iPad to Offer Camera Support…Maybe



One of the biggest surprises about the iPad launch is that it didn’t seem like there was any kind of support for a camera attachment.  This is especially odd these days when everything from a cell phone to a key chain comes sporting at least a two meg digital camera attachment.  So why not this one?

But here’s the interesting part–apparently, everyone might have spoke too soon, because the iPad Simulator, included as part of the iPhone’s SDK 3.2, as discovered by the crew out at Crunchgear, revealed this:

Tucked away within the iPad’s contacts application is an “Add Photo” button, purposed with.. well, adding photos. Everyone likes having photos assigned to their contacts, and there’s more than enough space on this thing to sync photos of all your friends – so nothing too strange there. What is odd, however, is the prompt that pops up: do you want to “Choose Existing Photo”, or do you want to “Take Photo”?

Add photo?  Choose existing photo?  Take photo?  Sure sounds like options that are appropriate for a camera to me!  But does a simulator in a completely different item suggest future options for another?  Only time will tell, but this sure looks like a possibility to me!
