I'm not complaining that the iPhone 3GS has only got a 3 megapixel camera, just correcting the error of the previous poster who said it had a 5 megapixel camera.
Got a tip for us?

Also, a crappy CCD, like the ones typically in phones, doesn't have the ability to take good images in various lighting conditions, especially low light.
I don't see why they need a camera for nano or classic... well classic has an exception but woot woot for touch!
hope this will come true!!!
it's time for me to save up again, since my iPod Touch broke on me... :/

The thing about megapixel ratings is that they're mostly irrelevant. It's all about glass and CCD size.
An 8.2 megapixel dSLR with a pro lens is going to take a much higher quality photo than a 15 megapixel point and shoot.
I think adding cameras to iPods is going to be a huge success. My 10 year old daughter has an iPod and loves it. She has a digital camera and takes pics all the time. So adding a camera to the iPod is a no brainer.
I agree with previous posts, if they add video to the Nano, they will sell tons of them!

You may not want one, but some people still do. Hard Drives are still the only cheap way to go above 100 GBs.
It sounds like it is going to be the same as the 3gs. Why would Apple not enable that? It will have video.
this is weird, cameras have no place on the nanos or classics. I own an ipod classic and its awesome, I don't even need that much storage for music. I fill it up with movies and tv shows.
I totally agree. I already have a digital camera plus the camera on my iphone 3G. I don't need a zillion cameras popping up everywhere on everything. If they were to change the classic in anyway I would suggest maybe some new color choices then a slight price drop. That would be fine.
And regarding the ipod touch getting a gps, I don't think that is really plausible seeing as its used as a means of navigating while on the road or whatever. But, if your on a freeway- there isn't wifi all around to support the gps with an actual map. So, you might have latitude longitude but you wouldn't really know where the hell you are.
I'm guessing the cameras are going to have more to do with the rumored social networking functionality of iTunes 9 than anything else.
And to maintain Apple's price points with the falling prices of physical hard drives.
Hmmmm - are the Nanos flash-based or hard drive based? I can't seem to remember...
i would buy a nano if they had a 64 gb or 128, but with 32gb i can't, because i have more than 8,000 songs and its growing by day.
I don't believe anything from DigiTimes and cannot believe the Classic will be getting a camera.
While a 64GB device would hold all my music at 256bps it would leave little room for photos, podcasts or apps. So it looks like I may be waiting yet another year before getting a touch.
For those with even larger music collections I really hope the Classic stays in the lineup. It's going to be a long time before the nano reaches 128GB.

Do you like fingerprint streaks on your screens, or is there something bad about oleophobic coatings that I don't know?
Rats!!!
Please leave the Nano alone!!!! I just want to be able to buy one with a bigger capacity and not have to sacrifice or pay more for a lousy 3 MP camera.
Why does EVERYTHING have to be a swiss army knife?

(Sorry, had to say it...)

At least you can still buy a Swiss Army Knife without a camera

What is so special about a camera on an iPod? I don't know, maybe its just me.
Oh, but I do want a 10MP camera on the
TV.

The iPod lineup is dying and need to reinvent itself. Either come up with a gimick or watch it die like the discman.
I think eventually we will see only the iPod Touch in various sizes and features like what Archos is doing.
