The rumors of an iPod touch with the camera are back. Just a couple of months after being disappointed by Apple which bumped up the Nano with a camera but left the iPod touch in the cold to conquer your hearts with just its improved gaming capabilities (though I am happy having predicted that right!),we hear that Apple is now certain to launch the camera version of touch in Spring 2010. And this comes with its own share of disappointment, saying that the camera wouldn’t even be as good as the one in iPod nano 5G.
The rumor is supported by another rumor which read that a sensor flaw had pushed out the camera from the iPod touch 3G, and Apple wants to ship it out asap. A tear down of the iPod touch 3G revealed that Apple has room for a camera on its back, but the area has been left empty. Perhaps Apple did play with prototypes of an iPod touch with the camera, but launched it without a camera to nurture the iPhone’s market share.
Update: iPad camera rumors rise
