No flash on iPad

[Newbyspark]

Why did they not put a flash on the camera of the fancy new iPad?

So they can release a new one with a flash in 6 months and all the Apple fans will go crazy over it...

Apple always do the same...like with the iPhone slowly releasing old technology on the phone but people go wild over it...like a camera, Bluetooth etc...

Maybe Samsung have the patent on camera flashes and they wanted to avoid another law suit .

Maybe because the camera is crap. I can't get a decent photo out of it!

Videos however are pretty good.

Why they don't put macromedia flash on anything is what annoys me!!

This might answer your question on the flash of the Adobe variety:

Interesting article - I always believed that the reason Flash was not used by apple was because of a fall out between the two companies. Makes sense though:

"But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short."

Flash does use a lot of power and is not really compatible with touch screens.
