Apple Granted Patent for Digital Camera


 

Macsimum News is reporting that the U.S. Patent Office has granted a re-issue of a patent for “apparatus and method for rotating the display orientation of a captured image” that was associated with Apple’s discontinued QuickTake camera.

Could Apple be planning a digital camera in 2006? Seems logical with the release of Aperature, their already popular iPhoto and the photo storage and display capabilities of the iPod.

    Or even better they could be planning a PDA or SmartPhone that has a built in camera. :)

    Its probably just for Aperture itself. Download the pictures, and they automatically re-orient themselves the correct way. Just a guess.
