You have a different name then the post I was referring to. How many names do you have? I am not looking for a camera that can take pictures or take videos I am looking for a camera a pure camera

There are no such things today. Why?

It's pretty simple. To add video to a digital camera is just a sprinkle of software.

Why not get what you want and not use that feature?

I just saw a post about the iPod Touch that it can be used as a phone. do you know if the iPod Touch can be used as a phone? As far as a camera and a HD video, do you have any idea how it does as a camera?

As a phone

I think you have heard/read about Skype on the iPod touch. But going out on a limb here you might have read another HACK Here's a link about that. http://lifehacker.com/378511/turn-your-ipod-touch-into-an-iphone

Sorry but I'd stick to Skype.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/07/ipod-touch-review-2010/ and others tell me I'd rather have the phone for the better camera. But it will do in a pinch but time to keep shopping cameras.

As to 3G 4G I think you would have to reveal what model this is. I used a Mifi 3g, 4g with so many things that I lost count. A pod is not a phone.

I wrote 'right' instead of 'write.' Someone please wipe the egg off my face.
