iPad 2 now in production, says Wall Street Journal

The countdown to the iPad 2 launch is entering the final stages according to business bible the Wall Street Journal, which is claiming the device has now gone into full production.

The WSJ reports that "people familiar with the matter" say the manufacturing process is underway and that the new device will be thinner and lighter than the first generation iPad.

The source also revealed that the iPad 2 features, as expected, a FaceTime camera and a faster graphics processor and more memory on board.

If the reports are to be believed, rumours of the iPhone 4's Retina Screen making the step up to the tablet arena would be unfounded. The WSJ story claims that the screen resolution is 'similar' to the first iPad.

No 4G

The story also suggests that there'll be no 4G mobile broadband support for the iPad 2, which is expected to become available in the next couple of months, most likely in April.

Dell today announced its own answer to the iPad with the 10-inch Dell Business Tablet, while HP is widely expected to reveal the webOS-running 'PalmPad' tomorrow at a launch event in San Francisco.
