Most notable omission is a camera. Skype video is the killer app for this machine.
- mos1 17y agopeople keep saying this, and i keep thinking it'll be shot from a truly horrible angle and will be really unflattering.
- ojbyrne 17y agoIf you're talking to a close friend or family member (that's the use case), it doesn't matter.

- celoyd 17y agoApple’s photo software already has face recognition and its video software already has good image stabilization. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were spin-offs of work towards precisely this.
- electromagnetic 17y agoBad angle, really? This is freaking Apple we're talking about if Jobs can't resolve something as simple as a camera angle (hello dozen phones that came out last year with a swivel mounted camera to directly resolve this problem) then he should resign as an incompetent fool. He managed to bring Apple back from the brink and revolutionize the industry, if he can't resolve a camera angle issue he's a complete fraud with more luck than Jesus crossed with that air stewardess who fell from flight altitude crossed with the bastard child of Anakin Skywalker and Yoda. I'm sorry, bad camera angle is the biggest piece of piss poor excuse I've ever heard. I'd honestly be more appeased if Apple simply said "sorry, things got missed out that we wanted to implement, shit happens - that's life".
- bmalicoat 17y agoAndy Ihnatko mentioned something about this the other day. Since the device is orientation-less (for the most part), Apple could make an iSight that plugged into the dock connector and you just held it upside-down. They probably won't, but it is possible.
