I've had a second thought about this that I wanted to follow up on.
i.e. Does it really have anything to do with the camera companies?
My reasoning:
Connecting a digital camera to a computer via Firewire will transfer the photos via iPhoto. There is no special camera software - it's just a matter of having the appropriate drivers present in OS X.
So, why can't the iPod just pretend that it's iPhoto and get the pictures off the camera in the same way?
We already know the iPod can download pictures via the Belkin card reader. Why is the Belkin card reader special? (compared a direct connection to the camera)
