A few days ago we told you that the rate of rumors and leaks about the iPad 2 had increased with the proximity to the New Year. Today we can refine something else with the help of the first accessories that have been seen for the next edition of the Apple tablet. It is a line of covers and housings that, due to their design, have given more than obvious clues to some novelties in the iPad 2 that we will see in stores, if the deadlines are met, starting next April.
In fact, this new set of second skins for the iPad only reaffirms some of the most obvious points of the parade of rumors that have been handled for the second generation of tablets designed in Cupertino. To begin with, we verify that, as with the iPhone cases, a small circular hole appears at the back of the case. Skipping the unlikely possibility that it is a design error, it seems certain that that little hole is there so as not to hinder one of the star functions of the iPad 2: the rear camera.
Following this trail, we could take a look at the front of the case hoping to find a similar hole for the possible secondary camera. But none of that. Unless the secondary sensor is located very close to the screen, according to these cases everything would indicate that the iPad 2 would lack a camera for video chat. In any case, due to the size and design of these housings, the presence of the front camera cannot be determined.
But let's continue. In the last chapter we gave you on possible new features of the iPad 2 made reference to a new speaker would improve the output signal without the help of accessories extra. Well, if we pay attention to the clues that these cases give that have been seen with some advance, this speaker could have been confirmed. And is that in the lower margin of the housings a hole conveniently located at the height of where we should find the aforementioned speaker has been left.
