There seems to be much debate over what the small round dot on the top front of these new patent designs represents. Although in my mind it can only be one thing...a FaceTime camera. Just as I predicted for the new iPod Touch to have a camera, I was talking with some ladies in the Apple Store the other day who were looking to buy a new iPad. I told them that they should probably hold off for the next generation, because most likely it would feature a camera. Although using the iPad as a normal camera would be pretty awkward a forward facing camera for FaceTime makes perfect sense.
Earlier in the day the story was all about the 30 pin sync/charge port landscape docking feature, a "mysterious" "USB"/"HDMI" port & a possible "smart bezel" feature that could support Multi-Touch. I & most of the commenters figured the real story was the front facing camera. But stories started by focusing on what they thought was a mini USB or HDMI? I don't think so?? Apple has been moving toward WiFi & Bluetooth syncing & connectivity, why in the ne of Steve Jobs & all that is Jailbreakable would they take a step backwards?? Though it seemed most of the comments shot this idea down quick as lightning also, by pointing out it was probably just the memory card tray for 3G enable iPads. I could see the posibility of a landscape docking port & definitely the FaceTime camera, but HDMI/USB? That's insane! ALTHOUGH...I could see a huge step forward with a USB for syncing OUT, say to an iPod or your iPhone? It could make sense & Apple has been trying to push the
iPad forward in a larger roll as more than just a tablet. Possibly making the iPad a Semi-standalone device? Or maybe that's just wishful thinking as I'd like to ditch my laptop altogether for an iPad. And as for the smart bezel? To me that seems like just to much going on for the clean smooth design of Apples iDevices. But as for now it's all just HOT AIR! We'll have to wait for next year when they unveil the real thing. That is unless some waisted Apple tech slips up again? I'm sure Jobs has anyone with test Devices followed by their security team now.
So, with all the BS flying about today with iPad rumors, impending greenpois0n jailbreak releases & whatnot. What do you think will be featured on the newest iPad? Leave your ideas in the comments section! We'll have a RUMOR WAR!
