10 inch tablet with no cameras?

[ianr]

Hello all, I spend a lot of time in data centres in which I am not permitted to take any cameras in. Consequently I'd like to get a 10" tablet with 3G but with no cameras, front or rear, do such things exist? I could get a 3G iPad 1 but I need an android tablet so I can use my apps and accounts from my Nexus S so the tablet would also ideally need Android market rather than one of those proprietary app stores. I need 3g so I can browse the net as I have to leave my phone in the car as it has a camera and would prefer not to buy a new phone if I can get a tablet with 3g instead.

I'll be looking into this more over the coming weeks, but thought I'd see if anyone here has been nosing through the currently available tablets enough to know the answer or has a similar requirement that they have already answered.

Thanks,

Ian

Looks like you're up a creek without a paddle. You might want to get a nook and root it, but that's only 7".

A possible solution would be to get something like a FlyTouch III, remove the camera and all camera apps, cover the lens aperture under the glass with an opaque material such as foil then have it certified by the tech wallahs as not being a camera...

I'd like an Archos Q9 10 incher, I called them to see if it was available without a camera fitted but they're not interested, so I'd have to pull a tablet apart myself and remove the various bits.. Not too interested in doing that if I can avoid it. I did ask them if their repair department could do it but most repair shops these days just board-swap due to the components being so hard to change so I doubt I'll get a positive reply, if any at all.

10" Hannspad has no cameras.

Sadly it also has no Honeycomb! Or 3g. I might be able to drop the 3G requirement via a MyFi or similar 3G wireless sharing device I suppose. I'll see if the Hannspad ever gets updated to gingerbread.

Just ordered a Hannspad as it's

Nook Tablets

No camera in latest Nook tablets puts focus on content consumption - Computerworld

TBH I think the B&N Nook is the only tablet that doesn't have a camera. You might have to change the ROM, so it's full Android and not cut-down B&N proprietary.

How do techs manage in no-camera/top-secret data-centres with their laptops. They use old IBM ThinkPads or something?
