The hottest technology device of 2010, selling nearly 15 million units since its launching last year. Now will set to launch its new iPad 2 version in the same seasonal schedule as the first iPad on March 2, 2011, contrary to speculation of a delay of the latest version of the popular tablet computer. The first iPad was announced on January 27, 2010 and went on sale first in US stores on April 3, 2010.
The speculation over the timing of the iPad unveiling comes as unverified tabloid reports of the faltering health of its iconic chief executive, Steve Jobs, cloud perceptions of the company's ability to maintain its global technology leadership over the long term.
The Apple’s chief operating officer , Tim Cook is likely to take Job’s place on the stage at the annual shareholders meeting on Wednesday.
More than 50 million tablets are expected to be sold this year, with Apple capturing the bulk of the demand.
According to the note, component makers had to change their production processes after Apple made design changes to the iPad2 before the Lunar New Year at the beginning of February.
Manufacturing sources have previously said the new model would have cameras on the front and back of the device and would be slimmer, lighter and have a better resolution display than the first iPad.
So, just like iPhone which conquers the world of mobile phones, now iPad will again try to steal the fame on mobile computers with its 2nd version.
