I've been hoping for a retina screen on the iPad since the iPhone 4 was released. I've convinced my dad and my uncle to wait for v2 before buying an iPad.

I wouldn't count on a USB port being added. I'd bet a second dock connector would be added to the side before a USB port.

Yeah, USB would sure be nice though.

Perhaps it should read "Four Features the iPhone4 Already Has and A USB Port (When Hades Ices Up)"?

Am I the only person on the planet that really doesn't care about a camera being included in the iPad?? USB is fine, but obviously not really a deal breaker IMO.

The 3way gyroscope and improved display are the only things that impress me from that article.

While I don't think apple will use a USB port on the iPad 2, here is why I think it could also be a valid rumor. 4.2.1 made a significant leap when it comes to midi devices and audio. Image being able to use USB devices and using the awesome applications companies have developed for creating music. I think this is where Apple would like to go and I feel we will see a GarageBand application when Steve steps on stage to debut the iPad 2.

ezcompane, I know lots of people who held out on buying the iPad for the very reason that it didn't have a camera. Plenty of folks are looking to the iPad as a notebook replacement and so need a camera before they can do that. I'm betting the second generation iPad is going to sell in droves due to it having a camera.

In addition to Kash's comment, a camera on the iPad will really let them push Facetime more, too.

A USB3 port on it would be great to incorporate my music gear setup.
