Apple seeking photo software expert for iPad

A job listing on Apple's Jobs site (and by that we mean careers, not Steve) asks for an iOS photography software engineer specifically to work on "the Mac and iPad platforms," fueling more speculation that a future iPad will likely have a camera built into it. This is far from a confirmation -- in fact, the job ad mentions that the position will tackle "text rendering and editing and HTML generation for publishing and viewing photo based content," so it could be a position working on a viewer for web-based photos, or some sort of official photo editing app on the iPad itself, not necessarily involving taking pictures with the device.

But it certainly does seem logical that we'll see a camera on the iPad eventually -- even if the use case is a little different than a phone you always have with you, the iPad would certainly benefit from being able to see the world. Even the Mac has an iSight on it, so if nothing else, we can hope for a camera like that.
