it would actually be useful when you want to take shots with friends/family without someone holding the tablet for you

Install the "Mirror" app and you'll see that what you propose is not really a good idea. The front camera quality is very poor.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

I dont think the front facing camera has the quality that most people would want in pictures, but it is usable. There are a few apps in the maemo repos that use it (i think one is a mirror app). And you can use the front facing camera to make video calls using google talk.

There also my game for the front camera (see signature). 
But you really wouldn't want to use that camera for photos. Even if the image quality was better the resolution of 0.3 megapixels is too low for photos.
