The lack of a camera was a seriously incompetent move by apple, especially considering that they've placed one in the Nano, which has none of the potentials for use like the iPad.<p>I'm sorry, but this is 2010, I've rarely seen a cell phone without a camera since 2000. Apple has even pioneered placing them in devices that have no need as a gimmick. So someone at Apple HQ was having serious brain farts when they decided to let the iPad go to production without even a single camera in it.<p>The iPad <i>requires</i> a self-portrait camera for video chat and the ever popular self-pic, but it also needs a camera for taking pictures and recording the environ.
