The GPS, it depends on your usage, it would allow you to use your tablet as a navigation device (now you can save maps on your device), or by using a 3rd party app. The camera is also a nice addition for video conferencing.
My remark didn't exclude a dual-core or sufficient RAM. Quad-core is overkill for this market.

Since this seems to be about what "most" people need in a tablet at this level, most of them have smartphones that are much easier to use for navigation, photos, and video conferencing. Therefore, a waste of money by Google.

Personally, I'm glad these features were included; but really, they weren't necessary.
