Spotted: iPad 2 screenshot with FaceTime, PhotoBooth, Camera apps

Summary: MacRumors has nabbed a screenshot of Apple’s developer release of iOS 4.3 Beta 2 revealing FaceTime, PhotoBooth and Camera apps on the desktop of the iPad 2.

MacRumors has nabbed a screenshot of Apple’s developer release of iOS 4.3 Beta 2 revealing FaceTime, PhotoBooth and Camera apps on the desktop of the iPad 2.

OK, so this isn’t really all that surprising, but it just helps confirm what we already suspected: the iPad 2 will get at the very least one camera on the back and (in all likelihood) a front-facing VGA cam as well.

In case you’ve forgotten, we can add the cameras to the growing list of rumored specs, including a dual-core processor and a retina display.

There’s almost no way that Apple could NOT release a second-generation iPad without at least one camera at this point, or many, many people (or at least Macheads) are going to be very disappointed.

Do your parents know you are using their computer in such an infantile way. Better get back to your potty training!

I dont think the 'Macheads' will be disappointed if it does not come out with a camera.
As dear old Steve will have told them they do not need a camera, and if the want one they must be high, and of course he knows best.
But yes, it would be a ridiculous omission if there is not one.
@Will T
What about the omissions from your believed God Steve, in Windows 7 series phone OS phones?

@Will T: ... nor even implied that.

So please leave that religious zealot fantasy separate of reality -- however hard it may be for "I hate Apple!" cultist.
@denisrs No, he hasn't. But if it did not come with a camera, that's what he would tell people.

There are basically two camps when it comes to features: Listen to the user and implement what they ask for, or decide that the user typically doesn't really understand what he wants, and give him what you think he wants. Jobs is 100% in the second camp. Both ways have their merits to be sure.

Jobs is also not shy or subtle. If he decides that you don't actually want something that you have asked for he will tell you so in no uncertain terms.
