The next-gen iPad might kill various competitors since everyone is launching a their first-gen tablets now and that's one more reason for Apple to come out with the iPad 2 when rivals will only have launched their first Tab, PlayBook, or any other device.

Goldman Sachs has gone ahead today and mentioned several features of the next-gen iPad. According to their information, the iPad 2 will be thinner and lighter and will come with an "embedded camera and mini USB." The 7-inch tablet is not yet finished, unlike previous rumors claimed, and it will only be available after the next 9.7-inch iPad. And while we're at analysts taking guesses, the iPad 2 is apparently coming at some point in early Q2 2011. As always we'll take a grain of salt, or two, with such analysts' predictions, but that doesn't mean they're that far off.

In fact, after seeing the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet yesterday, dare I say the first iPad killer, I can also analyze the future iPad 2. In case Apple will not include at least a front-facing camera and some extra ports, like a mini USB connection, the PlayBook will likely kill the iPad 2 too. The Samsung Galaxy Tab, although a very impressive adversary, didn't strike me as a true iPad killer. Maybe I'm too used seeing Android in action left and right to be really surprised by a tablet that had nothing to surprise me with in the first place.

I have an Ipad2.
it does have camera's, It does not have USB. (Which apple confirmed after release they will never do)
It is not 7inches either.
Playbook was flawed before release and not really labeled as an ipad killer.

I smell Spam, Would not click the links folks

theres been rumours of an ipad2+ for a while. Supposedly CPU shortage stopped it getting announced with 4s.
no idea if it will be released as a plus version, of as a 3

Can never see apple supporting USB, not with their own invention of firewire & the other thing recently released

There is no shortage on those CPU's Egg, They are just apple branded and requirements on a common chipset which a lot of companies are using. IF anything apple will have an ample supply. Why they rumour is new apple TV is due soon with that chip in it too.
