iPad 2 To Have Front & Rear Cameras
AppleInsider reports today that the next generation iPad 2 will sport front and rear cameras when it becomes available in early 2011.
This all ties in quite nicely with the latest reports on the iPad 2 ‘leaked’ cases. The ‘Crystal Case for iPad 2nd Generation’ has appeared from Chinese accessories manufacturer Shenzhen MacTop Electronics featuring an aperture ready for a rear-facing camera similarly positioned and sized to that found on the iPhone.
These ‘rumors’ are going to continue for a while yet as the excitment grows. I for one cannot wait to see the new iPad 2.
