Is it appearance of the #iPad case where Camera and Mic are attached? Is this a joke?

iPadには、なぜかカメラが付いていない。発売当初から疑問だけど、何か理由は有るのだろう。しかし、これでは、ARの端末として使用することができない。そこで登場するのが、カメラとマイク付きのiPadケース。このケースは単なるジョークなのか、それとも....

The iPad clearly needs a camera. Maybe not the fancy 5-megapixel, hi-def-shooting camera in the iPhone 4 – after all, who wants to hold a big slab up to snap photos? – but something for grabbing basic images would make Apple’s tablet way more useful.

Unless you want to wait for v2.0 next year, a case would be the only way to add a camera, and that’s just how Chet Rosales has managed it with his iPad Cam-Case. The concept case has an ugly fat strip up the side which has a camera at its top. This camera flips in its mount to fire forward or back, depending on whether you are videoconferencing or just snapping pictures.
