Please help fedback to see how this mine blowing will impact use. Chad,

When I mentioned FCC, I am implying that they have enforced standardization in ensuring voice data are exchanged across any platforms. In other words, FCC has shaped how PSTN behaves. @Erik: Yes, the PSTN is part of the interoperability solutions.

It's required by FCC. I think you are referred to Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), right? That's why they have central switch around the world. While we, Deaf people, don't have central switch yet and with limited technology. I hope that they will expand that part for Deaf. (Correct me if I am mistake and open to discuss). =) Thanks. Chad,

Ipad is here in Sweden now I think. Do you have 3g pole to see cam as we have in Europe. We got mobile phone with cam before 2000 or a little later? Hearing people used it before us and didn't like it, because the sound is after the picture, maybe 2 - 3 sec after. They stopped using it. Thank God that they still produce and sell it for deaf people in Europe, wow! Now we can use VRS via mobilphone + cam. Excellent to use it for shopping for ex.. asked for clothes, size, colour etc through VRS.. :-) Soon we will have cam in Iphone, and I really hope in the future we also have it in Ipad. A question: Do you have 3 g pole for the network..It is coming first! Good luck if you success with Ipad then! Hello, speaking of Ipad and here we have Iphone. Ipad is here in Sweden now I think.

I have a feeling that Apple will add camera in the second version, hopefully! Guess we have to wait and see :) Chad,

Other devices have nothing on the iPad. I'm amenable to buying 16 GB with WiFi (I'm using Verizon MiFi 2200). Nothing high-end until Apple upgrades iPad to feature video capabilities. http://i.gizmodo.com/5458382/8-things-that-suck-about-the-ipad I love Apple but is concerned about this.

They were touchscreen, 7-8 inches wide, had widgets all over (the simplified, intuitive desktop you referred to), had wifi and even bluetooth, a true browser, etc etc, but weren't as thin and had far less impressive battery life spans... but they were CHEAP ($400 range for some of them). I don't think Apple made any leap whatsoever with the iPad. They just came out with a better packaging, which is expected for 2010. The cynic in me has to question if they skimped on the webcam so they could have a second round of sales.

FCC wants your inputs on such devices before they are approved. You can raise hell with FCC in order to approve iPad WITH a web camera. Steve Jobs already has provision for a web camera in iPad in case.
