The 16G IPOD catalog entry should have in bold THIS THING HAS ONLY ONE CAMERA. I bought one for my dad thinking it was same as the last one i bought. my fault, but also theirs.

Question

I just ordered a new 16G iPod touch for my dad.  the bigger models said they had an hd camera, so i assumed this one did not BUT AT LEAST HAD A REAR FACING CAMERA.
So it arrives and he says it only has one camera and I say of course it has two cameras.
it turns out just a front-facing camera (so i guess thats what Facetime camera meant).
so now he wants to return it
be careful ordering. my fault, but also theirs.  it's like selling a car without a windshield.  their should be a giant sign that says, this thing has only one windshield

Answer 1

Disagree for three reasons:
1) this is a KEY feature that was removed from prior models.  removing something that cutomers depend upon requires more than burying in a cryptic spec.
2) even spec does not use clear generic terms like "front-facing camera" "rear-facing camera" or "has one camera" - instead it used Apple-terms like Facetime camera and isite camera, which on a casual glance appears like just upgrade/downgrade camera version.  16g model says facetime camera, and cell next to it it says isite camera (instead of also showing both models have facetime camera on the same row) and that's not a proper comparison grid, comparing  apples to apples, so to speak...
3) you presume every person that orders finds this page (which i contend is not clear).  i don't want to spend an hour learning what apple-jargon translates to "this model has only  one camera"
No reply needed.  Just posting for awareness.  I am guessing there will be more dissatisfaction and returns for this product, so just giving you feedback.
