A thousand times my sister has facetimed me from New Zealand laying in her bed, chatting incessantly about her new life as a mother, then all of the sudden she flips the camera (not the iPad) to show me her little angel sleeping in her cradle.

Thanks Apple.

My Aunt is in love with her iPad, and mainly uses it as a camera, and image viewer.

I personally think people look more like dorks trying to thumb text into their phones and tablets.

I'd imagine that most phone cameras would beat whatever Asus would most likely have used in this. Given I always have my phone on my I'm happy they left it out and hit the $200 price point.

I guess his point is you're more likely to have a phone 'always with you' therefor a tablet camera is sort of superfluous apart from in a few instances.
