Five Things To Look Forward With The Apple iPad 2

We will possibly get shot down for even wondering how the Apple iPad v2 will look like while the iPad v1 is not even out but we can't help but wonder what Apple will present to us by January next year.

As expected, Apple will definitely come up with a brand new model in 2011 and one can bet that Apple will solve some of the issues here.

(a) Multi-Tasking + Flash

Apple will hopefully introduce multi-tasking in a forthcoming version of the iPhone OS together with support for Adobe Flash. These are certainly the two most requested improvements for the iPod and iPhone families and shall be extended to the iPad family.

Without them, the iPad will struggle against the torrent of ebook readers cum tablets that will flood the market between now and the end of the year.

(b) OLED screen

We would like to have a version of the iPad with an OLED screen. The price of OLED panels are expensive currently fetching around $500 for a 10-inch model and we can only hope that Apple gets manufacturers to drop the price of OLED technology to around $200 by next year for their 10-inch panel.

Organic LED have a faster response time than standard LCD and produces more natural colours. However OLED might not be ideal to display white backgrounds as it is the case for most books as it will consume significantly more power.
