Next iPod Touch gets a camera? - From MacRumors


The rumblings from MacRumors and Techcruch bring to light that the next model of the iPod Touch and perhaps the Nano would get a camera.


"The rumor that the iPod Touch would get a camera first appeared in May from HardMac. The rumor, however, now makes more sense since the introduction of the iPhone 3GS which features video as a major new feature. When Apple does update the new iPod Touch, it seems likely that they will also upgrade the device to the more powerful processor and graphics chips that were introduced in the iPhone 3GS."

I think it makes sense that Apple would need to keep doling out features like this to keep interest maintained in the iPod lines. Now that the iPhone has pretty much blown up, the fear that the Touch might cannibalize interest in the iPhone, due to it's features without a commitment to a phone carrier could be pretty much put to bed.

This also would be a big deal for folks like me who are locked into another carrier, but would love to have a camera that does better pictures and video in the device we carry around (along with our other phone).
