Aloha All,
When do you think the next generation iPad will have a camera built in? Do you think next April or summer? Any rumors??? I'm waiting for the next generation but I really want one bad!!!
Mahalo~:apple:

IF the next Touch comes with a camera, it will be the 4th gen. Do the math. Buy the iPad now and enjoy it. Worry about a camera in 4 years.
 
For those who want a forward facing camera on the iPad -- please explain how you would position the device so that it captures your face *and* type on the screen during a video chat?

Cameras work on laptops because the screen is at an angle to the keyboard. Again, if we see a front facing camera on the iPad it will either be in a swivel or an external accessory--and there will never be a back facing camera. The iPad is too big to take snapshots and people already have cameras on their phones. It's just not practical.

Bold 1- Huh? You type out what you're saying to the person? You don't make sense.

Bold 2- Most iPad stands are angled to a position where the viewing angle is good, I'll guess you also position your laptop lid to the best viewing angle? No?

He doesn't want one now, he said that already. If he wants to 'worry' about a camera now, I'm sure he has that right. You sound quite bossy/patronising in your reply.
 
I wouldnt buy an ipad if it had a camera, I have an iPhone to do that. Plus it would be awkward to take pictures. I dont want an ipad with a camera, (maybe front facing would be better but still wouldnt use it) or any other new hardware. i think the ipad is perfectly fine the way it is. just keep updating the software, ram, processor, battery etc :)
