Oh, boy! Here we go again. We genuinely believe that rumors about the iPad 2 will never stop until the minute before it’s supposed to launch. But of course, it will be then followed by rumors of iPad 3 and so goes the cycle. Anyway, here’s the latest goss on the tablet.


Apparently, the iPad 2 will come integrated with NFC (near-field communication) as well as the RFID (radio-frequency ID). These are two things that enable, among other things, mobile payment using the tablet. The iPad 2 won’t be the first if it were to come with the chip, but given that the technology has yet to take off maybe Apple will come up with its own mechanism to monetize the concept better.

Next is the rumor that the iPad 2 will have a carbon body. Using carbon will certainly make the iPad 2 significantly lighter than the current aluminum shell, but it doesn’t come cheap. Supposedly Apple has this one patented already, so it may just materialize.

The next on the list is the supposed coming of a new 7-inch iPad model. It seems the rumors failed to take into account how Steve Jobs basically lambasted the 7-inchers for being not up to the task. So it’s probably a no go for this one.
