I really hope you read what you have written because you might want to trim it a bit.
But if Apple plays this trick too often, people aren't going to buy anymore of their products, because they think they will be screwed again.
I'm really hoping you reconsider what you have written above because it places you in a marginal category. I don't often like being that blunt but my god are you so ignorant that you think it is reasonable to call this a trick? That really is a question I hope you will answer in this forum.
Every indication publically available and confirmed with the most recent pictures of the new Touches internals, indicates this was a last minute decision. The pics support the idea that production problems resulted in the camera being pulled after post production testing indicated problems.
Further this so called trick could easily have sunk lesser companies as it invalidates a great deal of engineering effort, marketing development and other support costs. This little problem will have likely cost Apple a big chunk of change.
I am planning on buying the new touch, and I know I don't have the right to complain, but sure as hell I will if they introduce an iPod touch with camera anytime soon.
Go ahead but don't expect any support what so ever from most of the forum members here. The evidence is as plain as day and if you can't deal with it that is totally your problem. If you can't see the future with respect to a camera in the Touch then take off your blinders.
Apple wants to keep their customers, and a bunch of complaining customers ain't helping...
Then ****! Your postings are complete garbage. For one you haven't even purchased the current model yet but you are complaining up front about one coming down the road with a camera in it. Frankly Apple doesn't need "customers" like you that are petty and immature. So go to MS and buy a Zune and see how well that is supported.
And I'm only talking about 'soon', which to me is before February.
Please go pound salt for a bit and clear your mind. It is obvious at this point the Touch was meant to have a camera. The best thing Apple can do is to get that feature into a production model as soon as possible. Ideally within a couple of months. The problem now is that people will be expecting that camera and a lot of sales will go on hold.
I'm not trying to sell the idea that one should wait for a camera built into the Touch here just that some will. Rather what I'm getting at is that you make a decision to buy based on info available at the time. It is clear now that iPhone had a camera destined for it's internals so buy smart and don't complain.
