First generation iPad prototype with dual dock connectors cameos in an eBay auction

First generation iPad prototype with dual dock connectors cameos in an eBay auction

There were previous rumors that Apple allegedly toyed with the idea of including a second dock connector designed for landscape orientation to the original iPad. In 2010, Patently Apple reported that a design of the first generation iPad with dual 30-pin dock connectors showed up in China's patent database. But as we all know, the iPad has only one dock connector. According to MacRumors, further evidence is showing up in a new eBay auction for a 16 GB original iPad prototype that has two docks on it.
“Apple prototyped these iPads to have this connector late in the process and at the last minute decided to remove them.
