I, like many others, was pretty bummed when the rumors about the flaw in the upcoming iPod touch camera prevented it from being produced this year. But time has passed, and apparently Apple is pretty close to fixing those issues. They may be ready to launch the iPod touch with camera in the spring. It’s still unknown whether this upgrade would include a 2 megapixel camera like the iPod nano or will have a nicer iPhone 3GS like camera.
It’s almost comical if you’ve seen one of these iPod touch cases that has “convenient access for camera” in the stores. I saw this one about two weeks ago and had a good chuckle. I think it’s pretty obvious that Apple will be releasing an upgraded iPod touch with a camera on it, it’s really just a matter of time.

I've been e mailing Apple every week or two since the iPod Touch came out, begging for not one but two cameras to make the Touch an effective tool for internet browsing and socializing; an iSight camera in the screen to interface with friends and business associates as well as a camera on the back, like the iPhone has, for documenting events as the happen. I'm half happy to hear that they're finally going to come halfway to meeting those criteria.
