Why No Camera On the New iPod Touch?

      by Wyatt Walter

Today Apple gave its iPod lineup a bit of a refresh with a new version of the iPhone firmware, iPod Touches with larger capacity and a slick new Nano with a camera. The iPod Nano looks pretty slick with its new camera, YouTube/Facebook publishing, and various other new fun features. So slick that I’m thinking that I want one and I don’t really get excited about devices all that much. Problem is, I’d like to run apps and have WiFi.. So I need a Touch.. doh!

I really don’t get it. As far as I understand, they were able to add the camera to the Nano without adding any width to the device. I’m sure there’s reasons that they can’t add the camera without adding width, but I’d gladly sacrifice a little bit of width if I gained a camera. Besides, the iPhone has it. Now Apple’s going to have to come up with some crazy chart like the Windows 7 product comparison chart to decide which model to buy..
