Ars Technica posted the latest rumors on the iPad 2
According to the Japanese Kanteidan Blog, an anonymous Chinese source revealed that the new case shaves 3mm from the length and width, resulting in a slightly smaller bezel. However, the 9.7" LCD display will reportedly remain the same. The casing is also said to be flat on the back, "like the iPod touch," though the iPod touch isn't exactly flat. However, a flattened back would make the iPad easier to use when placed on a table or other flat surface.iPad 2 may arrive with flatter shape, better speakers
Previous rumors suggested that a revised iPad would include a USB port, or possibly an SD card slot. However, Kanteidan's source says the opening on the rear of the case suspected to be a USB port is actually a new position for improved, wider-dynamic range speakers.
