I just got my iPad2 (had a iPad from launch) and while I'm very happy with it, the camera (front facing) does bother me a little. It seems it's at a pretty weird angle. I need to hold the iPad almost perfect vertical to myself to get my picture in view to do facetime chats. It would feel more natural to be able to hold the iPad at a (very) slight angle but the way I need to hold it right now, I'm almost looking down at the screen from the top. Is this normal?

Yes, and I think it's really annoying.
 
Unfortunately it has to be that way, as you you need to be able to use it from any orientation. If it was how you want it, then other orientations would suffer from a messed up angle.

I dont think so, if they get it close enough to the glass, the angle isnt an issue.
