iPad Dock Blank Key Waiting for Camera and Video Calls?

by Jay Garrett on February 25, 2010

This is proof that attention to detail is a good thing.

There’s been plenty of rumours going around saying that the next version of the iPad will have at least one camera, probably for video calling, and even the existing iPad contains the necessary software.

Now, a sharp-eyed member of the Mac Rumours website has spotted that there is a blank key on Apple’s new iPad keyboard dock.

Have a look for yourself – it’s the one in the middle above the number 6 key.

Speculation is rife as to what this will become when launched.

Keeping in mind that the iPad keyboard dock already has a music playback button, screen brightness controls, a dedicated home button, a key to start a photo slideshow and a search key – Macduke thinks the blank button maybe for a Mac style dashboard.

I’m thinking/hoping it’s been left for the camera or a totally customisable key.

What are your thoughts on the use for this mysterious blank key?

Apple Tablet Time-Line Starts in 1888 ends on Wednesday 27 January 2010 (maybe)

by Jay Garrett on January 25, 2010

Yup folks!

It’s infographic time again!! :)

Although the iProd/iTablet/iSlate/iLash/iWhatever hasn’t actually been seen and its existence is still yet to be confirmed by the makers; the lovely Lalawag people have drawn up the history of this most rumoured of products.

How daft are we all going to look if the thing doesn’t actually exist? ;)

But then seeing as Apple’s lawyers took Valleywag to court over their Apple Tablet Scavenger Hunt….. I think Apple pretty much proved that the iTablet is real right then :p

I’m just glad that it wasn’t just another rumoured spotting, blurry photo (I wish!) or some overheard bar-talk about the size of the home button.
