Apple Insider links to Japanese Mac blog MacOtakara, that is reporting that future version of the iPad is getting a flat rear to match that of the most recent iPod Touch, in addition a small alteration in dimensions, cutting a reported 3mm off the length and width while retaining an identically sized display.
In alternative words, the future iPad might have a smaller bezel--the black area round the screen, and it will not teeter-totter or slide around once you press on something along the sides.
MacOtakara says an additional substantial modification to the exterior will be the placement of the speaker that may be moved from the side of the unit to the rear. Presumably, this might keep somebody who is holding the device in either portrait or landscape mode less of an opportunity of jamming the speaker holes. MacOtakara additionally says this speaker would be wide range that might provide more evenly distributed audio at off-angle viewing.
One more little tweak MacOtakara is reporting could be a modification within the location to the iPad's ambient light sensor, which is moving from the front of the unit to the rear. This could be a reasonably massive departure in location given where Apple keeps it on the current iPad, similarly as on iPhones, iPods, iMacs, and its MacBook Pro and Air lines.
MacOtakara additionally weighs in on the ancient rumor that the future iPad will gain twin cameras and support for Apple's FaceTime video chat service, saying solely that it is a possibility.
These little tidbits be a part of a slew of other rumored second-generation iPad details together with dual support for GSM and CDMA, cameras that match those found within the iPhone 4, availability in time for Christmas (we can go ahead and cross that one amongst the list).
In addition, an analyst report from this morning says the yet-to-be-announced device will be packing a dual-core processor.
