder to break...
 
The general consensus seems to be that the new iPad will be thinner, faster, and with improved (but not Retina display).

Please be more careful with your punctuation. Parentheticals should be able to be removed from the sentence without changing the meaning. You meant:

"...and with improved (but not Retina) display."

It's not just about you, you know.

If you want to understand the world better, it would be more effective to adopt a more global worldview, not one so USA-centric. Up to you.

it's called expressing an opinion. You'll read a lot of them if you insist on reading a forum. If you don't like reading them, then don't go on a forum.

Yuk! I would much prefer sexy coloured annodised aluminum iPads then a plasticky white one, especially since their computers seem to be dropping white completely. Maybe they'll finally use their morphing led shell patent where the shell changes colours!

+1

Totally agree ...

Form before function...can see ACE totally doing this.

You know what is hilarious about this post? The fact that one of the biggest apple hating trolls on this website is posting this comment from an iPhone.

Some people must really need attention :rolleyes:
 
White iPhone - Jefferson Airplane

They can't do a white phone, why would there be a rumor about a white iPad?
Agree with many posters above. White iPad would look terrible.
 
Hole

I cant understand why anybody thinks this hole is for the psensor... There is no hole in my iPad pressent...so why would there be one in the iPad 2 besides for a camera?

The psensor in my ipad is almost not visible. We cant see it on this crapy pic, even if it was 4 times the real size. So my gues is that this hole is for the cam, and that we cant see the psensor hole.

Tho, this says nothing about if its real or not.
 
Like the old iMac G4....?

A brilliant hinged head design - one is sitting on my desk right now.

A true design classic! Although mine is currently sitting unloved and and slightly yellowed in my Fathers house.

I hope one day Apple might make a clamping monitor arm as beautiful as that one to optionally attach to the current Gen iMacs.

Well it's not a case of not being able to 'do' a white iPhone it's more of a case of not being able do one that meets the Apple quality standards.

The bezel under the front glass is a totally different thing to the process what is done on the rear of the iPhone4.
 
No white iPhone = No white iPad

You guys just don't get it...there will be no more white anything. Apple only said they were coming out with a white iPhone as a marketing strategy. Sure, there were white iPhone "leaks" and even announcement but it was all to steal headline way from Android.

You do not have to believe me, because I am sure Apple fans will never believe unless it comes straight from the mouth of Steve Jobs himself.

Well, guess what? Here is an interview of Steve Jobs telling telling us that the never was a white iPhone 4: goo.gl/HWvZF
