iPod touch, nano might get cameras

camera shud be in front of ipodtouch not the back..would be useful for videochats

I have no interest in a cell phone, but would like the rest of the iPhone to play with; which, of course, would be the iPod Touch, except they left out the camera -- a major use of such a device would be the odd snapshot when I see something neat or documentable and I don't have a "real" camera with me -- so I haven't been tempted. I've considered getting an iPhone and just not using the phone part, but you have to pay megabucks to AT&T (or on eBay to get a "non-AT&T" iPhone) anyway, so it just isn't worth it. If the next Touch gets a camera, I'll probably buy one; I don't need gigapixels or video, an iSight like my MacBook Pro has would be fine.

Having an iPod Touch with (a) a memory upgrade (64 Gig?) and a camera that supports video, would imho, give devices like the Flip a virtual boot to the head. :)

is this any surprise? the less difference in manufacturing between the 3G/s and the iPod Touch makes costs to manufacture it much lower. I for one welcome the oncoming camera. (and it's why I got a best buy 2yr replacement plan for my iPod that I got in may, mwahaha)

I think it was silly for Apple to make the iPod touch and iPhone so similar. I wish they kept the iPod with the click wheel instead of adding one with a touch screen. Now it's hard to distinguish the two. It's hard to even consider the iPod touch an iPod anymore. If it gets a camera, the ONLY different will be that the iPhone can make calls. Although I'm sure Apple will add that too T_T. I think it was nice when it was a nice iPod with a touch screen with Wi-Fi capabilities, but then they added Weather, Stocks, etc. then apps, and now it's just a cheap way to get the iPhone.

As was the case with the iPod touch second gen upgrade. I wouldn't be suprised if the third gen got a bigger upgrade than the 3GS. Because of the turnaround time for cell phone approval, iPhone hardware has to be finalized well ahead of time. Since the iPod touch doesn't have this problem, maybe they'll get even hire specs. Those 3.2 or 5 megapixel camera modules that apple was buying batches of perhaps?

I would love to see an iPod touch with everything the iPhone 3GS has, obviously without a cell radio. GPS and a camera would be sooo sweet!!

This is the one killer feature the touch is missing. Even if the camera didn't do video this would be great, particularly for those who want an iPhone but don't want a contract phone.

I just bought an iPod Touch 2G :(

I got the 3GS so my "old" 3G is essentially a Touch with a camera. Now if only the GPS capabilities of the 3G would still work without it being active as a phone. Now Maps only works with a WiFI connection. How is it that GPS units like Garmin work differently - no need for wifi or cell networks?
