The iPod touch will not have a camera this year. I think everyone just thinks it "should" because they can't accept the fact that it simply "won't"
Get over it. The iPod touch will not have a camera this year. You'll have to wait until next fall.
I'm kinda disappointed that they didn't put GPS in the new iPod touch though, but then again, GPS works best when it can triangulate your position using cell towers first and then GPS kicks in after that.
Trust me, I have an iPhone 3G without a data connection and it cannot triangulate my position so GPS doesn't even work at all.
