iPod touch Is a camera in the iPod Touch likely?

[TSE]

Hi guys. This summer, I was about to buy an iPod touch as soon as the new ones came out. When they came out, I was excited. Not only did they give the volume controls and speakers everybody wanted, but they were much cheaper. I was about to buy one in October, until I realized that I also wanted a digital camera. I am going to Sweden my senior year of high school for the whole year, and would like to bring my MacBook Pro, a digital camera, a cell phone, and an iPod. I then decided that carrying a cell phone, digital camera, and an iPod seperate would be a huge PITA wherever I go. So I can wait another year for whatever is about to come out. I want your guys' opinions, do you think a camera in the iPod touch looks like it could happen? Is there any other MP3 players with a built in camera? The iPhone's camera quality isn't the best, so I don't think I want to store my memories on 2.1/3 megapixels.

I'd say that it's pretty unlikely. Additionally, if it were to happen, the quality would be dismal at best; not something that you'd want to record a year of memories on.

To the OP I'd say no, not likely, and I'd say thats good...a year in Sweden sounds like a great time, I'd think you'd need a full camera for that, to get some really great pictures It be nice to have the choice to take a few pics on the iPod touch if you were out and didn't have the main camera, but I doubt anything in the iPod touch will be a suitable replacement camera

I would definitely go for a standalone digital camera instead of one embedded in another device. The quality on all but the cheapest models will be worth the hassle of carrying an extra device.
