We saw on Wednesday the release of iOS 4.3 beta to developers. This release has proved to be almost rock-solid proof that the next-gen iPad will have a camera or it’s very likely it will have 2, one in front and one in back. When developers got their hands on the beta they began digging and it didn’t take long before they found photo evidence that shows there might be plans for a camera on the iPad 2 which looks to be released some time in the first half of this year.

The image causing the uproar was found in the beta and titled ‘homeScreenOverlayFaceTime~ipad.png’ that according to sources, is used by iOS to allow the user a preview of wallpapers before selecting it. There’s 3 new app icons included in the image which even further hint at a camera on the device. The apps are titled FaceTime, Camera, ad Photo Booth, which makes it pretty obvious that we’ll be seeing for the camera at the launch. Even though there’s no way to be 100% sure there will be both front and rear cameras, it’s extremely likely there will be a camera on the front of the device after seeing the FaceTime and Photo Booth apps. It also looks like the iPad 2 will be heading in a more social direction with the iOS 4.3 update. Find My Friends was found in the first beta and now we’re seeing 2 new services that point at being made for social aspects. The services titled “Media Stream” and “Photo Stream” were discovered and could possibly be used to integrate media, movies, and photos through Apple’s MobileMe service. Evidence also points to these services coming to users as free, similar to how we saw FindMyiPhone become free with the release of iOS 4.2.1. With the discoveries found in this beta release, what are some other services you’d like to see make it to the final cut of the iOS?
