Aside from video conferencing, the uses are almost as ubiquitous.  I won’t bore you with the entire list of possibilities, my job is brainstorming, it would be far too long.

The point is why tout a piece of technology as “redefining” how we use technology while putting such severe limits on it.  Why not present the developer community with a piece of technology that allows them to imagine what they could do with it, rather than curse the limitations.

There… that’s my rant for today.  And hopefully Apple will listen to me and when they release the iPad it will have at least a camera.
