Oh hay! While digging around within the recently-released iOS 4.3 Beta 2 , MacRumors found three app icons that seem to make sure the presence of (at the very least) a forward-facing camera on Apple’s next iPad: FaceTime, Camera, and PhotoBooth.
None of the icons appear inside the current build of iOS 4.2, suggesting that Apple is getting their software ready for a camera-equipped tablet within the near future. That is not all that surprising at this point! The addition of a camera-or, quite possibly, both front and back cameras-was always one of the crucial likely updates for the second generation iPad. Recent reports have suggested it’ll actually have a thinner, lighter design, an SD card slot, and a snappier processor.
The new camera-related apps all look like pretty self-explanatory. Camera, like the iPhone app, will probably just take photos and video; FaceTime will allow users to speak head to head with friends and family on iPhones and Macs; and PhotoBooth, like the preferred Mac app, will let everyone see how funny they give the impression of being when their head’s the dimensions of a watermelon. Finally, a pragmatic application for this tablet computing machine! [ MacRumors via DesignTaxi ]
