Agree that using the back camera on a tablet/iPad is very awkward. A front facing camera for people who Skype or network somehow with family and friends makes more sense, so maybe improve the front camera more than the rear one.
I think a $300 keyboard is ridiculous. It might be worth $100, and surely 3rd party ones will appear before long that are much less expensive and just as good, if not better.
A keyboard just isn’t a priority for my iPad. The iPad is good for types of things that don’t require a mouse and keyboard, but not much good for tasks that do. Even text editing is awkward on an iPad because it is difficult and time consuming trying to select text, cut, paste, etc. Text editing is so much better when done on a computer.
I personally think that trying to make a single device to replace a computer and a tablet is waste of time, at least for me. I’ve tried laptops with touchscreens and those fail miserably as tablet replacements. I’ve tried using tablets for extensive text editing, spreadsheet design, heavy duty image processing, etc., and they fail miserably at those tasks. It reminds me of my Leatherman tool. Those are nifty little devices for occasional use, but if something breaks down on the car or in the house I’m going to my toolbox and getting much better tools out to use. When it comes to daily computer and tablet tasks, at least for me, I prefer to have both devices and use each/all for the tasks they excel in. Trying to build one device to be all devices is just not working out.
