February 24th, 2010 No comments

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 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…
