I just figured out what you guys are all talking about. I guess I never thought it was weird because (a) the only pictures I've taken using the edge have been of me! And (b) I figured it was there for eventual video chat purposes, where you probably would want the camera on the same screen as the one you're using for your video chat, so you have the option of having it folded into a slate.

But now I get it. Though, I can see why they'd have made it this way. I probably would have, thinking of it as the typical placement for a video chat app.
