Still mad at Apple for not including a camera on the iPad? Well, there's now an app for that.
Camera for iPad [iTunes link] is an application that works on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, that allows you to connect to either an iPhone 3G or 3GS over Bluetooth. What this connection allows you to do is snap a picture on the iPad using the iPhone's camera. Pretty nifty, huh? The app even has a live view finder on the iPad so you can see what you're taking a picture of (presumably up to 30-feet away).
Of course, there's always downsides to the coolness factor. Users in the reviews section of iTunes are saying this $0.99 application is slow to transfer the pictures from the iPhone. Hopefully, a later update can fix this.
We would, of course, love to see this application be able to do live streaming video to the iPad via say, an iPhone 3GS. Hey, we can dream, can't we?
If you are inclined to purchase this application from the App Store [iTunes link], you can do so for $0.99. A small price to pay for an iPad camera.

I agree...it's very slow to transfer.
Why couldn't someone come up with a wifi connection app to create that live video capability?
