With Spring 2011 getting closer and closer, and with all the rumors surrounding the second-generation iPad, it is almost as if the device already exists!

This week at CES, aside from iPad 2 cases being found, an actual physical machined aluminum mock-up of the expected iPad 2 was also found! The mock-up is used for case makers to show off their device cases, but this mock-up revealed some more information.

The iPad 2 mock-up at CES was essentially a physical accumulation of all of the recent rumors. In other words, the placeholder confirms a thinner and tapered design with dual cameras that has been recently rumored. For reference, the design is very similar to the fourth-generation iPod touch.

I really hope the next iPad looks something, if not exactly, like this! I’m excited! Check it out:
