iLounge reports that they are hearing rumors about 2 dock connectors. One on the Horizontal bottom and another on the Vertical bottom. This would allow for a more clean look while having the device docked. Of course it wouldn’t be like Apple to have a device that is horizontal at times with a cord dangling on either side.

They have reports that the rear of the device will feature a long stripe down the center which would allow antennas for the various radios to get the best possible reception.

Wi-Fi is almost a 100% certainty at this point. There has been alot of speculation of 3G possibilities. Some say the device will feature an Amazon Kindle style always on connection, and will be paid for by Apple, which in turn will build the cost into the electronic media it will sell on the device. Many people have a negative feeling towards another $60 a month bandwidth bill. With bills for home and cellphones, not too many people would feel the need to buy yet a 3rd data plan. It will be interesting to see how Apple solves that situation.

It will be interesting to see if Apple will allow any type of wireless syncing of music, videos and other content.
