Does anyone actually take photos with a tablet device?

    Just getting my Samsung Galaxy Tab ready for the Summer holidays and I was wondering about the camera.

    I find it the ideal size for travelling, everything I need in one compact unit, music, films, games and of course interwebs. However, while I have taken photos with it before, and I do find the quality perfect for my needs, I always feel a bit of a plonker taking a photo with it in public.

    So, my question, for all you Android tablet users - do you use your device to take photos at all? Or is it one of those extras that everybody gives out about if it is missing (stares at iPad 1), yet never use?

    My archos only has a small lo-res front camera, useless for taking photos. And there are no video chat apps that work on it either :) (no latest android for gtalk, no latest skype either, fring also doesnt work)

    Just use your phone for taking photos, surely you have one right?

    I put my personal phone SIM card into the Tab. So it's technically my phone. :)

    And I will not be taking my work iPhone with me. The whole idea is to reduce the number of gadgets.

    Mine is pretty crap and front-facing and I've never got a chat program going on it.

    I think I tried and it either crashed all the time or I couldn't convince anyone else to use it and had nobody to chat to! Same with oovoo.
