Early cases for the iPad 2 have shown a space for a new port that could possibly be a Light Peak connector, according to MacRumors.
Previous reports suggested that the port could be for a Mini DisplayPort, or Mini USB.
MacRumors suggests the port could actually be for Light Peak.
Light Peak prototypes have been using hybrid USB 3 connector connectors that might easily be confused for USB. The exact connector for Light Peak hasn't been described, but it may be close enough to USB to be a case of mistaken identity in the early iPad 2 rumors. The opening for the port may be a bit small for a full-sized USB connector, though it seems feasible that the Light Peak could also adopt a mini USB style form factor as well.
Interestingly, CNET reports that Apple is expected to make an announcement about a new high speed connection technology

*thanks iclarified*
This seems unlikely, who would this benefit? There are no Light Peak compatible computers and there won't be enough for this to make any sense for at least another year or two...
