Rumors of an iPad 3 with 8 megapixel camera

The countdown begins for this Apple iPad 3, and while all the rumors point to the March 7 as the official date also begin to shoot those concerning the characteristics of the new device. We saw as according to some media Retinal Display would almost confirmed and now it seems that not only the screen could be radically improved, but also the camera , which would to 8 megapixels.

Rumors are rumors and should be given the credit he deserves, but when you consider that it would be the same camera that mounts the iPhone 4S manufactured by Sony and let's face it, at least to take pictures right now iPad 2 camera is pretty mediocre, could have a lot of sense.

If we ignore the rumor, we see in the image as the lens would be significantly larger, but at the same time there would be no redesign externally (or very minimal) with respect to the iPad 2, which, if we follow the tradition of Apple introduce a major cosmetic change each time you enter a big change in benefits do not end to fit.

And finally there any sense a high quality camera in the iPhone? Because the iPhone is great for many things, but certainly to take pictures is probably not the most appropriate device.
