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

If I wanted an Iphone I would get one. I don't want an Iphone. Everyone stop saying get an iphone. I like the Ipod touch because it's not a phone.

Dino, people say it all the time. It's ridiculous, and some do not understand - they just want to raise an issue that is really never there. I just let it go... the people who say that usually have previous posts that are ridiculous as the one you see - It is not worth your time...

Altogether, I agree with you, but the people shouting 'get an iPhone' will never stop.

I doubt that will happen. Or else apple would have shown the prototype and stated that the 3rd gen touch (with camera) would be ready by oct or nov. I think it was a strategic move to spur nano sales.

I want to believe though that apple had manufacturing problems and in two months we'll see ipod touches with cameras and a 16gb at $200.

I recently lost my 16 GB 1st Gen. iTouch to a video issue; so I am patiently waiting for the new iTouch 3g to hit the store shelves.

As an upgrade from my 1st Gen. the new 3g has a whole lot to offer.

I am not one for wanting to purchase a new iPod every year - A camera would have been a nice addition, but it isn't something I have really been missing either.

I'm more interested in having my iPod last a good 3 or more years. Lesson learned, I will be spending a the extra $ and getting Apple Care this time around.

Suck it up and buy an iPhone and stop asking for features that aren't going to happen.

Not everyone needs the phone part. What if your work gives a you blackberry that's already paid for but you still want the itouch features? Just get the iphone is not the answer.

I agree with you. It may indeed be a strategic move to get consumers to buy iPod Nano's. ...then at a later date, they will release the camera w/video & a mic. So, they basically get a ton of users who buy both (this it totally my assumption...I could be wrong).

I really believe this feature of camera/video/mic has to come to the Touch. It is a want an, a oppurtunity to add income to the app store. Steve Jobs' recent response means nothing to me. He claims the Touch users did not want the "feature." He is known for doing things of this nature - I truly think this is to spark Nano sales since, on the whole, they were declining in their sales percentages.

Companies love it when employees use their company Blackberries for personal calls and emails.

I would like to hear a side from one of the iPod Touch 3rd gen case manufacturers about this... I am kind of surprised there has not been any public messages about the circumstance

It may be production issues. But, who really knows...
