Rumour: rear-mounted speaker for iPad 2

Leaked pictures of iPad 2 cases suggest that the forthcoming new tablet PC from Apple is set to feature both a camera a rear-mounted speaker.

The latest case image was spotted on retails goods wholesaler Alibaba.com clearly showing a hole in the back of the case where a purported iPad 2 camera will sit.

One year on

Apple is expected to reveal more about the plans for the iPad 2 in January, a year on from the initial unveiling of the iPad by Steve Jobs.

The pics of this latest iPad 2 case are from a company called C & T Industry based in Guangdong, China.

In addition to the hole for a rear-facing camera at the top, the case also sports a speaker grille on the bottom rear side. Ideal for those that don't necessarily like using headphones with their iPads in the comfort of their own home, yet want a better sound reproduction from their tablet.

Flat-backed design

The iPad 2 is also rumoured to feature a completely flat back (in the tradition of the iPhone 4) unlike the iPad's slightly curved rear.

The new iPad is also rumoured to be 0.12 inches thinner than its predecessor, feature a higher-resolution screen and be capable of FaceTime video chat.

Additionally, some sources are suggesting the new iPad may have an SD card slot and a dual core processor.
