the camera app is not included with the device. the front-facing camera is intended for hangouts/video calls. i just tried installing Camera+ from the marketplace and it says my 7 is not compatible. this is one way Google kept the device below $200.
- ZeroGravitas 14y agoI'm guessing a lot of the camera apps check for a rear camera and block themselves if it's not present. Since Google seems set to sell a bunch of these Nexus Tablets I'd imagine those apps will all get updated to work with its front camera.

For some reason, even though Google included the entire camera application in the build, they removed the launcher icon.
