This whole thing is ludicrous. It's not the public's fault anyway. It's practically impossible to buy a decent phone WITHOUT a camera regardless of whether you want one or not. I don't know of anyone from my group of friends that actually uses the camera.
The phone manufacturers included the cameras in the first place because the service providers wanted to increase revenue from MMS. Not because users wanted a camera attatched. Personally i would rather buy something like a p900 without the stupid camera that is useless and just increases the price tag for no good reason

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
