iPAD FRONT AND BACK CAMERA COMING NEXT APRIL 2011

iPad rumours of the next iPad have already begun emerging, and this ain’t ordinary rumour. Reuters has cited from no less than four sources from within Apple’s component suppliers, and all have expressed their belief that the fruity tablet will get a refresh sometime in 2011, probably in the early quarters.

These sources stated that the new iPad will have both a back-mounted and a front-facing module, with Largan and Genius identified as having received new orders from Cupertino for churning out imagers. They also mentioned that production at places like Wintek and Simplo is expected to ramp up in the first quarter, and that parts are targeted for a February shipment in preparation for an April iPad refresh. Well, these are still rumours so we should just enjoy the bad weather first before wondering about the next iPad.

GOOGLE NEXUS S

Here's Google’s Nexus S smartphone is finally getting official, with an official page as well, and it isn’t like what the previous rumours are saying. There’s no dual-core Orion processor, but the phone does have a dedicated GPU.

The Nexus S page is now live, and from there we know that this new baby of Google has a Super-AMOLED 4-inch WVGA display with 480 x 800 resolutions. Interesting Google listed “anti-fingerprint display coating” for that touch capacitive screen. The phone runs on triband HSPA with AWS support, but there’s no HSPA+ support. Spec wise, the heart is a 1GHz Cortex A8-based Hummingbird processor, which amusingly is quite the twin with the iPhone 4’s processor.

There’s 16GB of onboard storage, with 512MB of RAM, and also three-axis gyroscope. Connection wise there’s Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, besides WiFi 802.11b/g/n. There’s also the NFC chip that we mentioned earlier. The phone’s developed by Samsung. Comparison wise, the phone does have slightly more feature than the Nexus One, but doesn’t really outshine the Galaxy S, besides having embedded NFC and a contour screen.

According to the Official Google Blog, the Nexus S will be available for purchase after December 16th “online and in-store from all Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores,” either unlocked or with a T-Mobile plan. Best Buy US has listed the phone for USD$199 with a two-year T-Mobile contract or $529 unlocked. For those in UK, look for the Nexus S to hit December 20th at Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy UK.
