Google was planned to put a 5MP Rear Camera on the Nexus 7 [Video]

The Google Nexus 7 tablet arrives with an extremely affordable $199 price for the basic 8GB model, and one shortcut Google had to take to arrive at that is the rear camera (5MP was suggested) the 7-inch tablet doesn't have one, instead it only features a front-facing cameras fit for video calls but little else.

That shouldn't be a dealbreaker for most of you since shooting pictures with your tablet might not be the best idea, but interestingly it seems that Asus and Google initially planned to include a rear camera. Or at least the whole design is built around that idea. Or Asus just used a previous design.
