New Ipad to be Released by Christmas: Rumor

Don’t start standing in line just yet, but Apple may be releasing an updated version of the iPad just in time for the holiday season, according to Apple Insider. The updated tablet device is rumored to include a built-in video camera and support for FaceTime. The upgrade was expected to come in the first quarter of 2011, but a “person with proven knowledge of Apple's future product plans” told the website that the new device is already in the advanced stages of testing and Apple may try to launch the device before the holidays. The holiday launch seems a little rushed, since Apple usually takes about a year for a major product upgrade, and the people at research firm iSuppli have predicted the upgrade to take place in April 2011, one year after the initial iPad launch.
