It would be logical for Apple to come up with an iPad which has a front facing and a rear facing camera and fully supports FaceTime, since the iPhone 4 and the iPod touch 4G does, and also the Mac has joined the FaceTime family. According to an investment firm Detweiler Fenton, the next-gen iPad will ship in the first quarter of next year, will have two cameras, and also a faster processor. Moreover, it’s been rumored that the next-gen iPad will have a forward facing VGA camera and a rear facing 5MP camera, and it will be a FaceTime ready device! We’re not sure how much this is true but only time can tell. But one thing is for sure, the next-gen iPad will surely be a FaceTime ready device, and it makes sense too. [via 9to5Mac]
