Speculation surrounding the mystery port on early iPad 2 case designs has been circulating the blogosphere since the first cases based on leaked iPad 2 design schematics started appearing on the net. One interesting theory from the team at Macrumors is that the port could in fact be for the forthcoming Light Peak high-speed connectivity technology, co-developed by Intel and Apple. Macrumors bases its hunch on the buzz surrounding the launch of Light Peak on upcoming Apple Macs, which are expected to make an appearance as soon as this week. Further, Light Peak prototypes have been using a hybrid USB 3.0 connector that could appear similar to a standard USB port. The speculation is plausible for several reasons. When Intel first demonstrated Light Peak in September 2009, before the iPad was launched, it specifically cited faster syncing with iPods as a candidate for fast data syncs. When the iPad first launched, some users complained about relatively slow syncing of content, although syncing has improved with each new iteration of iTunes and iPad firmware.
