The current iPod touch has only a very low res, low quality camera (I think VGA or maybe a bit better, in any case less than 1 MP) without even autofocus. It would be nice if someone could try it with an iPhone to see if it fares better.

Right. Wikipedia says: 0.7MP fixed-focus camera with HD video capture (720p at 30fps) with 960 x 720 resolution still images

I believe the iPhone 3GS/4's autofocus makes a huge difference in clarity for close-ups.
