New iPad with FaceTime coming soon

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 11 Sep 2010 4:28 User comments (5)

According to sources cited by AppleInsider, an iPad with a front-facing camera and FaceTime will likely be released soon, breaking Apple's traditional 12-month product cycle for "i" devices.

The sources claim that the refreshed iPad is already in advanced testing stages, just five months after the launch of the first-generation tablet.

Expected launch date for the second-generation iPad? The Q1 2011.

The site also speculated that Apple is hoping to embed FaceTime into all its iOS devices before opening up the standard to the community.

FaceTime has become the main selling point for all new iOS device, with new TV ads boasting about the software rather than new hardware enhancements to the devices.

This was obviously coming that why I told most of the dummies who I knew was gonna buy the thing on launch day to wait a little longer. Not even a year yet and their device will be already out of date.

Ouit of date? For facetime? I know dozens of people with iPhone 4's and none of them have even tried it yet. Not really making the existing iPads out of date. More memory would make the new ones a bit faster, maybe a retina display. But still wouldnt make it out of date.

What? A New iPad? You mean Apple suckered all those people into buying version 1 only to release a new one with features like a camera that should of been in version 1? Say it isn't so.

It is out of date because the first-gen devices don't have cameras.

	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
