... hole. Although TechCrunch claims that enough of the camera sensors have been ordered for every single iPod model save the Shuffle, it would make more sense just to have camera technology in the Touch. Imagine just how many people would want to buy one of those. As well as having your music, apps and games in one device, you've also got a camera that allows you to edit and upload — just like the guy above, who dropped his iPhone 3GS in the pool.

Take a look at the back of your iPod touch - there’s a Wi-Fi antenna on the left side so the only place they could stuff a camera would be in the center, next to the antenna.

In short: your iPod Touch will soon take video and pictures. This will destroy the casual video ...
