Frankly, taking pictures with a tablet does not seem such a killer app and if I can understand FaceTime-like uses, I never uses them (On my iPhone for instance) as it is not really useful...

I would really like to see a pro version of the iPad : rugged, no camera and so on and so forth...
Restrictions at work concerning cameras are the reason I've waited until now—when I'm currently 56 days away from retirement—to update from my first generation iPad. Indeed, that's the reason I bought the first generation just before the second generation came out; I assumed (correctly as it turned out) that the second generation would have a camera. It's also the reason I have a simple, basic flip cell phone with no camera.

I wonder how many people are in similar situations? You'd think some of the manufacturers would see there's a niche market for devices without cameras. They are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
