> the CDD requires that in order to be compatible, all phones must have a camera.
That FAQ seems to be outdated. Take a look at the current CDD (https://source.android.com/compatibility/4.1/android-4.1-...):
> Device implementations SHOULD include a rear-facing camera, and MAY include a front-facing camera.
That is a SHOULD, not a MUST.

Improving Ubuntu's application upload process Posted Sep 8, 2012 18:17 UTC (Sat) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link] Yes, the requirements changed with Android 2.3. This is when MUST was replaced with SHOULD WRT camera. But I'm not talking about sepcifics here, I'm talking about the fact that to get Google Play you need to satisfy pretty long and detailed list of requirements. Want to create something new and exciting? Feel free: Android is FOSS, after all! Want to get hundreds of thousands applications and, perhaps, small percentage of sales (not sure if Google actually does this or not but this is logic approach)? Talk with Google first and see if they'll be interested in your creation enough to alter the CDD.
