If the rumors are to be believed, Apple will be releasing an overhauled version of the popular iPod digital music player that will include basic digital camera and digital video capabilities.
Such a move from Apple wouldn't be a huge surprise; after all, Apple's iPhone now has basic digital imaging capabilities, similar to many cell phones. With more cell phones including digital music playing capabilities, Apple needs to add features to the next generation of the iPod to set it apart.
Obviously, such basic imaging technologies won't appeal to those desiring serious photography equipment. But, for a quick snapshot that someone wants to share on the Web, an iPod digital camera should do the trick.
The rumors only discuss the likelihood of changes to the iPod; the rumors do not specify a particular date that the new iPods may appear in the market.
