Icons found in the iPhone OS 3.2 SDK framework say it all
New evidence found in the iPhone OS 3.2 software development kit for iPad points out the possibility of video chat support for future iPad and iPhone devices, reports 9-to-5 Mac.
The icons found in the iPhone OS 3.2 SDK are placed in its TelephoneyUI framework segment. Of course, there would be a small camera on the front-side as a part of hardware revision for supporting video-call and video chat. Otherwise, all iPhone and iPad owners would have to stand in front of mirrors for video chat features.
Apple would never put a code in the software development kit without any future plans to bring in a significant feature. The company has been known for being tight-lipped and so far, we've observed that it reveals not one, but a couple features at a time. So, we wait for the white-fruit-themed toy maker to comment officially on this one.
Small features like these can make an iPad really worthwhile. It was turning out to be quite lackluster for what it was hyped up to be. Now if only they'd add some form of multitasking to the device (2 apps at once for a start maybe?) .Glad Apple is finally waking up to the current technologies instead of staying a bend behind in the curve.
The question is that whether the current gen remains as attractive in the light of this discovery. Considering it's Apple, some early adapters might rush in but this spoils the prospects of the current gen device somewhat.
