Covert Video of Apple IPad 2 Just Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday January 12, 2011 @05:02AM from the more-of-the-same dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This video has just been snuck out of the CES show in Las Vegas last week. Apparently this prototype iPad 2 was given to a Chinese iPad accessory manufacturer, presumably in order to help with their case designs for the launch of the iPad 2, rumored to be February 2011."

You can clearly tell that it's only a mock-up; a shell of what could be the new case design and a printout of the screen pasted on the front so I wouldn't call it a 'leak' of the device.

  They also said that the iPhone 4 was ugly and that Apple would never release something that looked like that.
  Thats because they were holding it wrong.
This wasn't made by Apple. by rayd75 · 2011-01-12 05:18 · Score: 4, Interesting

It's a nice-looking iPad 2 style case for a first generation iPad. It's well-known that Apple only provides dimensions to case manufacturers in advance of product launches. At best, this is a manufacturer's attempt to visualize what they'll be working with but it's really nothing more than a first generation iPad in a one-off shell.

Personally, I was expecting to see Rick Astley sing to me when I clicked this link. You missed a good opertunity, Slashdot...

We use a ton of them for disability support, some of the apps on iOS (iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone) are replacing $2-5,000 stand alone dedicated devices.
A netbook or a laptop are over kill and or too complex for autistic kids or the programs aren't supported well or are very complicated and expensive.
We are replacing old Windows applications that cost 800-1200 dollars with an iPad and an app.
So some users a keyboard and mouse aren't as good of an interface as a touch screen.
