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.

It's a little bit disappointing that there is no camera but more storage capacity makes up for it

ShadowBoltDashieNinjaWizard The back is the main used camera. I rarely used the front when I had an iPod.
I've never even touched the front camera, that's for like taking face shots that those Facebook people do ._. I hardly even use my camera on my iPhone anyway.
True, that's only good for selfpics.

Frog Why bother removing the camera when added more memory? What relationship do the two really have?
They got rid of the camera and had less memory, which doesn't make much sense, it seems like they want to have deluxe models and non deluxe.

Kiingyy Why would they bring something out with no rear camera? Surely it cannot be that expensive to put a camera in it. They should be adding things in, not taking things out.
It's not really that expensive, I don't see why they don't.

I use the back camera way more than the front. Some people buy the touch to take photos...
