Hi all,
This week's poll question is about the recently announced iPod Touch that lacks a camera. Discuss here what you think about this move, and, if you like, the poll results themselves.
Thanks!
Justin

"Not if it would raise the price"
Meaning "Not if it would decrease profits 20 bucks"?
Not a good move apple.

Interesting. Guess they didn't want to canabalize the iPhone with the built-in camera. Perhaps Apple's reasoning was that their target market would be carrying two devices anyway if they purchased the iPod Touch since this wasn't a phone and most people have built-in cameras on their phones. Time will tell if this was a bad decision.

The new Steve Jobs (with someone else liver) has a reason for it - you don't want it and everybody is miserly with money. Quoted:
People don't want a camera on their iPod touch. They just want a cheaper iPod touch, as a game machine, no cameras involved.

Bullshirt...people want the best bang for the buck. The iPod Touch sure ain't that.

re: Don't know, can't afford an iPod.
I just got a free iPod Touch.
All I had to do was buy a $1,700 MacBook Pro and send my daughter off to college.
Such a deal!

Hmmmmm gonna have to check into that. I have two I need to send to college or just somewhere other than here. Maybe I can buy a few coloring books and send them to trade school?

"Thank you for visiting the Apple Store.
The “Buy a Mac for college, and get a free iPod touch” promotion is no longer available.
But if you’re a college student or a teacher or faculty member at any grade level, you qualify for education pricing on Mac computers and software all year round."

Now what am I going to do with these coloring books?
