The cam speaks more to video functionailty I think... video conferencing.
No one would go on a photowalk with it. It's not designed to get rid of your phone. It is bluetooth and so I wonder how it communicates with your phone. I can imagine some cool apps making them work together. Caller id on the tablet, if you didn't have your phone close. Capturing audio calls on the tablet..

I think it's missing a trick without a camera...but think about these 2 things.

1) If there was a camera you'd want it to be of a quality suitable to look great on the screen, a shitty 3.2MP one wouldn't do it justice and any picture you took you wouldn't want to show on that screen.

2) Imagine taking a picture with that thing! It would be like holding a photoframe out to physically frame what you want to take a picture of, you'd look like a douche!

Well actually I think if it had a camera its intention wouldn't be to take photos of other people but yourself. Laptops have camera and I haven't seen anyone taking pictures of other people with it.

Kmar that would be very cool. As for video conferencing, the HTC Touch HD has a front-facing camera and allows videochat. Of course that's only in countries with actual cellular phone systems, not the shitty stuff that the US has.

Haven't seen a single Apple user do video conferencing, all they did was look at the high gloss screen which served as a mirror

I capture my calls now with google voice just by pressing the number four in the call . Then it's sent to my email as an mp3. It comes in handy if you need to write something down but dont have a pen and paper.

It's the equivalent to shutting your tv off whilst watching yourself masturbate in it's reflection. ll

What I wanna be able to do is use my laptop as a sort of headset for my phone. If I'm sitting in my room I shouldn't have to take off my headphones and put a hot piece of plastic on my ear for an hour. In this day and age I should get a notification on my laptop saying incoming call complete with caller ID and all that, then hit "answer" and talk as if I'm having an audio chat with someone on Skype.

There's an app for OS X that does that, but it didn't play nice with my Blackberry.

A truphone app for the iPad might do that. It's kinda like skype but it works across networks.

I think you have to have an adaptor to connect via USB.

Random guess: it has the same port thingy that iPods have.

There's a lot of potential. I have no doubt the people who built amazing apps on the iPhone will work to make some interesting apps with iPhone/iPad connectivity.

A sample of iPad jokes.

From Twitter (for what it's worth, #iTampon is apparently the number three trending topic on the site.):

tjakabon: "It surfs the web AND stops the bleeding."

Gelatobaby: And you can use the giant QWERTY keyboard to get your period on the #iPad!

CarolBlymire: Is #apple making an iPad for light-flow days? Just wondering...

Trish1981: iPad? Really? All I can say is, I'm sticking with Always, bitches.

tremendousnews: So I can say "That chick is on her iPad" and not be called a pig? Thank you Apple.

melissapierce: iPad has changed "the conversation" from how we use tech in context to how we use tech as Kotex. (who named this thing?)

TwittsMcGee: I haven't heard this many period jokes since I was forced to watch The View last month. #iPad

kathycacace: Okay, just one more. The iPad: protecting your data from embarrassing incidents.

Johnpapa: "64 gig iPad will forever be known as the heavy flow model."

From the comments section of "Period Pieces":

lady_justice: Did the prototype come with a belt?

Lymed: Does the Period Tracker app come free?

fauxfruit: If I order this, will my boyfriend and I have to worry if it comes late?

andBegorrah: If you and your friends all buy one, will they sync up?

boston_nj: Meh. I'll wait until they come out with the iDivaCup

morninggloria: Don't wear white jeans while using an iPad, and especially don't use an iPad in front of your crush. You're a teen magazine embarrassing moment waiting to happen.

ms negative the easy-going unicorn: someone needs to make a 'mysterious blue liquid stain on white' wallpaper for this.

LilSpitfire: Later in the year they will be releasing the companion tablet pen, the Ipon.

Vesuvius At Home (I believe in peace, bitch): But what if the cute boys see me shopping for one? What if my dad has to take me??

NellMood: It's so beautiful when an electronics company finally becomes a woman...

Cinnamoncanuck: @NellMood: Aunt Flo will be so happy! Reply

soykatrina: Eh, I prefer the CVS brand. A few bucks less but does the same thing...

vlvtjones: So will iffy Wifi coverage be called iSpotting?

morninggloria: Can I get a scented iPad for when my data feels not-so-fresh?

Mary McCarthyite: Everyone, just try to Stay(free) calm and Poise(d). It's Always nice to see a new product on the market. I Depend on Apple to come up with great ideas. Maybe we're taking this out of Kotex.

Lymed: Somebody give the iPad a Red Bull, because it ain't no good without wings.

andBegorrah: Are you there, God? It's me, Marketing.

NellMood: iPads are for 8th graders. I'm waiting for the iTampon, because I prefer to do all my interneting from inside my vagina.

BicSharpie: Hopefully it will help people deal with the 24-hour news cycle.

... to do what?

i was speaking to my dad about it, and he said the only use he can see for one is to have one in the reading room, for reading the daily paper/news or such things. otherwise, useless.
