"The camera slips in the frame, the lens fits in the hole, the LED (light) that indicates that the camera is on, fits, and the ambient light sensor hole is also correct," the company said Monday. "It appears that the plans to have camera in the iPad is a reality."

Rumor.

cheers ...

rumors circulated for a long time that Apple might be working on two different sizes for the screen of the device. Some had the device as small as 7″, others were saying it would go up to 10.6″. (The actual size of the iPad is 9.7″.) But the information we’re hearing is that Apple is thinking much larger for another version of the product, maybe all the way up to the 15.4″ size that it currently uses for one version of the MacBook Pro. If you think that would be way too big for an iPad, we’re also hearing that this other tablet would be quite a bit different from the one revealed last week. Namely, it could run a version of OS X much closer to the traditional version that runs on Macs.

If there is any truth to that, we could learn something as soon as Apple’s WWDC event this year, which will likely take place in June (just as it does every year). Apple typically uses the event to show off its new iPhone hardware, but it is first and foremost an event for Mac platform developers, and the past two years have seen OS X as a major component. This included two years ago when Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) made a surprise appearance and developers got a very early peek. There is already talk that WWDC 2010 could bring a similar peek at OS X 10.7. If there are some significant multi-touch components to OS X 10.7, you can expect the rumors to start flying about this new device that I’m talking about (or possibly touchscreen iMacs).

Rumor2

More relevant details are coming out ...

. no-contract 3G
The iPad 3G will be offered with AT & T subscription without obligation. One can subscribe or unsubscribe on the flight. One option in preferences will indicate the current status of data volume used. In the example of a subscription package 250MB charged $ 15 per month in the United States, the user will receive an alert message at 20% , 10% remaining from the subscription. One can choose to subscribe additional 250 MB for $15 or for the flat rate $30 or do nothing. An improvement in consumers service.

. Rotation blocking:

The button that disables vibration in iPhone is also present on the iPad. Since iPad does not have phone feature, this switch will be used to lock the screen rotation. If one notices when the iPhone is being laid flat on a table, it tends to go back and forth between the two modes unexpectedly, this little flaw will be corrected on the iPad.

. "mono" listening mode:

For people with hearing problems on one ear, it will be possible to channel both left and right channels into one in order to enjoy all the sounds in one ear.

. AVI support:

With the arrival of an attachment to download photos and video cameras, Apple had to provide some compatibility with the formats of video cameras. The iPad supports AVI files using MotionJPEG codec with a maximum throughput of 35 Mbps, a resolution of 1 280 x 720 pixels and a PCM stereo. Since iTunes has never supported AVI format or the Apple TV, this could change with the release of the iPad.
