White iPad 2's 3G Plastic Back Panel: Black or White?

Hey all,

I know this may just be speculative, but does anyone know what color the plastic '3G' panel on the back of the white iPad is? In the Verizon promotional shot it looks like it's still black, but the 'mockup' (legitimacy unlikey, so I don't know why I even mention it) that surfaced prior to the introduction event was white. Any idea?

Late 2008 Unibody MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.6), iPhone 4 - 3G iPad

The back shot on the website shows it is black.

Thanks.

Check this out:

Those pictures look pretty much the same as the ones announced. It's got a white 3G plastic panel 🙂

Looking at the video on apple.com introducing the ipad 2 it states that the case is made of
aluminum. Take a look at the video.
