Tablet with 2 cameras for 3D mode
Why not be the first to have 3D video conferencing or to capture the position of your hand to manipulate a 3D OS interface with 3D gestures.
They buy so match of those cameras for the iPhone,iPod Nano, Macbook and iMac that it is a cheap component for them. Set the two in different angle and it just works. :-)

Forget about this fancy crap and worry about making this device fast, light, thin, powerful and practical.

If you watch video conferencing in the movies,( or in Apple demonstrations) it looks great.
Because the callee looks directly out of the screen and makes eye contact.
In real-life, callers look at the eyes of the callee (on the monitor) - and do not look directly into the camera. Which results into a disappointing lack of eye-contact. This is not an easy-to-solve problem. Without fancy mirrors, it is impossible to have a screen and a camera in the same place.
Two cameras - one either side of the screen - could create two images which could be morphed into an single image. The apparent camera position could be the centre of the screen - and this would give an ideal video chat setup!
But I don't expect that we will see this in the Tablet.

Why not see something like this in a tablet?

Because it's completely unnecessary.
