iPad 2 Rumored to be in Production
Stoobalou writes "The normally sober and sometimes accurate Wall Street Journal is claiming that Apple's iPad 2 is currently in production. Foxconn might be producing a limited number of prototype samples of the Second Coming of the iPad but we're pretty sure full production won't start until Steve Jobs (or whoever will be donning the black turtleneck in his sickly stead) strides onto the stage at the official launch keynote."
Actually the iPhone models were:
So, Apple has been all over the place with its naming "conventions".

It's continuously relevant.
Also, will it have video-out capability yet? Or possibly video-in so I can use it to pretend I have a portable DVD player?
The very idea is heretical: A video-out capability would imply the existence of screens more perfect than the one Apple sees fit to include.
A video-in capability would imply the existence of things worth seeing that are not already in the app store.
Absurd to reason and dangerous to faith.
I hate to be yet another voice claiming great iPad battery life against your direct experience, but. . . seriously, did you have a defective unit or something? In my experience a few hours of reading won't even drop my battery gauge by more than a few percent. Hell a few hours of video isn't even a problem.
The only problem I ever have with battery life is when I want to completely drain it, as they say one should occasionally do. I think the damn thing harvests power from ambient radio waves.
