I agree. People don't realize how important development cycle is to these types of devices, and the 770 in particular. (The latest Nokia E-series phone has a better email app right now than the 770) Oh, a camera is relatively small and light, so adding it is no big deal, they think. All of the man-hours spent figuring out how to integrate it; they could have left the camera on the cell phone and spent that time better on basic HW/SW improvements, better USB support generally and then let users add a webcam if they want.

My other concern is that a camera could be a sort of gimmicky thing to do for advertising to consumers. I hope they haven't changed focus from a mobile, modular, low-cost, open, tablet computing platform, to a mylo-like gadget.
