5-in-1 Dongle for iPad

It is funny how people would complain about the iPad’s singular port, forcing users to buy accessories to make it adaptable to other devices like digital cameras, keyboards, and HDTVs. Yet they end up buying the dongles anyway.

The problem, however, is that these dongles can be quite limiting as they could only plug in just one type of device.
One solution is this 5-in-1 Connection Kit featured on USB Fever. This adapter allows you to connect your iPad to a TV for video playback, SD and microSD cards for data transfer, computer for data sync, USB port for charging, keyboard for data input, and DC for photo and video input.
The dongle works for both the iPad and iPad 2, but on a limited number of firmware. Users are also advised not to plug multiple attachments at the same time.
Oh, and did we mention it costs US$44.99? But people will buy it anyway.

According to this, The future version of iPhone & iPad will have a A4 chip with a dual-core graphics processing unit that will enable users to view extremely High Definition(even beyond that) content on their devices.
Most probably they will use a SGX543 GPU built by Imagination Technologies. But it is still a rumor and nothing is confirm yet. Another news from Mashable is that-

iPad 2 will have a much higher resolution screen than its predecessor.

The SGX543 graphics chip will be used along with dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU and it will make iPad a very powerful strong gadget device that will be able to do many other tasks than its predecessor along with playing extremely super quality HD video.

The main and unique feature of SGX543 is that if you will run the device at 200 MHz then it will deliver 35 million polygons per second and filtrate of 1 billion pixels per second.

Another good thing about SGX543 is that it supports Apple-Backed OpenCL specifications so it means it is compatible with Apple devices and it will offer a good performance to the device.
Appleinsider has posted a long story representing the complete picture and all the features in the much more details.
Some broad points are – This graphic chip will not only enhance games but also video processing that includes dynamic encoding decoding process. And this will allow Apple to easily upgrade to HDMI port.
