The WSJ is reporting that Apple has started manufacturing the iPad 2 with a built-in camera and faster processor.

The new iPad will be thinner and lighter than the first model, these people said. It will have at least one camera on the front of the device for features like video-conferencing, but the resolution of the display will be similar to the first iPad, these people said. It will also have more memory and a more powerful graphics processor, they said.

The report notes that the iPad will initially be available through Verizon and AT&T but not Sprint or T-Mobile.
