Yup, it's all restrictions by apple. Justifying a crappy resolution camera as being for 3G when the people who designed the product don't allow it to be used on 3G makes no sense to me.
And, Will, I have used Facetime on my macbook pro with my roommate's iPhone4 just to see the quality and it's pretty bad as well as with my girlfriends new iPod. A higher res front facing camera wouldn't be difficult at all.
A higher resolution would not have much of an impact on the performance with those specs. Nothing is going to be pushing the limits of what the iPad2 can do...except in relation to multitasking because if they didn't add more RAM, multitasking is going to be terrible like in the current iPad. I mean seriously, the iPhone has 512MB of RAM. You think 256MB is enough for a tablet? 1GB minimum is required in my opinion.
Rekna makes plenty of good points about the iPad as a productivity tool. Safari is a terrible web browser.
