    New ipad with mystery hole next to camera

    I have seen a prototype smart phone with a small projector, giving the ability to show a picture or video on a blank wall in a darkened room, it was about the size of a 19" tv screen. Could this be the reason for the extra hole?

    I might have suggested a microphone but I don't see anything like it on my New iPad. Have you seen it on other people's iPads?

    There's been speculation on some blogs that it's for NFC.

    NFC doesn't use a hole. It uses a loop antennae and a simple induction current for activation.

    Rumor: NFC chip spotted in photos of purported next-gen iPhone front assembly

    Link to one of many stories on tech blogs. I don't pretend to know; I figure these tech folks have a better idea, and they seem to have possible evidence.
