The Interface is definitely lacking, but the hardware is usually pretty decent for a budget priced tablet.

3D turned out to be a completely worthless gimmick for TV. What's it going to do for a phone?

Like I mentioned earlier, it would make Face Unlock more secure and harder to fool with photos. I can also see it using eye tracking to let you scroll and swipe with your eyes. Other than that I agree it seems pretty gimicky. They almost have to have another angle on using the cameras to justify the cost and battery life. But I'm guessing they won't and you're right that this will be another underwhelming loss leader.
