So what does "Backside Illumination" mean?
Apple is just notorious for giving just a bit but not to much to save something for the next release crap.
If that's such a problem, you can easily just not give them your money.
It does not have a flash, well, based on the pictures at least and the fact that nothing has indicated there would be one.
It would have been useful as a flashlight, but honestly, I turn flash off on my phone...I don't prefer it and it makes my pictures look .. "flashy"
Ummmmm Ok ... That was waste of 3 seconds of my life to read!
Back to the original topic stupid!
Well, he's right. If you want a tablet with a flash then don't get an iPad. You don't need to throw a childish fit every time you find out your desired toy doesn't have some feature you want.
