You Are Reading To Much Into His Speech...The only New iPad will be the possible small one. As far as the present iPad you will not see a new updated one till next year. One thing apple is sure to form is that everything is updated and replaced every 1 year.
I watched the keynote address by Mr Jobs last evening from Apple's site. I've never seen him so unprepared although I admit that there was a lot of material to deal with in this presentation. He was fumbling everywhere misnaming the devices, reverting to notes totally botching the demonstration on the Nano...and I pass... What I'm getting to is that he's said things about devices that he meant for others. When he talked about HDR Photo he may have said iPad at one point but the screen next to him showed only an iPhone and a Touch.
I agree that it wasn't a very good presentation but at 15mins 15seconds to 35seconds he is listing 4.2 for iPad with HDR said at 15mins 29secs I agree it is unlikely there will be a camera for this iPad, but a smaller one maybe apart from a front facing one for face time I see little point for a camera Simon
I can promise you guys that a camera WILL adorn the next generation of the 9.7 inch iPad. As a matter of fact....it is already in the case design...the camera is just not there. http://www.appleinsider.com/article...how_slot_for_forward_facing_video_camera.html I have actually SEEN this as well. All we have to do is wait patiently.....and like Marie said in one of her posts....I am ALSO not a patient person. LOL!!!
Like I said before, I think he meant the ability to display HDR photos will be given to the iPad, not a new iPad with a camera at this time.
Yeah there might be a 7 in comming out I didn't believe the nano until I saw it so it possible a re release of a 7 in could happen. I guess we will have to wait and see. This ipad is pretty big when I think about it... I could def use a smaller version!
If i remember correctly... Before the 2nd generation of iPod touch came out there were so many rumors about camera being there with the proof fro case design and etc., but iPod touch with camera didn't release until this year. Whether it is apple product or not, ill not believe until i see it.
