ASUS spills jelly beans on why Nexus 7 has no rear camera, cites
cost  Google's Nexus 7 tablet may be receiving OnLive Universal
Controller support soon. What the Jelly Bean-flavored device
won't be getting, however, is a rear-facing camera. Now ASUS is
offering an explanation for the omission -- and no, it isn't to
prevent users from looking like a doofus when snapping photos in
public. ASUS apparently faced two options for a rear-facing
camera: go cheap or go for quality. The company says it decided
against sticking a lower-end camera at the back of the device
because it would compromise the user experience. Adding a high-
quality rear camera, on the other hand, would increase costs too
much, so that proposition was nixed as well. The good news is
that apps such as Instagram are finding ways to make things work
with just the Nexus 7's front-facing camera. In the meantime,
here's a little ditty from Google that just might help put a
smile on your face.
