Apple announces 16GB iPod Touch - but with no rear camera
Notably, the 5MP rear camera, as seen on the 5th generation iPod Touch, available in 32 and 64GB capacities, is missing from the new iPod. The new device packs the same dual-core A5 processor, required for driving the high resolution display.
Apple have also omitted the "loop" lanyard hook as seen on the 32 and 64GB versions of the device, a useful feature that surely comes in handy with joggers and commuters alike. It is not yet clear why the company decided not to include it, given that the dimensions of the device are identical. The front-facing FaceTime HD camera is the same as on the higher-capacity models, squeezed into the 6.1mm-thin body.
The new 16GB iPod Touch is available to order now through Apple's online store - the company says it'll be on its way within 24 hours.

BulletsModz Eh, foolish in my opinion.
I guess they're running out of good ideas.
How is this foolish? This is cheap so the little kids who can't get iPhones get this.

Belkin might as well get the 4th gen, although the iPod Touch was originally made for music as they are trying to make people buy the 32gb/64gb so they get more $$$
Well if you get one with a higher capacity you can hold more music on it.

Why would they do that? Lots of people use the camera, Including me, or, before I got my iPhone.
Even though iPod's were from the beginning for music only, the camera is a great function, you don't have to carry along a camera and an iPod for music. So this is just dumb.
