It’s a Wednesday, so hopefully you’re excited that it’s the middle of the week. Not long left, right? And then it’s another week down, and one more week closer to the release of your favorite tablet device. It seems, as the weeks go by, that this camera rumor just gets stronger and stronger. It doesn’t help that each release of the SDK alludes to more information, and with that information, we’re stunned that Apple pulled the camera from the iPad. Because at this point, it’s more than obvious it was there at this point.

Thanks to the guys over at MacRumors, who are pretty much masters at digging through the iPhone SDK, they’ve rummaged through the PLCameraController.h frameworks and found references to camera flash, zoom, and (shocker) a front-facing camera to boot. As these rumors continue to build, and we see more evidence piling up, we can’t help but remember those pieces from Mission:Repair that showed us a camera could’ve easily fit within the top of the iPad.

So, the million dollar question at this point must be: why? Why did Apple choose to pull the camera, whether front-facing or not, from their tablet? Could it be that the iPhone is soon going to have the same feature, and they didn’t want to have competing products? Or, does AT&T have some kind of lock-down on video calling that no one (except those close to the matter) know about? Hopefully all of this gets cleared up soon, one way or another.

    It's good to see Apple is now getting the importance and the power of social networking platforms �C even though Ping is only about increasing their iTunes revenues. But I still keep my hopes on for Apple to make Ping more usable and maybe, ideally, a service that you can use on your web browser too �C not just limited to iTunes software. converting dvd to mp4 Will my music survive me? When purchasing music, I somehow realized that I do not think it can be forever. Or by then it will be embedded in my brain and die with me. I'm just saying.
