Like most successful gadgets, the release of a 2nd generation iPad is a matter of when, not if. But we can still play guessing games as to what features will be added to the next version of the tablet. A video obtained by Japanese Mac site Macotakara shows what seems to be a case for the 2nd gen iPad. There are a couple of holes at the bottom of the case that are clearly reserved for hardware features not present in the current iPad:

Here’s the video:

I’m sure you noticed the camera pinhole as well, but I think a camera is pretty much guaranteed for the 2nd gen iPad. I’m not sure but it also seems like the current iPad is slightly larger or more rounded than the 2nd gen iPad, since the former doesn’t quite fit in the case. If (and this is still a big if) the case is indeed for the next iPad, what do you think are those bottom holes for? Speakers? SD card slots? USB ports? An HDMI port perhaps?
