I have an iPad 2, and it does have a camera on the back.  I haven’t yet used it 
to scan anything.  I’ll give it a try and let you know.

Hello, 
The iPad, at least the original iPad does not have any cameras at all.

  Hello,

  On the iPad and iPad II, there is only one camera in the front for visual / 
webcam calling. This camera is not good enough for OCR.

      Hello,

      I prefer Prizmo. It has a very steep learning curve, but if you make it 
through the learning, Prizmo works quite well. OCR works on an iPhone 4 or 
higher and the latest iPad. Nothing else has a good enough camera. The iPad 
would probably be more difficult because of its size. This is merely 
speculation on my part as I have not seen the latest iPad yet.

        I don't have an iphone yet, but plan to get one in the next couple of 
months.  Meanwhile, I'm wondering if it's possible to get an app that will scan 
printe mail and stuff like that?  I'm thinking this cannot happen with an ipad, 
but wanted this clarified from some one who knows more about this stuff than I 
do. If I am able to scan mail, which app would be more benefitial for me?
