According to multiple sources, Apple's second generation iPad will have both front and rear-facing cameras, for FaceTime video calling.
This latest iPad 2 rumor is nothing new; we first reported on rumors of the second generation iPad's front-facing camera in October. Back then, it was rumored that OmniVision would provide both the front and rear-facing cameras in the iPad 2.
Now, Reuters has also noted that a camera equipped iPad is in the works. Supposedly, the device will feature both front and rear-facing cameras, which are now rumored to be provided by Genius Electronic Optical CO and Largan Precision Co. It has also been noted that iPad 2 production could begin as early as Q1, 2011.
This fits in with the supposed iPad 2 cases we told you about earlier today. Images of the alleged cases show a space for a front-facing camera, as rumored.
