Re: using camera on ipad to scan envelopes, etc?

2012-05-23 Thread Dan
Hello,
Yes, but I said that the iPad, meaning the original iPad doesn't have a camera.
However, I'm interested in how well it works.
So far, I have not really had any success with my iPhone 4S.

Re: using camera on ipad to scan envelopes, etc?

2012-05-23 Thread Lois Butterfield
Right, I guess it was Dave who said the iPad 2 didn’t have a back facing 
camera.  

I still haven’t tried scanning anything.  It’s quite awkward to hold compared 
to the nice little phone
