While many shoppers are busy with their holiday shopping, trying to find the best deals, many prospective iPad buyers have decided to hold off on their first generation tablet on the heels of more reports indicating that the second generation iPad will reach consumers in Spring 2011 with a slate of impressive new features. Earlier today, DigiTimes (citing a report from the Chinese-language Economy Daily News) revealed that sources have “leaked” five new features of the ‘iPad 2,’ check them out below:

• 3-axis gyroscope (for gaming enhancements)
• Better Mobility
• New Display Technology (probably Retina Display)
• USB
• Video Phone

One of the most anticipated features that would be very exciting for many would be the addition of a front-facing camera for the iPad 2, bringing the full FaceTime experience to tablet users. Such a move would be “expected to benefit Apple iPad’s webcam suppliers,” DigiTimes reports. Additionally, the “better mobility” is probably referring to a sleeker, more slender model, likely thinner glass, as the report notes. This development would be aided with the implementation of Apple’s “Retina Display” technology, which would give the iPad viewing experience the same high praised visual factor of the iPhone 4.

As expected though, none of the predicted new features of the second generation iPad are new. Until now we haven’t heard from any credible sources and the attributes that media outlets predicted are now actually on board with the idea for the next tablet. For some, particularly those who already own an iPad, are hoping for “more” as it will likely take a substantial slate of new features to convine relatively new iPad owners to drop somewhere between $500 and $1000 again for the second generation iPad within the next few months.
