i wouldn't care even if it did have a camera

it's already reasonably priced..
When i mention 'camera' I mean explicity, a 'front-facing' camera
so that its capable of video-chat and video-blogging without any 3rd party accessoriesthis small addition is definitely coming, but we can speed up it's arrival if we concertedly declare not to purchase one until it comes with a camera...
- yes, because QBN has that kind of influence...jesus f'ing christmonospaced

If you want a camera, buy an iPod, iPhone or nano to go with it.

^ good point!
virtually every other Apple device has a camera.This doesn't?
I must be missing something.- the apple cameras are garbage, so im not sure why anyone wants more of that..e-pill

how unnatural and awkward would it have been trying to hold it and snap a photo. imagine holding a cinderblock up and snapping a pic. i bet that's why there's no camera. you'd look like an utter douche taking photos.

- it's on cell phones and other camerasversion3
- cell phones fit in my hand. ipad fits in my handS. cameras are ergonomically designed for your hand. so on and so forth.sigg
- my MacBook sits on my lap or tabletop. it has a camera. I don't ever feel awkward when I use it either.********
- you hold your macbook up to take pictures of people? good for you.sigg
- who said that? you must be imagining things again..********

Steve Jobs just heard about your boycott, fx. He's quite concerned, maybe you could reconsider?

fx, considering the way the the iPad means to be hold, people who you're video chatting with would at best see the ceiling of your room, or in the worst case, your face in low angle shot....

I think it is pretty cool, I'd like one. Not sure I will get one but it is a great alternative to a netbook. If I do get it, I won't get a data plan. That thing would probably never leave my house and I already pat AT&T enough.
It is pretty funny how pumped people get about Apple products. All of the hype wasn't generated by Apple, it was generated by bloggers. A camera would have been cool for video conferencing over the skype app, but knowing Apple they deliberately held it back so they can add it next year.
All of the talk about it being a revolutionary device is pretty funny too. Dude, it is a massive iPod touch.
