AppleInsider is reiterating that the iPod touch will eventually receive the video recording camera that adorned the iPod nano at yesterday’s special event.

Notably missing from yesterday’s announcements was any form of significant upgrade to Apple’s flagship iPod, despite rumours before hand that production issues could delay an iPod touch with camera.

AppleInsider publishes that the iPod touch models failed quality assurance testing at Apple due to a batch of poor camera sensors, Apple reportedly “remains committed to delivering camera capabilities on the touch lineup as soon as possible.”

The news comes after Apple CEO Steve Jobs stated that the iPod touch was being marketed as a gaming iPod and the decision to leave out the camera was a financial one.
