New $229 iPod Touch loses rear camera, color options

Apple has quietly begun selling a new version of the iPod Touch today.

The classic 32GB iPod Touch costs $299 and the 64GB version is $399 -- making the new 16GB iPod Touch the cheapest version currently available, with a price tag of $229.

Meanwhile, Apple dropped the 16GB 3.5-inch Touch that it had been selling for $199.

Although the latest iPod Touch offers only half the storage, it features a 4-inch Retina display and is powered by a dual-core A5 processor.

I don't see the loss of any feature as being a benefit to me. I have no need to replace mine as of yet, but I really don't think this is a good thing.
