783301 2009-06-18 06:05:00 Hi there

I quit like the iPod touch, what with its MP3 player, decent sized screen, Video player, and WiFi, BUT it doesnt have a Camera.

Is there an alternative out there that includes a Camera?

While I dont need a built in phone yet.

Thanks

But it oozes appleness.

Actually I heard the creative Zen I think it's called might be a goer

The X-Fi does have wifi, not touchscreen but still very good

OP: AFAIK there are no "brand name" manufacturers that sell an MP4 player with a camera, but I've seen a few generic ones on TM. I'd be careful though...

You might be able to get the hardware but generally the firmware on these Chinese player is shocking. There's very little support or applications.

Buy the Touch.

Yeah I reckon buy the iPod Touch too. I've had one and it was great - I sold it as I hardly used it for the portable music and I needed the money at the time more than I needed the toy. If you use Outlook for calendar and contacts it is good as the Touch syncs with that.

As far as I can see the only serious competition for the iPod Touch have much smaller screens.
