In our earlier post today we spoke about a possible release of an iPod touch with a camera. A lot of people can’t wait for an iPod touch with camera and it seems Hitler can’t wait as well. In the video below he seems very angry with the fact the Apple released the 3rd generation iPod touch without a camera.
The latest rumors about the iPod touch say that there will be a new version next spring. This time WITH a camera. » iPod touch With Camera Next Year?
The iPhone production will be 20% higher then before due to the holiday season. This probably leads to a shortage of CMOS camera sensors from the manufacturer OmniVision Technologies.

It seems the most convincing proof of Apple planning a camera module in the 3rd Gen iPod touch, has been provided by a reader of MacRumor’s forum. The leaked iPod touch 3G images are compared with the pictures of the iFixit teardown.
New rumors have seen the light. After opening the iPod touch casing iFixit discovered that there is an empty space large enough to fit a camera just like the iPod nano.
With the Apple Media Event only a few days from now, more news about the event reach the main public. Since it’s 100% sure that new iPod Touch’s will be untroduced (and probably also new iPod nano’s and classics’), manufacturers try to go with the hype as well. Images of cases specially made for the new iPod’s have leaked. They show a hole on the back which indicates that the new iPod’s will have a camera on board.
