This is a useful default (probably for everything apart from photo shooting apps), and will hopefully land in OTA-11 for real.
Pat, Olivier: The feature that offers control over which camera an app should use may not need to be hidden inside the browser's settings menu, buried three levels deep in a hierarchy as now. The alternative to a browser "Settings" menu option is of course the "camera" icon in the address bar, as desktop browsers do it. Firefox also has an overlay in the middle of the top edge of the page, in addition. This is something that could appear (and fade away) in both the webbrowser-app and the webapp-container. Maybe. Or something that appears when swiping in with a gesture from one of the edges (bottom edge)? Alexandre: For what I see appear.in does not handle switching cameras via app logic on the mobile web interface. Only native apps seem to do. (Their FAQ even specifically notes a similar problem with Windows Surface tablets. See "I have a Microsoft Surface and it only shows the back camera.
