Re: What is the point of a rear camera in these devices?

It's for an app which displays the ground as you walk and use the tablet, preventing you from tripping over stuff.

Acer: The big question remains support and honouring warranty!

With near custom devices as pads are, very important factors will be hardware support and honouring the warranty.

Acer's historical record hasn't been, in my experience, exactly valiant in these respects. For example, when a rubber foot fell off one of their better computers, the purchase of a case was required to effect repairs. Real wastage of material and money.

What is the point of a rear camera in these devices?

Do they seriously think many people are going to be walking around holding up a 10" tablet trying to take pictures of things?

Hooray! Small these panels may be, but could this be the start of an aspect-ratio sanity backlash that will benefit the whole portable arena? Jolly well hope so; at some point I will want to buy a new laptop, not a DVD player with a keyboard.
