Apple’s iPad Thinks It Has a Camera
Posted in: ipad, Media Players, tablets, Today's Chili
Apple’s new tablet doesn’t include a camera, but the screenshot above reveals a “Take Photo” button in the iPad’s Contacts app.
Is it a hint that Apple is planning to release a camera-equipped iPad later? Or just a messy accidental result of sharing code between the iPhone Contacts app and the iPad’s? As much as we believe the former will happen eventually, the latter is more likely to be the case.
We can’t draw any conclusions from that since there are too many theories, but the screenshot is interesting nonetheless. The latest iPod Touch doesn’t include a camera, and Steve Jobs said that was because the gadget’s focus is gaming. However, iFixit’s teardown of the new iPod Touch found a small compartment that would be perfect for a camera. A rumor report also suggested the iPod Touch was supposed to have a camera but left it out due to technical problems.
Kudos to CrunchGear for spotting this.
