why ipod touch doesnt have a camera?

Many of the Ipod Touch users and the people planning to buy the new ipod touch wonder why it doesnt have a camera whereas ipod nano has got one. The reason for this has been given by apple ceo steve jobs and that is inorder to reduce the price of ipod touch and maintaining the flow of device as an ipod and a gaming maching it did not introduce camera in ipod touch new versions. The original words of steve jobs are "Originally, we weren't exactly sure how to market the Touch. Was it an iPhone without the phone? Was it a pocket computer? What happened was, what customers told us was, they started to see it as a game machine. Because a lot of the games were free on the store. Customers started to tell us, "You don't know what you've got here - it's a great game machine, with the multitouch screen, the accelerometer, and so on."

Hence the conclusion is that apple people want Ipod touch to be a gaming device and they are more focusing on reducing its price rather than adding additional features and increasing its price and loosing customers.
