, Feb 2nd 2010 Discuss [1]

The omission of a front-facing webcam from the Apple iPad has been a point of criticism by many over the past week, but judging by some photos of internal components the Cupertino company may be planning to address that.  Mission:Repair, who specialise in repairing electronics, claim to have received their first batch of iPad parts, and spotted that a MacBook webcam assembly fits perfectly into a gap in the iPad's frame.

Apple iSlate tablet has no camera/webcam?

, Jan 13th 2010 Discuss [1]

After Orange France's seeming on-air blunder (aka "taken out of context" misinterpretation) earlier this week regarding the Apple iSlate tablet, the specification mystery deepens with another tidbit from Daring Fireball's John Gruber.  Last heard describing the iSlate project as "a cone of silence", the well-connected blogger now says that, as far as he's heard, the Apple tablet has "no camera, webcam or otherwise".

Orange France VP confirms Apple Tablet on-air?

, Jan 11th 2010 Discuss [1]

Securing a deal with Apple is the kind of thing any carrier executive would want to crow about, but we're still somewhat dubious about Orange France VP Stéphane Richard's apparent on-air confirmation of the Apple iSlate tablet.

IPEVO unveils P2V USB webcam on articulating stand

, Nov 3rd 2009 Discuss [1]

The thing I dislike about most webcams is that they are designed to sit on the top of your monitor. That means that depending on how large an LCD you use the camera is either up too high making you have to look up at it or down to low so you have to hunch over. IPEVO has unveiled a new webcam called the P2V that is on an articulating arm and can be more at your level. Read The Full Story

Astak Mole intelligent IP webcam has YouTube & Twitter integration

, Oct 28th 2009 Discuss [1]

We're not entirely convinced by the idea of naming your autonomous webcam "The Mole"; after all, when it comes to eyesight moles aren't especially known for their 20/20 vision.  Still, we'll overlook that since Astak's Mole is pretty nifty: a motion-activated IP webcam, with WiFi and wired ethernet connections, that can automatically upload footage to YouTube together with sending out email and Twitter messages.
