iPad 2 parts allude to white and black colors

Apple's event this Wednesday might bring a new color of iPad model if a part leak reflects its plants. Photos of the digitizer layer for the next iPad have surfaced from Shenzhen that show a version with a white bezel. The 9to5 finding also showed a black version and implied that Apple might have a way to color the back as well.

The same digitizers also reinforced some of what's already known about the hardware features, including the front camera evidenced by the smaller hole and what might be a smaller overall footprint through what appears to be a slightly thinner bezel. Most tips have pointed to a thinner, more iPod touch-like design that would also bring a rear camera, a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and 3G versions for both GSM carriers such as AT&T and CDMA carriers like Verizon.

Pricing isn't expected to change and may be Apple's biggest advantage over devices like the Motorola Xoom, although it's unclear whether capacities will go up. Any confirmation should come during the March 2 presentation and may not have have much of a wait time, as Apple is rumored to be shipping almost immediately after the unveiling.
