It was packed with tons of stuff, but you can't please everyone. Probably the number one let-down when the iPad was at long last revealed was the fact that there was no camera, despite numerous rumors that there would be.

Whether Apple pulled the camera idea at the last minute or whether they plan on adding it at some point or whether there's the potential for some kind of peripheral that brings video camera to the iPad, one thing is certain. Camera support is built in to the OS.

That's right. With the release of the iPhone OS 3.2 to developers, it was only a matter of time before some hidden nooks and crannies were discovered. According to Engadget's sources, there are "hooks to accept and decline a video conference, flip a video feed (which suggests a front-facing camera) and -- most importantly -- run the video call in either full screen mode or in just a portion of the screen."

The last piece is most interesting of all in that above paragraph because it suggests, despite what we all learned on the 27th, that there just might be the ability to run background apps in the software after all. Of course, it's the camera and its potential that most people will be eagerly awaiting. But that's not all.

We also learn further on in the article that jailbreakers have gotten their mitts on the OS and have been busy digging into possible ways to exploit the iPad, much as they've done with the iPhone. From this they've discovered nascent SMS capabilities (?), possible stylus support, upload ability through Safari, multiple dictionaries including user-added entries (can we get a he'll yeah!), and a lot more.

Even better, it seems a number of these updates aren't solely destined just for the iPad, so current iPhone users just might be seeing a little of this sweet new OS goodness as well. So if you're like us, you'll be plugging your iPhone into iTunes fairly regularly in the upcoming weeks, eager to get your own hands on some new dreamy iPhone OS features.
