iPad 2 May Get Lightweight Carbon Fiber Body
John Gruber of Daring Fireball has indicated that there is a possibility that the next generation iPad, which is expected to be unveiled at a special event next week could get a lightweight high-strength carbon fiber body instead of aluminum.
However, Gruber who has a very good track record will Apple related news points out that he is only half sure about it as he has heard about it from a second-hand sources.

Aluminum with scratch protection would be great
-
undetectable by radar.
-
Can't put all the weights in pounds? Getting lazy there?
-
Titanium with a black Crome coating with changeable lighted apple logo
-
best would be reducing weight with helium-filled tanks. that's what we are used to by apple engineering right? :)
-
It MAY get dual cameras for 3D pics, it MAY get voice recognition, it MAY wipe my ass for me, it MAY cause the world to end in 2012 and be the start of SKYNET. Until the actual specs come out, all these "mays" are just smoke and mirrors.

B4 you post comments like that, make sure you know what your taking about, titanium blocks rf signals, carbon fiber doesnt.
-
carbon fiber is pyrolized acrylic and then it is chopped into strand and is dispersed into a secret solution and and be made into paper at desired thickness and epoxied into desired product.
-
stealth bomber. it is a very tough material.
-
Another rumour, this will push the price two folds.
-
this is why the "end of days" is coming... everyone is so caught up on technology and advancement, they think its insane to consider... what if the end is near? what if the earth gets its population reduced to 500,000,000? how can we effectively continue and what will dictate the value of the new dollar after the fact? instead of budgeting for the gas prices next month and what you will need, consider looking into seeds... that is what will be of most value if the end of days come!!!

CF *does* attenuate RF - It's electrically conductive (from one who has seen a sh*t lot of power go through a carbon electric car body)Should be less than metal, though.
-
It's WAY TOO HEAVY. After 3 or 4 yours of reading it with one hand, your rest starts to ache. CF is the way to go and whatever else you can do to make it as light as possible for us massive readers.:)

THANK YOU SO MUCH IPHONEHACKS!...for the metric SI units of the civilised world! Phew! What a relief! :)
