Looks like the Apple iPad will have a camera at some point, perhaps not the first version shipping in March/April, but a later update will have one on the front at looks of these pictures.

A camera on the front would make this a perfect video conferencing device!

With all rumours going on in the Apple iPad land, you never really know – but these pictures look like pretty compelling evidence.

The Apple iPad is a remarkable device and although not released and shipping yet, we will provide a quick preview of the device, and hoping to get our hands on one soon to do a real review.

We believe that the Apple iPad will be the most portable computer, with a long battery life of 10 hours and a month of standby time. The real game change is that this is a new format to connect to the Internet to communicate, share and consume information.

And we believe that it will really compete with the Netbooks, and not the Tablet PC’s of today.

And it opens up a whole new real of opportunities for programmers to create applications, please tell us in the comments, is this something that you as a programmer will be working on, or have ideas to per-sue?
