did the touch get a regular camera at least? I don't see that... it sucks.

that's one of the big surprises of the announcement. no sign of a camera on the Touch.

I guess they didn't want to cannibalize sales of the iPhone or something. I was thinking maybe the camera model is delayed, but they already announced updates on the Touch models. I can't see them making another announcement with another set of new models for quite a while.

Zune HD doesn't have a camera either, so I guess they're still somewhat on par with the competition.
