Watching CBS Sunday Morning this morning, I saw the host conducting a web conference on an Apple Device I did not recognize. It looks iPad-esque, but the camera is on the "side" instead of the "top" (when viewed from an iPad standpoint). And there is an Apple Logo (although I suppose that could be a sticker). Any thoughts?

It's an Apple Cinema or Thunderbolt Display.
 
You can tell it's the 24-inch LED cinema display (2008-2010) from the aluminium frame around the front. On later models the glass goes all the way to the edge.

They never looked like that. The metal band around the edge is way too thick for a Cinema or Thunderbolt Display.

Best guess is it's a knockoff product.

The glass was not edge to edge on those displays. I suspect it's just a byproduct of the lighting highlighting the silver edge.
 
If you look closely you can see that the backlight in that display is larger than the image it's displaying. Those borders are a trick of the image on the display being too small to fill the screen. The metal border looks like the right dimensions relative to the screen to be an LED Cinema Display.
