Due to impending examinations and lack of revision, today’s post is brought to you directly from Macrumors.com.
Unfortunately, we already know how this story ends. Apple introduced the iPad in late January and made no mention of a camera – either on the front or back of the device. So that means no video conferencing or even photos are possible on the first generation device…. and yet, it seems like they had everything in place for it already. For example, the enclosure has an empty space for the camera and the SDK has accept/decline video chat references. Read more…
The guys over at Mission:Repair received their first shipment of replacement Apple iPad parts today and noticed something rather strange about the metal internal frame. It has a camera slot which, from their testing allows the perfect housing of the camera module from one of the new MacBook Pros. The camera slips into the frame, the lens fits the hole, the LED that indicates that the camera is on fits and the ambient light sensor hole is also correct. Conclusion, an iPad with a camera isn’t too far away. Check out the images for yourself. Read more…
For those of you who have been hiding under a rock for the past six months or for those point-blank refusing to read anything to do with Apple’s tablet for fear of reading only accentuated fan-boy commentary or demeaning Cupertino-hating slander, Apple released their latest product, the iPad yesterday.

I can find very few words to express just how excited I am about owning this product. It does everything I wanted it to with very few omissions. Nobody expected it to be $499 and at that price, this device is going to skyrocket Apple further into the household domain. Read on for specs. Read more…
Apple’s dirty little secret is to be revealed in a little under nine hours but this morning, engadget had the scoop of these pictures which would appear to show either a prototype of the Apple Tablet or one bolted to a table.

Ok, so most of the information that has come out so far has been nothing more than rumour and speculation, some reliable and likely, some not. Its often easy enough to sift through the credibility of various sources and conjure a specification sheet for a device as highly anticipated as this, but never, and I mean never, has a credible source been confident enough as to confirm an Apple device before the words have been uttered by stage Steve himself. The Wall Street Journal announced today that Apple is releasing a tablet computer. Read more…
