Does such a beast exist? I quite fancy getting back into things like the 365 Project (taking a photo every day) but really can't be arsed toting my SLR around. I have an iPod Touch, but not an iPhone, and that doesn't have a camera in it.

A small P&S that can BT to my Touch (yeah I know it's not enabled at present, but the forthcoming 0S3.0 release sorts that) would make life much easier.

OT: Is 3.0 really going to enable BT on the Touch??

Yup, albeit for a $10 charge :/ I'm hunting about for a jailbreak that might have enabled it as I type.

($10 for the touch, iPhones get it free)

I have a P&S with Bluetooth - the Kodak V610 which is a good camera but has always been very hard to track down. I got mine for £120 at Amazon about 18 months to 2 years ago rather than the £300 most places said but as I said it is fairly unavailable! Never seen another bluetooth camera.

Why do you need to put the photos on your iPod?

Does your phone have a memory card slot? If so then a camera with the same type of card could work. Just pop it in the phone and email it.

Which mobile phone do you use?

Any mileage in using that or replacing it with one with a better camera?

Be interested to hear why you want to Bluetooth to the Touch.

I have a PAYG phone, with no data plan. Just a bogstandard Nokia 6300 thing. No intention on changing that, it does what I need from a phone. I know it has a camera, but I'd prefer a little more control wink

With my Touch I can use wifi to upload.
