What are your predictions for the iPad 2?

If Apple keeps up their annual update pattern they established with the iPhone and iPod Touch, we should be seeing a new version of the iPad out in April or so. What do you think it'll update, what do you wish it'd get, and what would make it worth it to you (assuming you don't buy everything Apple, no matter what)?

I'll start with the fairly obvious: at least a front-facing camera and FaceTime capabilities, and likely a back-facing camera, like the iPhone.

Fanboys in Apple logo T-Shirts lined up outside Apple stores at 6am two days before they go on sale.

Ballmer will declare it a failure a week before it is announced.

It will be on the cover of Wired magazine. And Time.

Gizmodo will devote three entire days of coverage exploring the most intimate details and features speculated to be coming on the new device.

It will be jailbroken the day it is released. By a fanboy in an Apple logo T-Shirt standing outside an Apple store.

I haven't bought into the iPad fascination just yet... Too pricey for my taste, without the hardware to really back it up. However, I'm starting to feel my pocketbook burning a hole as I read up on the newer tablets coming to play.

I'm not sure what exactly it will have, but I'm pretty sure that with the competition getting more fierce from Android offerings like the Motorola Xoom, or the HP/Palm tablet, the iPad2 will have to feature a better dual-core processor, and far heftier video capability since Flash still won't be an option for Apple.

P.S. And I think @wootfast was right - It'll cost quite a few of those pretty pennies...

I think @wootfast and @durkzilla are psychics. My prediction is someone will take it apart and tell the parts are worth %27 of the price.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
