iPad 2 Ad shot, same structure as iPad 1st gen, coming by Jan?

It seems that alongside CES 2011, Apple is gearing up for its own dhamaka in Jan. While the Verizon iPhone chatter is louder than ever before, it seems that Apple has already shot an Ad for the iPad 2nd generation in NYC late last month. It is believed that photographer David Sims was hired for the shoot and ofcourse the entire crew is bound to be under a NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) but thats not all in the name of secrecy. It seems that the shoot featured an iPad 1st Gen and the 2nd Gen flavors would be added during post production.

This makes one thing clear, the size and structure of the new iPad would be the same as the current one. And that shouldn’t be much of a surprise given Steve Jobs views on a 7″ tablet. We have heard rumors before that the new iPad would have a Retina display and camera(s). FaceTime has to come in for sure we feel and it would be interesting to see how the market shapes up in 2011. There would certainly be some power packed tablets in 2011 would the iPad 2 hold the lead for Apple? How about the Honeycomb – Androids and webOS?
