umm your itunes and what appears in the 'my computer' should be completely seperate, I have a "iphone camera" in 'my computer' but it also appears in as a itunes device fine.
BUT if your sure that "I need to convince my PC that the is sodding Pod isn't a camera first", you need to go into device manager:
Bearing in mind I'm on a XP machine, it is slightly different on Vista/Win 7:
Right click "My computer" Select "properties", from the tab choose "Hardware" then got "device Manager". GO through the option until you find the iphone camera, probably under the "imaging devices" (my iphone appears here as "apple iphone") select the device, right click and select update the driver, at this point try allowing it to search windows update to select the correct driver, or select "no" go next, then choose to "install from list or specific location(advanced)" -> next "don't search I will choose the driver to install" -> you will then be presented with all the driver windows bvelieve will work with this device…
not exactly easy if you've no experience of this…
