probably you don't understand the price of each component going into any device. do you know how its simple nowadays for mobile phones to have a MP cmos camera? what Acer is doing here is part & parcel of stratifying their products to "fit" their intended price point, so in case you're not satisfied with this "lame" netbook with a sub-MP webcam, then perhaqps you can buy their higher-end products. but not for me dude, there are other worthy alternatives to this one, and more coming soon as everybody is now jumping into the netbook bandwagon.
