There's an empty camera-sized space in the new iPod Touch:

I read that apparently the lack of camera is due to Apple wanting to focus the iPod Touch as more of a gaming machine in their lineup and want to keep the costs down, thus not adding a camera.

but i quite liked the idea of a game where it uses the camera to add zombies into the picture so you can look a total ponse walking down the street shooting imaginary zombies. The big boss at the end is a man in a mask with a knife trying to rob you, problem is hes on the screen and in real life.

The new Ipod touch apparently has hardware that support FM radio and wireless n but as yet isnt supported. There is also room in ipod touch for a camera but for some reason they didnt implement one

Step 14

• Broadcom BCM4329FKUBG wireless chip.
• According to Broadcom, the BCM4329 supports 802.11n!
• This is a big deal, as even the iPhone 3GS doesn't support 802.11n. The iPhone 3GS has a BCM4325 wireless chip, which only supports 802.11 a/b/g. We don't know yet if 802.11n will be supported in software, but at least the hardware's there.
• There's also Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and a FM receiver and transmitter packed into this chip. If they built in the antennas, and if Apple adds software support, you could theoretically stream music to your car stereo without any external hardware. But that's a lot of ifs.
