As the Apple iPad orders are in full swing, awaiting it's 3rd April launch, we present to you what we'd like to see in the next instalment of the iPad.

Read below for iPad 2.0: What's next for the Apple iPad?

Smart bezels

Apple filed a patent to extend the touch panel beyond the screen, allowing you to control iTunes without losing fullscreen cover art for video.

Dual connectors

Why not be able to dock it sideways for watching videos? It'd also be more useful for typing for most people. Flies in the face of Apple's aesthetic, though.

3D screen

Apple has patented a 3D interface but it seems overly complex for the iPad. Given zero Blu-ray support we can't see Apple going for 3D video either...

Flash support

Most online video uses Flash, so alot of content isn't available on the Flash-free iPad. Apple seems to have it in for the manufacturer Adobe.

Multi-tasking

Everyone wants to surf the web and exchange instant messages while listening to Spotify. Apple has to listen to public opinion on this one, doesn't it?

Camera

With augmented reality set for lift-off and IM video chat becoming ever more popular, a mobile device without a camera now feels like a car without wheels.
