Brings video, hosting options
Cisco has released v2.0 of WebEx for iPad. The app lets users participate in online WebEx meetings, which allow for audio and data communication. The title now also supports video, with up to four separate streams selectable through a carousel. A fullscreen option is available, and stream quality adjusts automatically; participants must, however, be on Wi-Fi in order to get video.
iPads have additionally gained the ability to host meetings. People can schedule and invite others into a session, and switch presenters as needed. Some other changes include support for Wi-Fi proxies, and a roster of foreign language options including Swedish and Korean.
The app is free, but requires an organization to run WebEx infrastructure. Any iPad running iOS 3.2 or later should be compatible.

VC camera for sure, then...
At least the videoconferencing camera seems guaranteed for the iPad 2. Maybe there's some hope for a rear-facing camera as well, although some say it would be rather useless. I disagree as I think it could come in handy.
