It might be possible if the hardware fits, but then there may be a driver issue.

Yep-driver would be key, and cyanomod 9 doesnt do cam yet anyway, but potential is there, especially cam coming from a droid device.

It looks just like the iPhone 3g camera. If I could take the touch pad apart I actually have a couple cameras laying around from my iPhone repair days.

It does look very similar. That'd be pretty sweet if had the same pin-out.
