well the iPhone went from a single volume rocker to two separate buttons, then the iPod touch got a camera and two separate volume buttons. now what I think is that apple is gonna release a software update like iOS 4.2 that will allow us to use those buttons to take a picture what u guys think?

Same. However, that option was removed by apple a few days after it was noticed.

Actually it probably means that there not going to add that feature if anything.
 
I was lucky enough to get Camera+ and it is very nice to use the volume button as the shutter switch. It's ridiculous to have to press the screen to take a pic. It ruin many photo ops for me.
 
I truly believe we will see a separate button to take pictures with.

Apple doesn't want a button to be used to do 2 things so I see them not messing with the volume buttons and so they are going to make a separate button.

Apple seems to really want a great camera on the iPhone so I can see them heading much further with allowing a physical button to take photos with if they want people to replace their pocket cameras.

Also Optical zoom might be seen in 3-5 years.
 
based on what your wishes and unfound rumors ?

oh hey how about reading the facts

by visiting the URL camplus://enablevolumesnap in Mobile Safari, one could make the volume buttons on the side of the iPhone instead act as a camera shutter button — something which Apple had already said was a no-no.

apple likes keeping things simple ( ipod nano with ZERO buttons)

the onscreen camera buttons works well enough

want more proof.. first iphone -> iphone 4 have the exact same buttons + layout

iPod nano has 3 buttons. Sleep/wake, volume up, volume down. Don't know where you got the idea that the nano has no buttons.

sorry I meant ipod shuffle

the point is that apple tries to push the minimalistic thing to the limit (and sometimes backtrack)

the iphone has a camera button already ( onscreen) i doubt we will ever see a camera shutter button on the iPhone
 
It seems that Apple has learned from their mistakes... and returned to the second-generation shuffle's design :p
