March 2nd reveal for iPad 2

One online news source has claimed that Apple will reveal its iPad 2 in just one week’s time.

All Things Digital says it has confirmation from "multiple sources" that the US tech form is preparing a March 2nd gathering in San Francisco.

There’s even talk that Steve Jobs himself will be at hand, despite currently being on a leave of absence due to health issues.

As for the device itself, it’s all a guessing game for now but the safe bets point to integrated front and rear cameras and some sort of improved display, though many reckon Apple has abandoned plans to incorporate an iPhone 4 style retina display into the machine.

There’s also been plenty of talk about the possible ditching of the front facing ‘Home’ button, with Apple said to be keen on ditching all physical controls for its future iOS product ranges.
