Putting a user-facing camera in a tablet device sounds hard. It works in laptops because they're fixed in place, and it could work in a phone because they're easy to hold with one hand. A tablet would probably be too big/heavy to hand-hold. Putting it on a flat surface wouldn't work either, unless the camera could swivel somehow, and Apple isn't really big on moving parts.
