1 Megapixel rear camera?

People get so excited by the HD moniker but 720p only requires 1.3MP so that can easily be all it is. And if so, thats very disappointing.
(BTW. The Facetime HD camera on the current Macbooks are 1.3MP. And last gens Macbook camera? Also 1.3MP but software limited to .3MP. The obtaining 720p HD video is much easier than most people think)
It's OK, the iPad 3 (or iPad 2, if you class this as iPad 1.5) will have a 5mp camera with flash and 1080p.
They have only mentioned the words Camera, Video and 720p have they not?
I've not seen any mention of Camera res, or still photo shots. Have you?
The implication that they are guilty of hiding something or knowingly put in sub-standard components and aren't owning up to it is rubbish. Keep smearin'
No it's just simple logic.
If you fit something you KNOW is great and you KNOW people will be impressed by it ag go "wow, that's cool" then you announce it.
If you know that by telling people the spec of something people will go, "Oh that's pretty poor" you just gloss over it, and say nothing.
Does not mean you are lying or anything. what you don't tell people about is as important as what you do tell people about.
The very fact they did not say anything about the spec of the rear camera is that they know what the reaction would be if they did say it.
Why the heck would I hold 10 inch device to take a picture or record movies?
I would only use cameras for photo booth and face time.
1 megapixel is fine. If that is what it takes apple keep the cost low, then fine. Don't be stupid like motorola Xoom and somehow I will pay 799 dollars for a tablet with 4G and 5 megapixel camera that I won't use.

They didn't mention it because it's not it's not a feature they are highlighting or targeting with the iPad. Big deal. It's nothing to blame them for, it doesn't mean it's 'poor', whatever your continual attempts to cast aspersions and FUD.
Keep costs down = fitting poor camera to save 5 dollars.
I know some were hoping they would be able to use the camera in business as a sort of photocopier. they could photo a document and email it direct to someone else, all using the iPad.
a 1 megapixel makes this impossible I'd imagine.
Because you can.
Its not a $100 add on so the fact that its there is nice. And if you dont like it then its easy to ignore.
