iPad Camera On the Way?

Well what do we have here, hmm?

According to an article from MacRumors.com, a job posting on Apple's Web site appears to suggest that a camera might be in store for a future version of the iPad. As you may remember, the lack of a camera for video chatting was one of the things that critics bashed Steve Jobs' magical and revolutionary iPad for (cough* sheepishly raises hand* cough*).

Fortunately, Apple seems to be able to take criticism constructively and appears to be already working on an iPad camera. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple was already looking into a camera even before the criticism. In fact, some people are pointing out that the soon-to-be-released iPad apparently has an empty space in its enclosure that would've been a perfect spot for a camera.

Anywho, the "iPad Media" job posting is specifically looking for a software quality engineer with "a strong technical background to test still, video and audio capture and playback frameworks."

Think you're qualified? Then take your qualified derriere over to the Apple corporate job site. Just tell Steve-O that Jason Hidalgo sent you. I'm sure he'll enthusiastically reply, "Who?"
