Apple iPad 2's Camera Supplier Is...

yawn

oh how much I look forward to seeing all the iDiots holding up a 10' camera....

cover your mouth when you yawn

Cool, maybe iPad1 price will drop by $5... refurb $10.

I wonder when they'll put in two rear-facing cameras so you can do 3D facetime. :-)

10". Although a 10 foot camera would be funnier.

so it might have the same quality camera that my phone has... which is a year old and cost a third the amount.

Does anyone even need reminders of how much Apple raises prices just to have their logo on it anymore?

WOMFG REVOLUTUONARY
BRB STARBUCKS MOCHA LATTE WITH MACBOOK IN HAND

It's sad how that is really going to happen. Popphoto.com had an article about photographers using ipads as studio lighting... How many people are honestly going to spend the money to buy 6-9 ipads just for studio lights? What's the deal with apple? So they have great graphics, they're about as compatible as a moth to a flame. Sheesh.

I am very butthurt about another iPad coming out next year, and the fact that it will have a camera on it. Waaaah.

If the current model had a usb port, one could hook up any camera too it.... just saying.

So this will be Apple's new "revolutionary product". Stick a camera on a device and charge another 10-20% more than the already rediculous price. Hmmm haven't they already done that?

Looks like typical Apple, hold back features from one generation of a device so you can sell more in the next generation. The cameras could have been included in the first generation iPad, as they released the iPhone 4 soon after with dual cameras. The iPhone 4 also has double the RAM of the iPad, which is IMHO another deliberate move to cripple the first gen iPad so the second gen will look all that much better.

Its sad how right you are.

In fact its sad that when the iPad 2 comes out with cameras it will be considered 'revolutionary' even though others have had it for a long time.

Much like the iPod was 'revolutionary' yet there were and still are better MP3 players out that don't lock you into installing bloatware that includes major security holes.

you know ive never really taken sides with the whole anti apple thing but for once I logged into toms uk and actually saw the prices they charge. upon seeing the i pad and looking at the specs, then re checking the price, i became confused as to how this can even make it into peoples hands houses without a huge amount of "trendyness" influencing the decision.

assuming this is how their desktop computers stack up i am suprised on an enthusiast site where so much is about value against power and performance is that the "i machines" dont simply end up being defined purely in terms of the lack of value they provide.

just my 2c or pennies to be more geographically correct.
also my gf was looking for a good value notebook with acceptable flash performance and I was as I say unbiased and was maybe gonna suggest an apple device, then I heard they cant play flash, am I mistaken or is this true?

caps lock; cruise control for cool.

on topic; I don't think any one can say it better.

Wow, finally a somewhat modern camera. My cheapo $140 Sony DSC-W350 will still out do this. Combine that with a $160 16gb Creative XFi2 with a microsd slot for addon storage and built in tv support, etc. I could buy a nice phone or netbook with the remaining $300 and still eat out with the change. Efficiency of cost is the name of the game!

i think it'll only be front facing

"Introducing iPad 2. Now with FaceTime. It has changed the world. Again."

Thanks, Apple. We can always count on you educate the masses.

Its false. Apple products CAN play and use flash. Problem is, on the iOS devices such as iPhones, iPods, iPads....you cannot install flash unless you jailbreak your phone nor does the devices come pre-installed with flash which voids your Apple iOS warranty. On Apple PC's and Laptops, you can install flash without voiding any warranty as the Apple's Mac OSx is not as locked down. But fair warning, Flash for OSx is not optimized and will drain your Laptop battery faster than the Windows Flash version. On OSx Desktop Macs, power is no concern but the poor optimization of flash will kill your flash experience.

Why the poor flash optimization on Apple's OSx? Its because of Apple's CEO Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs case is, Flash has too many bugs and holes, thus barring Flash from Apple products will make owners of Apple products a better experience. So he bans it from all Apple iOS devices and hardly no support on Apple's Laptops and OSX products, Steve Jobs basically will not work with Adobe nor let Adobe near OSx at this point. Steve Jobs' claims about bugs and security holes in flash is true to an extent and he praises HTML5, but is just a smoke screen. As said before, if he was to enable flash on all Apple products:

1) Flash games are free on the internet and will kill Apple's App store as most of the apps and games can be had for free. (This is the biggest reason in my opinion)
2) Apple drivers to run its hardware are not as optimized and written as good as those on Windows - which affects battery and graphics which makes a poor web and multimedia experience. Which in turn will make Steve Jobs actually make worthy drivers for its hardware which Steve Jobs will have to spend more money on.
3) HTML5 - which Steve Jobs is putting all his money on, does the same thing as flash and is still in its infancy. Granted, there have been big developments and gains from HTML5 but it is 5 yrs behind flash.
4) Basically flash on Apple products will show you how sub par and or normal Apple Products are (because that is just the truth). You will not get the 10hour battery that you do with Flash on a Mac Laptop. Apple devices will heat up even more, graphics will will take a hit, etc. Apple is a Marketing Giant with sub par generic internal hardware...except for their aluminum cases and designs.

There are more reasons I can go into about Apple and Adobe Flash but the main point is, Flash is used on 90% of the internet. Steve Jobs decision and ban of Adobe Flash is mind boggling to me.

haha! this is one the comments that really got me.
here, in my country, many people use gadgets as blings.
