iPod Touch4 Replacing/Upgrading the Camera

History

This question is archived. No new answers are allowed, and only the question's owner may edit it.

I know it would be difficult to replace the rear camera with an iPhone4 camera. My question is how difficult would it be to replace the Touch camera with an iPhone 3GS camera? What is the difference in dimensions and the space requirement for the auto-focus.

I actually would be curious to know if it is at all possible to modify the hardware for any of the ipod touch - more specifically to the first and second generation.

If it is possible, how could it be done from the hardware aspects to the programming aspects.

I am just mainly curious as to this because I always knew Apple would eventually come out with an Itouch with camera, as if you were to look at the back of the first and second generation, there is this black piece in the top left corner that serves no purpose. I am just curious as to what is behind that piece.. I don't want to actually remove my self, wonder if anyone has done it them self.

Not without heavy modding. That was specifically mentioned in the teardown article and why I'm interested in knowing the 3GS camera dimensions.

If this was possible with the iPhone 4 camera, you would have to mod it because the iPod touch 4's camera is linked with the mic.
