Will we see iPad webcam/camera accessories?

I was wondering this myself. I don't have a real need for it but I was thinking someone may come up with a way to hook in a webcam through the connector.
This makes more sense than building it in, because most people wont use a built in camera anyways
Its certainly possible via iPhone 3.0's Accessory capabilities. The only questions is will somebody make one. I think somebody will. I think there are a lot of people who would buy it.
I believe there are licensing $$$$ issues if you develop an accessory that takes advantage of the dock connector and an app. It's probably why you don't see many devices yet. You would think someone would've made a bluetooth game controller or more accessories that take advantage of the dock connection

I'd say yes... at some point, this will happen... unless Apple decides to lay the smack down on 3rd party developers for making accessories that use the 30-pin connection.

>implying that the mic isn't strong enough to pick up your voice even if its turned 180 degrees down
This is the exact same idea I had, except that on the bottom of the camera there would be another 30 pin connector port so you could still charge and/or synchttp://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=858197&highlight=
