Apple To Add Video Cameras to iPod Touch and Nano?
Barron's Blogs ^ | 07-06-09 | Eric Savitz

Is Apple (AAPL) planning to include video cameras in the next versions of the iPod Touch and iPod Nano?

TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington floated that theory this morning, asserting that according to “one of our sources in Asia,” Apple has placed an order for “a massive number of camera modules” of the type used in the iPhone 3GS. He says that judging by the size of the order, the cameras can only be for one thing: iPods. The post asserts that the order is so large that camera will be added to the Nano as well as the Touch.

AWESOME, I can’t wait for the new Ipod Touch to be released, and I hope it has a camera, and I want it to come in different colors too, ya know how the Iphone is either black in the back or white, that is the option I want for the Ipod Touch. I already sold my Ipod Touch 1st Gen, when the new Ipod Touch is released, I hope it can be easily jailbroken

What I can’t figure out is what your obsession is with Apple, since you have stated that you would never get anything “Apple”...

It just seems kinda weird, doncha know... LOL...

[ I mean, I know why someone who uses Apple products would post about it, it’s obvious... but someone who hates Apple...? ... ummmm.., just don’t know...]

I never said I hate Apple, I own an iPod myself. We will leave it at that, thanks.

Swirdmaker's logic Blue Highway is being critical of Apple + Blue Highway actually owns an Apple product = Blue Highway is a Mac basher!@!!! with Apple Derangement Syndrome, that has nightmares about Steve Jobs and the thousands of Mac Geniuses worldwide.

It must be something important here, since it’s all in bold..., but for the heck of it, I sure can’t figure out what’s important... :-)

Just got a call from someone trying to help a parent with a Mac problem. It’s been running trouble-free since they got it, but the disk drive is starting to act up lately. It’s a fourteen-year old Mac.

I suggested they shop for a used Mac on eBay, but the prices for used ones are about the same as new ones there. It’s almost ridiculous how much better Macs hold their resale values compared to the disposable Windows junk.

Parting out PCs has never really been a problem to retain the value you invest in it.

Sorry I don’t do drugs. BTW thanks for the Mac Attack. I think Swordmaker said he is keeping track.

It should have read:

Swordmaker's logic

Blue being critical of Apple + Blue actually owning an Apple product = Blue is a Mac basher!!!!

Well..., it’s like I said earlier... if you constantly post articles which have been shown to be written by ignorant authors and the facts have been posted here that corrects these ignorant authors — and yet — you continue to choose these kinds of articles, in addition to exhibiting your own misunderstanding of “Macintosh” and Apple products — it seems to me that this is the category that you fit into...

It may be a “simple-minded viewpoint” that says if you constantly post Apple bashing articles by ignorant authors — that you’re an Apple basher, but that’s the kind of simple-minded viewpoint” that I have... LOL...

So this thread is written by an ignorant author? I fail to see anything written in this article that qualifies as ignorant.
