Eldar Murtazin, editor of Russian language mobile-review.com the iPad 2 will have a USB port
Murtazin tweets, Talked with colleague which working with some ODM vendors connected with Apple. He is research guy. According to his sources iPad2 will have usb port.
This corroborates a previous report by the Chinese Economy Daily News which also predicted a USB port for the device.
Horsecrap.
USB standard would req 5v output. Apple would not kill single best feature (battery life) on iPad by letting some idiot charge the battery if his crackberry. This would be an innane feature. He'll we can't even get SD card slot... Much less USB.
Nope. No USB.
My prediction: front facing Camera, retina display, A8 chip.and a redesign on the case. 32 gig min. That's all (note absence of rear cam) take it to the bank...
