New iPad mentioned in iOS 5.1 firmware?

By George Wong on 11/28/2011, filed in Home > Apple

The iOS 5.1 beta was just released to developers today, and already we’re learning about new iOS devices from it. The folks over at 9to5Mac have reported that iOS 5.1 contains references to a faster Apple TV, and the mention of the iPad 3. Now it’s been discovered that there is a new version of the iPad 2 which points at a Sprint version of the iOS tablet. It’s been rumored about before in the past, so this time around it looks like it might actually happen. With March just a few months away, and the new iPad rumored to be launched on that month we won’t have to wait too long to find out.

How many of you are keen on picking up the iPad 2 if a Sprint version was released, or are you currently satisfied with your WiFi iPad + MiFi connection?

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

It was followed by the iPad 2 in March 2011 and a new iPad (gen 3) in 2012.
