So um, remember how it was possibly thought that the upcoming iPad 2 might possibly use an AMOLED display? According to Digitimes, not so much. Apple has ordered the back light units for the next edition of the magical device, and they will reportedly be used in conjunction with LCD displays built by LG and Chimei Innolux.
What all does that mean exactly? By Apple ordering backlights, it means that the iPad 2 appears that it won't be sporting an AMOLED display, since AMOLED's don't use backlights.
Now that we can reportedly cross AMOLED displays off of our list for the iPad 2, what other features for the iPad 2 would you like to see readers? Retina Display? FaceTime? Cameras? Feel free to put your wish list below!

I am definitely looking foreward to hopefully getting a Retina Display on that massive screen. So beautiful.

What will come is retina, gyro, lighter and more durable casing and as allways - better performance and extended battery life.
What i hope for is apple to open up, using more api for hardware buttons and the ability for programs to interact with each other in a much better way than now. I dont think it will happend now - but i really do hope ;)

Morphable case to fit in your shirt pocket when not in use, variable-diameter force field, to deflect undesirables, front-facing death ray, and 1000-hour battery.

I would like to see a liquid metal / carbon fibre type back with a single front facing camera, a retna display, stronger glass, more ram, better processor and more SSD space. I don't see apple adding mini USB or a second dock connector or back-facing camera. Hopefully it would be lighter too. I don't want or expect anything too unexpected but who knows? It's apple.
