Next iPod Touch with Camera???
What do you all think of Apple including a camera in the next version of the iPod Touch?
I'm hoping so. That would be so cool to be able to video conference with someone over wifi, or to upload pictures or movie clips to email.
Right now I don't want to get locked into a phone contract since I travel overseas ALOT...so the iphone isn't a choice for me at the moment.
I REALLY dig the ipod touch, even tho I already have a 60 gig ipod. I know the Touch doesn't have much storage space...but as a portable wifi web surfing unit, its ALOT easier to carry around than a laptop.
To me the inclusion of a basic isight camera would just make it that much cooler.
I'm not traveling until February, so I'll hold off getting a touch until then in the hopes they may update it during Macworld in January.

Since these forums are mostly about enjoying speculative (i.e., wishful) thinking, I am right there with you. I would LOVE a video iPod Touch. It would make me feel like Captain Kirk - standing in the middle of a field at my college, for example, talking to my mom on video. Crazy crazy world we're living in, that we could even ASK for such a device.
If Apple is willing to use things like a discreet volume button and microphone functionality on the headphone jack as product differentiators, it's hard to imagine that they would allow something like video chat to cross that line.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Apple will not offer video camera functionality on the Touch before the iPhone gets it, and probably not ever, or at least quite a while after.

Yes, Mr. Practical certainly has a point. But with all of the product endorsements William Shatner has been doing of late, it also makes sense that Apple would hire old Kirk to market their new iCommunicators.

Mr. Practical concedes to the logic of Mr. Intriguingly Deranged.
