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.

Gossip I use the back camera more than I use the front...
But you need the front for Facetime, so they needed to keep that feature, and more people who are buying the touches are taking more self photos then anything else.

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.

oHES Use the front camera but turn the ipod around :P
Yeah but that will look so weird. You have to turn your phone around and then press the screen to take a photo. I think it would just look weird seeing someone holding their phone and turning it around just to take a photo.

Kinda stupid how they wouldn't put a camera on the back. Suppose it'd cost less for them as well, but they wont bring the price down.

This seems very stupid. I would much rather have a back camera then a front one. Also I am glad they went without the lanyard on this one, on the 32GB and 64GB, it was just an eye sore.
