I-pad 2 from Feb 2011

Taiwanese component maker  Foxconn has been notified that it should be ready to ship 400,000 to 600,000 units of the next version of i-pad in the next 100 days.Foxconn has reportedly declined to comment on these reports as they need to remain confidential about I-pad 2.

Digitimes reported that Apple had originally expected to begin mass production of the unofficially dubbed iPad 2 in January, but Apple postponed that schedule because the device's firmware is still undergoing testing.

The iPad 2 has been widely expected to come out in the first quarter of 2011 and feature a front-facing camera. Some analysts also expected Qualcomm will provide chips that allow the iPad to run on both CDMA and GSM networks, a so-called "world" iPad. The current 3G version is GSM only.
