According to insider sources who have ties with Apple's OEM parts manufacturers, the "iPad 3 enclosure seems to have a more gradual taper to the edges than the iPad 2; as a result of this longer taper, the iPad 3's camera rests on the taper itself." Continue reading for a picture of the new logic board.

The absolute positioning of the camera doesn't seem that far off from the iPad 2, but the lens does appear larger. According to NextMedia, the new iPad 3 camera will see a significant upgrade to 8 megapixels. The current iPad 2 back camera is 1 megapixel in resolution. The site also summarizes many of the other expectations for the iPad 3, such as an improved display, quad-core CPU, and a March 7th announcement date.

If the rumors are correct, Apple's iPad 3 will officially be announced next month. Until then, we can only speculate on just how it might look, and these photos add to the mystery. The case will reportedly house a 2048 x 1536 panel from Sharp. Click here for more pictures. Continue reading for a video.

The images do nothing to confirm rumors of a Retina Display, but the changes to the case depth indicate there is clearly a change coming to the display panel itself.

Powered by the Gallardo's 5.2-liter V-10 with 560 bhp, Lamborghini's all-new SUV "will most likely be based on the next Q7, a 5-door with high ground clearance." Pricing and availability have not yet been announced. Continue reading for one more picture.

Lambo SUV will have a front-engine layout with all-wheel drive. As it's a Lamborghini, expect lots of lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum.

According to sources, the device you see above is a prototype of Apple's next-generation iPod Nano. It features a 1.3-megapixel camera while "retaining its clip-on design." This was made possible thanks to "a metal housing for a camera assembly protruding from the back of the main case and sitting flush with a hole in the device's clip." Continue reading for more pictures.

The design would allow Apple to squeeze a camera into the current diminutive form factor of the iPod nano by moving much of the lens and sensor hardware outside of the main casing but still within the overall device envelope by utilizing a small portion of the gap between the device and the clip.

New pictures of the Lexus LF-LC Concept prototype have surfaced, and they definitely do not disappoint. This vehicle is classified as a 2+2 hybrid coupe with a "multi-layer digital instrument cluster [that] houses an analog-style tachometer as well as transparent OLED displays that show other vital information."

The face of LF-LC incorporates elements of the Lexus spindle grille that also appears on the recently introduced GS. Each L-shaped headlight contains three LED projectors that resemble forward-looking camera lenses. The pointed snout set off by large vertical air scoops that flank the grille, plus the ribbon-like fender surfaces bending and folding aft, are some of the elements of the strong front-end treatment.

According to Toyota, the Lexus LF-LC's "design was 'crafted from a clean sheet of paper,' and it "blends both high technology and organic shapes to connect the driver to the machine." No word yet pricing and availability. Click here for more pictures. In related news, continue reading to see a Lexus LF-A battle a 2012 Nissan GT-R at Nurburgring.

Here's a first look at Google / Samsung's upcoming Nexus Prime, which will be running Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Like rumors suggested, the "hardware buttons are, indeed, no more, and those standard Android navigation buttons are now are part of the screen." Video after the break.

It seems like it was done in a pretty clever way, so it won't look/feel much different from the Android 2.x experience, but it'll give us more screen real estate.
