On one hand, I feel like these are all just excuses, but then I have to ask myself the question: outside of FaceTime, what use cases do I see for the camera on my iPad? I'm certainly not going to walk around snapping photos with something the size of a small dinner tray. I'm even struggling with the concept that I'd even use the camera for FaceTime. I've got ready access to video chat on my iPhone and laptop through Skype, yet I rarely use it outside of introductions. I get the whole "see your kids" thing, but in most contexts, I just don't want to see the person.
The only use case I have much interest in is the virtual overlay possibilities. I've used a couple of demo apps on my iPhone, and while it's cool, the screen is too small to capture much of field of view. I'm hoping the iPad will remedy this a bit.
This is all speaking from my own perspective. Everyone is different, so priorities will vary. I definitely acknowledge that to the person that really wants a camera, all this sounds like a bunch of excuses.
