Camera Powered iPod – A Redundant Feature.
Jul 6, 2009 Featured Article, Gadgets
Apple’s recent response to the iPod market calls out for an additional feature in the device – A camera. It could be possible Apple may 
add a camera to its upcoming iPod model, though it remains a mystery. How the next generation of the iPod owners would react? In my opinion, there will be mix of reactions from the consumer side.
Will existing users pay the price for these devices to get the upgrade version with Camera? Why would you want a camera powered iPod in the first place when you are already carrying a phone with a camera (in most cases it’s true).
On the other side, you cannot label iPod as “just another MP3 player”, because most of us who owns iPod also use it to download applications, watching movies when you feel bored of listening to the music. I personally love the collections of applications in the App Store and its user experiences.
What people may worry is the size. Will it be thicker due to the camera integration? According to TechCrunch’s quote from a source in Asia “Apple has placed an order for a massive number of camera modules of the type that they include in the iPhone. These are inexpensive cameras, in the $10 range. And the size of the order, our source says, means they can only be used for one thing – the iPods.”
