In all honesty, I think the original iPad looks better then the iPad2.
 
Hurry, get this out fast. The sooner iPad 2 gets released, the sooner I can get iPad 3 with retina display.
 
Apple uses a laser to create tiny holes for the speaker that are absolutely invisible to the naked eye and that cannot be felt. There is no need whatsoever to create ugly visible holes. Whoever created this mockup has no idea what Apple is doing.

That's why it's a mockup. People don't make it to win design awards, but to give you an idea of what it would look like.

Looking at that mockup reminds me of a fact that if you stick any kind of connector on the top of the device, it's going to be right where the antenna surface is on the WiFi+3G model...
 
Looks cheaper. Like the case is stamped instead of machined. Hopefully they switched to a cheaper manufacturing process that will be reflected in increase spec per dollar or a lower price.

It's an effing mockup!

I don't know about everyone else, but I much prefer the curved back and the reassuring weight of the current one. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised though.
 
That has to be the sorriest mock-up ever!! MacRumors, please cease from disgracing yourself and remove that atrocious thing off your site.
 
Have a little faith. Apple has been pretty consistent in releasing products that have the highest of build quality. I think people are way to "bent" over a cheap mock-up that, if even legit, would simply be used for case designs and stuff. Ports and grills would only be representative for locating cut-outs.
 
That speaker grill looks like nothing I have ever seen on an Apple product before. Unless Apple made office intercoms in the 50's?

I also wonder about the dock connector. It enters the case on a curve at about 45 degrees... that cannot be right, it must use a universal dock lead and if it's not right then the whole casing design mock up is off the map. No?
