In my ongoing quest to weigh the pro and cons of this device, I pose this question to you, NT.
At first I was utterly appalled that such a device, with it's pick up-and-play nature, did not include a camera. Now, I'm starting to think it may be best that it doesn't.
If there were a front-facing camera and the device were in your lap, it would probably capture the underside of your chin and all of your nostril hairs. This is not the ideal position one would want to use a camera in, especially if they're video conferencing or talking to a loved one via skype.
I'm forced to question the strength of this argument since third parties could somehow come up with accessories that remedy this problem completely.
So, Apple may or may not be withholding a camera until the later generation. One wonders.
