Barron’s reports today that manufacturer OmniVision has been tapped to supply image sensors for the next-generation iPad. Citing a note from investment firm Detweiler Fenton & Co., Barron’s suggests that the new iPad, due in the first quarter of 2011, will feature two cameras: one 5 MP model and one a VGA. It’s also expected that FaceTime will be supported.
It seems quite likely that a future iPad will support FaceTime. Shortly after the current iteration was released, the folks at Mission:Repair confirmed that a slot in the iPad’s frame perfectly accommodated an iSight camera pulled from a MacBook Pro. It’s only a matter of times, folks. And once this thing hits…bam. Jetsons phone.
