Q.Will there be a break in new products as a result of your absence?

A.There were a lot of things that were started before I left, and were continually worked on … and there are some things that I’m focusing a lot of attention on right now. To polish. No, I don’t think we’re going to miss a beat. We have some really good stuff coming up

IMO this definitely confirms the rumors of that other touch device Steve Jobs has been working on.

I don't know if it confirms the tablet, although that makes sense. I mean he could be working on the 30" Display...haha, if only.

Interesting ...

- The Touch gets people to use the App Store

I thought Touch users were cheapskates based on the sales data ... but I guess they make up for it in volume.

- The price needed to be $199

Remember, the iPhone is subsidized with 2 yr contract.

I'm speculating here, but maybe in addition to the rumored manufacturing problems this is the reason why the camera is not there. Also, I couldn't see why they couldn't just modify the plastic upper left corner in the current 2G backs and stick the camera in there. When I saw the prototype pics on the front page I thought "yuck".

Maybe Jobs killed the current incarnation of the camera Touch because the back looked like a turd. You heard it here first

You are right
