iPad Camera Accessory? (Concept)
This is a little concept that I came up with and photoshopped together showing what it might look like if the iPad had a camera accessory. I was using my iPad and I was flipping it around admiring the accelerometer and I noticed that all apps that display in portrait and the home screen can be flipped over so the 30 pin dock, speaker, and home button are on the top. This got me wondering, this meant that an iChat app could just be flipped over and a camera accessory could be plugged in. This would allow for iPad video chats, taking photos with the iPad, taking Videos with the iPad and more! Tell me what you think of the concept below in the comments.

That looks like a really great idea to me.
Great post!
It would certainly work! Dock Connector accessories, right?
Great concept. iPad would be epic for video conferencing.
I don't see it as the most practical camcorder though.... haha
I'm not sure if anyone remembers there, but those old Gameboy Colour cameras? Add some sort of ability to have it turned around 180degrees, so it could be used as a camera that doesn't face the screen as well? Not sure if that's practical though. It would be a nice feature to have just in case.
I think you should post this idea to Apple somehow. It is really good.
