The Mini iPad or next-gen iPad or the iPad 2 have been talked about a lot over the past months, but nothing’s certain at this point, due to Apple’s secrecy. The Cupertino giant could be working on a smaller iPad (7 inch screen), or they could be simply upgrading the screen of the current tablet and adding it a camera or two. However, the following live pictures makes us think of the Mini iPad again….
This leaked shot shows a race car driver from Taiwan, Jimmy Lin holding the tablet, so it could be a knock-off of the slate made locally. Lin seems confident that the gadget in his hand is the next iPad, although this is kind of impossible at this point. I guess we’ll get confirmation at CES 2011, in case Apple decides to show its goodies (iPad 2, iPhone 5) in Vegas.
The device in the image sure looks genuine, but we’ve seem so many clones and copies that we don’t know what to believe any more…
