But, then again, screwing people is what Apple is best at doing.

My iPad should have come with a darn Camera. It's quite standard these days for ALL devices. Even the cheapest phone out there has a camera for gods sakes.

But Apple did not screw anyone. Sorry, but you cannot compare a Tablet with a netbook/notebook. 2 totally different types of devices...

Why do people keep trying to compare apples and oranges? Netbooks are NOT tablets. Jeeez...]]>Jun 7th 2010 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/Jun 7th 2010 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/
How are they making people believe? They didn't claim you don't need or shouldn't have a camera. They simply chose not to add one for the launch model. You can choose to not purchase it. If they want to add a camera in the next version, up to them and again up to us if we wish to purchase or not. In a consumer market, there is no reason to trash talk any manufacturer nor their decisions. Simply select what works for you.]]>Jun 7th 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/Jun 7th 2010 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/
now for something completely different

since middle of last year this has been possible, it's been the hardware devs that have been slackers.

Perhaps instead of forcing you to have a whole bunch of stuff you may or may not need.. You can add whatever you need to it. It's called a platform.

The API's for accessories came out with OS3.0. You could have a gigabit Ethernet adaptor, or hdmi, or even wireless USB to a hard drive. got to make it though, or wait till someone does]]>Jun 7th 2010 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/
That is a bit apologetic, no? When nearly every netbook on the market costs half as much and includes a web cam ? If anyone is being screwed I'd say it's developers who have spent a lot of time and money investing in the app store ecosystem only to have their innovation selectively controlled by a company that withholds basic features just so they can be introduced in a future model a year later.

Anyway.,.. As for the ipad, I'll wait till it includes a web cam and the price drops another $100. ]]>Jun 7th 2010 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/Jun 7th 2010 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/Might be coz SJ himself said it was a netbook killer,

When you introduce a product and say it will replace something... you expect it to be able to do everything the replaced product could do and more. The ipad fails and 90% of what a simple netbook can do. Now if that makes sense in your head then more power to you. Oh and its gonna be nice carrying around your portable device with a backpack full of everything else it needs to do shit. Sound investment my friend!]]>Jun 7th 2010 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/Jun 7th 2010 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/
Again, why was this NOT built on the device???]]>Jun 7th 2010 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/
Because a webcam would not be used by all, and if Apple put it on there, what features would they have to sell new iPads next year?

I would rather have the battery life for this years model instead.]]>Jun 7th 2010 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/I agree with BMills, but still. They could have included it if it didnt render the battery too much.
Thou, the damn battery on iPads are amazing. 2 days without a charge, and im using it like crazy.]]>Jun 7th 2010 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/Problem with your theory is -- there is tons of extra space inside of the ipad...inserting a small webcam (lets say 1.5MP) would not have compromised any existing features, including battery life.

But the part about the next model, I completely agree -- they did it on purpose so the next model iPad could have possibly HD video output and a webcam, and more ram.]]>Jun 7th 2010 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/
I'm not trying to be rude but I have never heard anything about a webcam eating battery power. Especially if it's off.

Not necessarily directed at you but, I think a lot of people use battery power as an excuse for a missing feature on the iPad and that really doesn't seem to be the case at all.

I agree with everyone else, it really should have had a webcam. But you're right, Apple wants the next year's model to sell so they will market it with "a revolutionary new technology... the iSeeyourface".]]>Jun 7th 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/
Its not really my excuse, I think it was Apple's.

They chose to use up the space for the battery.

And I also don't think there is a ton of room in there, have you guys seen the tear-down pics?

The battery would have had to be sacrificed in physical size, not in battery life.

I didn't really mean in terms of battery life.]]>Jun 7th 2010 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/Jun 7th 2010 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/Jun 7th 2010 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/

hopefully it will be a small attachment, like the PSP camera -

come to think of it can some hack it to make it work with the ipad????]]>Jun 7th 2010 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/photofast-makes-ipad-work-with-a-microsoft-webcam-cats-and-dogs/
