Of course, you can't see the magic. If you could, then it wouldn't be magic. You just have to believe that the magic is there along with Steve Jobs' blood, sweat and unicorn tears.

That doesn't destroy the iPad.

Given access to the mainboard i could likely have just about every chip identified and know what it does within half an hour. unless its some obscure custom apple chip.

Hardware wise its really not much different than any other recent cell phone released, just a bigger screen, battery and different OS/Software]]>May 1st 2010 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/http://j.mp/ipad-lines-2010]]>May 1st 2010 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/May 1st 2010 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/It's not just you.]]>May 1st 2010 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/

Along with the source link Engadget also seems to be missing understanding of the word "magical." It doesn't necessarily imply the use of magic.

They chose not to use it and put the ambient light sensor there instead (something easily moved should they ever decide that a camera is a good idea.

At the angle I've seen people using tablets, a front-facing camera would have a grossly distorted picture. It's a little easier to do on a cell phone, because it's held closer, and the angle between the camera and the center of the screen is small.

On a bigger screen with a top-mounted camera, you get a more extreme angle (face distortion) and a lack of eye contact--neither of which makes for Star Trek-style video conferencing.]]>May 1st 2010 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/
One feature the Notion Ink Adam has that seems rather nice is a rotating camera. It would be nice if the iPad had that option, but I don't think Apple would do something with movable parts like that.

I wonder how easy implementing a front-facing camera on an iPad would be in order to work in both horizontal and vertical mode and getting a correct capture angle. Everyone is saying, "Let's just throw a camera on the iPad", but Apple really has to take the time to get it working working and still be simple to use.]]>May 1st 2010 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/are you honestly trying to defend apple's exclusion of a front with the argument that man cannot bend his arms slightly to get a better shot?!?]]>May 1st 2010 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/

Of course you can bend your hands slightly, but the thing is 700gr and keeping it at the needed angle can become tiresome - just try to shoot LiveView with a DSLR for an extended period.]]>May 1st 2010 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/I don't see it as a decision that NEEDS to be defended. Front-facing cameras on any handheld device bigger than a cell phone are nothing but a gimmick (personally, I think they're a gimmick on cell phones, too, given the state of cellular videoconferencing, but there's room for disagreement there). Computers can sit on a fixed surface and be close to perpendicular, and the added distance compensates for the camera height. A cell phone is held close, with its camera physically close to the screen center, solving both problems. Something in between is held at a distance too far to compensate for angle and camera height, and too close to obviate the problem.

It's an ergonomics and a physics problem that hasn't been solved, and the solution is not really terribly important--you really want to carry a tablet around for videoconferencing?

Bending your arms slightly places the screen at an oblique angle instead. It's not a solution. The solution is to hold the tablet out directly in front of you, more or less perpendicular to the line of sight and the ground (and who's going to do that?) And the eye contact problem remains even then.]]>May 2nd 2010 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/ifixit-gets-ipad-3g-on-day-one-immediately-destroys-it/
