One of the biggest criticisms we've heard about Apple's new iPad is the lack of a built-in camera. But even though Steve Jobs and crew may have left that crucial feature off the list this time around, an enterprising Seattle app developer is looking to fill the void.

Michael Burford, who ironically had his Strip Poker apps removed from the App store two months ago during Apple's infamous porn purge, is back in action with a 99 cent app called "Camera for iPad." When the app is running on both the iPhone and the iPad simultaneously, it wirelessly connects the devices via Bluetooth. That allows photographers to use their iPhones to take photos with an iPad, which Burford describes in the product description as nothing short of magic.

"Simply start Camera for iPad on both devices, and they'll find each other," explains Burford. "Your iPad shows what the iPhone's camera is seeing. Intuitive controls let you zoom with a pinch or rotate with a swipe. And just tap the button to take a high resolution photo that is saved onto your iPad."

Burford, who operates the small development shop Headlight Software, isn't the only one to have figured this out and attack what could be an emerging (albeit short lived) market. Gizmodo on Tuesday featured mobile apps for the iPad and iPhone called Camera A and Camera B which does much the same thing.

Burford tells us that the app could be used for setting up group photos or even as a baby monitor.

"One of the biggest complaints about the iPad is that it doesn't have a camera...so we thought we'd figure a way to solve it until Apple (maybe) adds it in the iPad2 next year," he said.
