For people who want the iPad to have a front facing camera...

During the keynote, I was waiting for Steve to power on a camera and a little light to pop on and show iChat AV/Theater for the iPad.

Then I thought about it more critically. Have you ever seen what you look like while sitting in a chair/couch from the perspective of the iPad? I decided to find out. Conclusion, it's terrible. Take a photo of yourself from that angle. Enjoy the fat face look, the direct line of sight up the nose, the awful shadows on your eyes. There's nothing appealing about that perspective.

I want the feature, but not if it looks hideous :)

like most criticisms... they aren't well thought out.
webcam= u gonna hold that thing straight out to use it? or are you going to let people count your nose hairs. it would have made for a good joke about apple booger cam.
camera for taking pictures = awkward and pointless. in something that thin there is no way to get a quality camera in there. and the target market will already have a camera/smartphone
