iPod touch Camera on the Nano, but NO CAMERA on the Touch...

Kwats said:
Okay I'm seriously tired of seeing everyone on the forum cry like 6 month old babies when there bottle is taken away. So what if there is no camera The new one with a camera would have essentially been an iphone without cellular capabilitys and gps because everyones going to say that too. so i see why they didnt do it. If you don't want one for the spec bump and all you wanted for a camera...that means you were essentially going to spend 300$ on a camera then GO BUY A REGULAR CAMERA! You act like you can't keep ahold of your money tell me really is it such a burdan to have 300$ in your pocket right now?

To be completely honest, you have no clue! ...and your reasoning makes me think you lack any intelligence whatsoever!

....So, tell me, why they didn't add a camera Kwats?

Even If I am Wrong I'm still right on the fact that your crying for really no reason. Did a little what 3.2/3.5 mp Camera ruin your whole life while infact you probably have the same exact thing without a camera.

Crying is what you did at Prom Night there kiddo!

Do you have any intelligence to explain your unintelligent reasoning, or are you going to just be a troll who whines & complains?

Grow some... and add something to this forum instead of making yourself out to be a troll 😡

Your still avoiding the fact that your complaining over a 3.5 mp camera. I'm not complaining at all I've got my iphone 3g got my ipod touch 2g and i've got a cannon powershot too. I'm probably going to get the new touch for the 64gb cause I just needed a new ipod for MUSIC not just a camera. My reasoning is simple. I'm going to assume you have an ipod touch aready or you sold it for the new one otherwise you wouldn't be complaining, but besides your money you missed out on a camera and a mic? They include a headset with mic so your not even missing that. Tell me if you were going to spend 300 at the least to upgrade at this point For the camera and the mic Why not buy a regular camera. Or better yet a 1st gen iphone without contract off ebay for around the same price at 16gbs. Honestly I don't see the point of complaining when you have either of these options. Maybe if you can convey your argument in an intellegent way or explain why its such a big deal to you i would understand but i dont. I think that everyone forgets that the IPODs main function is still music no matter how it's changed over the years.
 
why you ask? because with a camera and mifi the touch becomes a way cooler product than iphone

Are you serious? You are the one who is 'whining and complaining'. Perhaps you should read your OP again.

Okay Thats your oppinion and i respect that but i dont see the point have 7 threads that essentually are just complaining. They Gave us a third gen. They didn't have to give us anything.
 
i was planning on selling my ipod touch 2g cuz of the camera on the ipod touch but i guess i can keep mine and jail break my ipod touch.

Well yeah,they are mostly for music but since they evolved, why should we expect less? They have so many options and Apple is adding about 5 new options every year(number random). Is this right with these abilities to continue to think that they are meant for music. They used to but not anymore. Since last year Apple is heading ipod touch mostly for gaming. So i would disagree with your opinion. 🙂

You are totally missing it Kwats. The iPod Touch is a multimedia player, not just an MP3 player.

There are a ton of reasons why the consumer and Apple would include a camera (w/video recording and a mic)...

...I wonder what the app store would gain from a camera in a Touch. 🙄 I wonder if the user would upload more video to youtube. 🙄 I wonder if the mic could be used as a recording device. 🙄 I wonder how much freakin' money Apple would make off the app store if the new Touch had a camera w/video recording and a mic. 🙄

I could go on & on...

Kwats...just think for once in your life! 😱

If you do not understand, I was commenting to Kwats!

If you want to know what I am trying to do... Reread my OP!

are you serious? 😡 I will reply back if you can answer my OP question - Does anyone understand where Apple is coming from?
 
I don't carry my Touch with me so I couldn't care less.

I just lost my Shuffle, so it looks like I'll be carrying a video camera around as of tomorrow.

I just wish it took stills too.
 
I too was disappointed as I was weighing my options between a new iPod touch or an iPhone 3Gs (when my contract runs out in December.) A camera would have kept me with iPod I think along with the new prices and capacities. Now, it looks like a 16GB iPhone for Christmas.
 
Count me as one who also finds it strange that Apple put a camera in the Nano and not the Touch. I don't understand it.
 
Can we burn the "ZOMG I WANTZ ITOUCH WITH 3G/UMTS/GPS/VIDEO CAMERA/COMPASS/CELLPHONE!!!" They fail to realize that Steve Jobs once said "The iPod touch is like training wheels for the iPhone" meaning that you can't have an iPod touch with one less feature (the actual phone) that the high end electronic aka the iPhone. By spreading out the features on all these different models it keeps sales up. Do you honestly think the nano would have made it with the iPod touch stomping all over it with all its greatness?
 
crackbookpro said:
...your explanation leaves me to believe you are guessing 🙄

have anything with substance?

I understand that this could grow the Nano market in sales, but any minor update to the Nano could grow the Nano sales market. Just including the FM Radio would help Nano Sales. The iPod Touch market will not grow because of this, and the app store will not grow. The app store would benefit tremendously, and be a huge plus if the Touch came with a camera w/video capabilities!

and Surely, what do you mean by "it's to bring the Nano closer to the same level"? ....what level? 😕

Bolding some of your comment doesn't make your comment more important. It's just annoying.

Adding the new features to the nano (don't forget the slightly larger screen) and not to the Touch will cause iPod customers to think twice before buying a Touch. Apple could sell way more nanos at its price-point than Touches at its price-point.

What I mean by "bringing the nano closer to the same level" is that by adding these premium features to the nano, it brings the nano's perceived value closer to that of the Touch's. It's not just a nano anymore- it's a nano.

As I said, the decision between buying a nano and a Touch just got a little harder to make.

Hell, when I visit the Apple Store, I'll actually go over to the nano and play with one, instead of walking right by and not even noticing it.

So, do you understand why the Nano has a video camera, and not the 3rd gen Touch?

Is it a 3rd gen Touch? Or is it a 2nd gen with more memory? Did anything else change that wasn't just a software update?

Edit: Apple is listing it as 2nd gen on the specs page.

Yes, because some people simply wish to spend less money.

Which do you think Apple makes more profit on: a $150 Nano or a $300 Touch? Why wouldn't Apple want people to buy up? And yes Apple decides to leave people in a quandary over whether to spend less money to get a feature they really want.

They popped in a new processor and a new hard drive. That's absolutely it.
 
Possible proof of future camera?

I know everyone has seen all of the cases out there that were made for the 'Ipod touch 3G'. I though that after today's disappointment, I'd look back at those fond memories. I looked at this site:
http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/07/06/another-ipod-touch-case-with-******-in-it/

What I found strange is that it seems like both the ipod touch and the nano cases are from the same source. Why, then, are the nano cases accurate to what was released and the ipod touch cases not? This is the closest thing to convincing I could get for the idea that there was a glitch and the cameras will come.

I guess the question is, when? I've been waiting since the 1G release for a capacity large enough (aka >64GB ) . Frankly, why do I care about a camera on my ipod? I don't use my phone's much and if I can't connect to the internet all the time anyway, then there isn't much upload value. All the same, if I knew for a fact that touches w/ cases are coming out, then I would definitely wait. I feel like I'm at a casino saying I can win just one more hand...

I am truly truly dissapointed, but at the same time I just saved myself some coin... 😉 I will not be getting any iPods now!!!

I see no reason why they would not include a camera on the top of the line iPod, and then include a camera on the Nano. 😕

I see no logical reason!!! I was ready to buy a new iPod Touch, but now have little incentive to purchase the 3rd Gen Touch 😡

Does anyone understand where Apple is coming from?

I totally agree with you!! I am truly truly dissapointed!!! 😡
I will not buy any iPod Touch either!! I'll definately wait to the camera!! 😡
BAD :apple:!!

Can the touch make phone calls without wifi?









that one major feature is what distinguishes the two in a major way not a camera,gps,compass,etc.
 
I can't tell you how disappointed I am with no camera on the Touch...I am SUPER bummed and WILL NOT be buying the new touch......it would make perfect sense to have a camera on the touch!!!😡
