OmniVision to Supply Front and Rear Cameras in Next-Gen iPad

Apple’s second-generation iPad will likely have a front-facing camera and a rear-facing camera as well, both to be supplied by digital-imaging outfit OmniVision. That’s the word from Detwiler Fenton, which claims the former will be VGA and the latter a 5MP camera based on OmniVision’s CMOS sensor.

Seems a reasonable prediction–after all, the next iteration of the iPad is expected to support the company’s FaceTime video chat technology, and OmniVision is responsible for the camera in the iPhone 4.
