You can almost feel the front camera of the iPad 2. Although Apple still does not confirm anything, as usual, the latest information from the specialized DigiTimes site indicates that the serial production of this accessory for the next edition of the tablet could have started.
In order to certify this data, they rely on the fact that the Largan Precision company has just signed a new contract to supply components to the Cupertino company. Largan Precision, in addition, is the current supplier of the five megapixel cameras of the iPhone 4, and from the Boy Genius Report site they point out that it could even be that same sensor that they installed to function as a front camera on the iPad 2.
Recall that the inclusion of a front camera in the next iPad 2 would join this device with the generation of gadgets that can currently communicate with each other with the Facetime function (consisting of the connection of free video calls via Wi-Fi connection).
In addition, the absence of that camera in the iPad model that has been swarming the market since last April was already a source of criticism, so Apple could have decided to back down to give more power to the device, in order to be more competitive in which many already call " the year of the tablet ".
So far, it is known that the iPad 2 would see the light during the first quarter of 2011. It would be then when we would see a device that could reduce its size, in addition to including a new screen based on the same technology as the iPhone 4 (the IPS Retina with a powerful concentration of pixels per inch). The new iPad 2 would also incorporate a redesigned casing based on lighter components that would allow its structure to be thinned.
