I'm just saying.
If the friggin' iPod Nano has a camera, and the equally horribly-named joojoo has a camera, and every other mobile device on the planet has a camera. It looks pretty stupid not to have a camera.
Maybe it's a lawsuit thing with Kodak, but I doubt it. Maybe it's an Apple/AT&T thing preventing users from ditching their iPhones in favor of a Skype enabled iPad, but again I doubt it. Maybe Apple wasn't ready to put the camera in because they're working on a new enhanced version that will debut on the iPhone first.
It will eventually have one, but people are catching on to Apple's release cycle and the fact that they will put one in later or drop the price of the existing one if it does not sell well.
