Na minha opinião, uma câmera frontal para videoconferências (e outras inovações, como uma já citada que permitiria que a tablet identificasse o seu usuário através de reconhecimento facial) faz bastante sentido no iPad — ao contrário de uma traseira, para fotos/vídeos. Imagine só, alguém segurando um dispositivo com uma tela de quase 10 polegadas pra tirar foto de alguém? Not good. 😛
