Yeh the matte iPhone was pretty much a given too when rumours were circulating.

Rather than waste time with gimmicks like this Apple should include useful features like a radio. Of course, that would undermine your argument because the Zune already has one of those.

Although i do agree with you that the next iteration of iPod Touch will outdo the Zune HD, it was never two steps behind. The current Zunes are EXCELLENT competitors to the iPod range. The Zune HD is an excellent competitor to the current iPod Touch. If only Microsoft spent some serious cash on marketing and released them internationally. Microsoft have only ever been half a step behind. iRiver, Creative, Archos and Sony are the ones that have really let themselves down lately, producing incredibly poor run of the mill stuff.]]>Jul 6th 2009 7:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/Jul 6th 2009 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/Jul 6th 2009 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/Jul 6th 2009 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/Jul 6th 2009 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/if you cant improve the sound quality on the ipod, lets distract people with lights, cameras, and all the junk you can stuff in there. people will never ever notice.]]>Jul 6th 2009 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/
Besides, the ZuneHD is looking like it will have great support for games.

That said. I don't have a fancy phone. One of the reasons I'll be buying the touch is because I don't want the high priced data plan of a fancy internet phone like an iphone. But I would still love to have that kind of camera experience that an iphone would give with the multitouch and the large screen.

Yes there might be better cameras in other phones. So what! I don't have one of those phones. Chances are if you do, you probably aren't going to be buying a touch or a nano anyway because your phone does everything they do already. ]]>Jul 6th 2009 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/Jul 6th 2009 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/Jul 6th 2009 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/

Camera+iPod =/= on the go uploading

Which is a main selling point of cameras on phones.
Using WiFi is not a good substitution because you're not always around WiFi.
I just don't see how this could have real world applications...
Not to say it wont sell, because people will buy anything...
But I just dont see it...]]>Jul 6th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/
Really, a slightly bigger form factor i-pod touch would be the first Apple item I would own.

Audio Quality.

The iPod not only comes with TERRIBLE earphones (which are surprisingly(!) overpriced) but even worse the actual audio output just plain sucks. Not to mention no custom EQ and crappy presets. Oh and the distortion they make.]]>Jul 6th 2009 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/Now.. I wonder who wants to have a camera if this is the same camera of the iPhone. I´m not sure how Apple managed to do it but the iPhone sports atm the worst camera of all mobiles around. It´s almost emberassing to even take picture with it (yes numbers show different, though the quality still is horrible).
Nah... I would prefer an iPod with for example a radio tuner or some proper support without the iTunes, but then Jobs knows what´s good for me...]]>Jul 6th 2009 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/Jul 6th 2009 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/Jul 6th 2009 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/Jul 6th 2009 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/
Anyway, if your niece really wants to play games she'd probably be better off with something like a DS that does handheld games properly.]]>Jul 6th 2009 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/
No. I'm a commoner from England actually. The 'majority of people don't care' because that is the only audio quality they have experienced from a PMP.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the 5th gen nano/3rd gen touch DO get a camera. Now everyone will start using them to upload low quality pics of themselves to social networking sites (i.e. Facebook, myspace...for those who still use it)....just like iPhone users do.
Honestly, I have a Sansa Fuze, and I'm very happy with it. The only way Sandisk could make me like it more is if:
1)They revamped the ~3 year old OS(OR someone could make a rockbox port)
2)Allow a firmware update(which Sandisk usually has) that allows gapless playback
3)Allow a folder browsing function.
If it had all these, it'd be PERFECT for me.
Oh yea, one thing the Fuze does that Apple would NEVER do....expandable storage. The Fuze does it via a micro-sd card slot. This would hypothetically work on an iPod, BUT they don't....because they can make something with another 8gb or 16gb every year, and capitalize off the people who have to have the newest thing(even if it's only a storage bump) year after year.]]>Jul 6th 2009 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/
No, you just HEAVILY IMPLY IT whenever you can on engadget.]]>Jul 6th 2009 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/
Of course, in this case (DS vs. Touch for games) you'd be getting her something better, not cheaper so that makes a big difference. The latest version even includes a camera and a PMP so you'd have those areas covered whilst giving her a gadget that could play cool games really well. I'm sure she'd love it as do most kids her age.

Anyway, if she's really into games it seems a bit cruel to buy her an iPod Touch given the lack of good quality games and useful controls. Are you sure she understands what she wants?

Come back in September when there should be some concrete details to discuss...]]>Jul 6th 2009 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/evidence-mounts-for-ipods-with-cameras/ - poor sound quality
- poor camera
- zunehd
- people really do want FM radio

I don't think the sound quality is that bad, I agree the headphones are not great
but the reason they are not top quality is that it would increase the price too much.
If you want AWESOME headphones buy them but don't expect them to bundle great cans into each ipod.

the old camera was not so great, the NEW camera that is being discussed in this tech article that was scooped on techcrunch is the awesome camera in the new 3GS. it is good and I'm not sure of commenters are confused or just being haters.

ZuneHD won't work on Mac so I'm out.... I think it's a great looking gadget but if it wont work with my macbook, then I'm out. it's simple.

and lastly the FM radio a few years ago I wanted an FM radio, but now Podcasts have really filled in and I can get lots of talk radio to help fill in when I don't want music. Have you heard commercial radio lately? it's terrible... they keep screwing over their best talent like Adam Carolla. So I'm sticking with Adam and I get his podcast and I haven't been missing FM radio at all.

I'd like to see the new ipods get the advanced camera in them
surprised to see soo much criticism. the craziest one for me is the wish for FM radio because I think FM radio sucks now. (I'm in NY btw)]]>Jul 6th 2009 8:44AM
