DISQUS

What's weird is the higher gig iPod Touches include a headset and mic but not the 8GB.
But, don't you find it weird that the Nano only does video and not still images? I mean something is better than nothing, right?

But we don't know if they make more profit from an iphone vs an ipod touch. Why be stuck with a device on the poor performing AT&T network (see recent press) when you can sell more ipods? Furthermore, how many people will now buy the Flip Ultra HD video recorder because of no camera on the ipod touch? Bad move IMO.

I don't think they would lose money, In fact I think they would make more money for all the people who are not on ATT, or People like me who want an iPod touch with a camera. Not having a cell card in the iPod touch gives me a little longer battery life and I'd rather jog with an IPT then my iphone around my arm. I don't care all that much since i still have my iPhone with me at all times.

According to my source at Apple, it was not about the money. Maybe it was just not ready due to some hardware issues. I don't think they are worried about people using the iPod Touch as an iPhone as good as skype is. I'm not going to pull over and find a starbucks to make a phone call.

What really pisses me off is that they decided to go ahead and stick a cam with no still on the nano, you can't wifi the video to any service you have to have the usb cable with you and your computer - to make it worse they compared it to a Flip, at least flip is not shooting at 640x480. regardless i'm waiting on the UPS truck to drop mine off at the door in green... I wanted the FM radio for the gym in the morning :)

Much love brother Jeff I like the way you think, And thanks for the comment space to let me rant !
