New iPod Touch Case Design Suggests Updated Device

**Michael Essany** · 08-05-2010, 08:47 AM

New images (photo illustrations) of an updated iPod touch case may reveal the long-awaited arrival of a camera for the next generation iPod touch. According to HardMac, new pictures of a case design for the device is serving up all the "proof" some need to believe that a forthcoming iPod touch refresh will finally deliver at least a 3-megapixel camera.

It comes as no revelation that case manufacturers are privy to new iPhone/iPod touch designs long before the general public is so that updated cases are ready to roll out by the time the actual iDevice does. Steve Jobs, of course, has publicly denied that this happens. All evidence, however, suggests the contrary. And although cases tell us nothing about the internal components of an Apple device, several key attributes of a product can be gleaned from its shell.

What can be assessed from the latest leak is that the next iPod touch may deliver a rear camera and flash analogous to what we have on the iPhone 4. The "source" providing the information to Harmac nicely coincides with the recent tidal wave of similar leaks from iPhone/iPod touch parts suppliers and also the Taiwanese publication Digitimes, which claims a 3-megapixel camera is inbound for the next generation iPod touch.

This rumor again, I put so much trust in it last year and was dissapointed

Last years refresh was very disappointing, I'm still waiting on a 3G touch

**LuisAKANewt** · 08-05-2010, 08:59 AM

Well I will have to wait since I got the third gen iPod touch I might skip getting this iPod

**junnyboy11** · 08-05-2010, 09:02 AM

lets just w8 because you will get you hpe up and b dissapointed

Jobs flat out said at the antenna conference that they've stopped giving plans to case makers because they leak them.

Plus any press shots of the new iPod touch would show the iOS 4 wallpaper.

**trigun989** · 08-05-2010, 09:11 AM

**luqven** · 08-05-2010, 09:11 AM

2 flaws with this picture, no camera icon on the home-screen, no 4.0 wallpaper and dock... just saying.

**wolverinemarky** · 08-05-2010, 09:11 AM

i was a victim of this already telling my friends that new ipod touch with camera is coming soon but i probably shouldnt have hyped it up so much just in case apple doesnt do it

Not only that.... Its missing the tiny black piece where the wifi signal comes through. unless Apple has some new type of wifi! hahahaha. like their oleophobic coated 3gs and retina iPhone 4

**je1230** · 08-05-2010, 09:21 AM

another flaw
where is the spotlight page?

**havoc0351** · 08-05-2010, 09:47 AM

Not gonna happen... again!

**bsltiger** · 08-05-2010, 09:56 AM

Messany got trolled.

**mikerlx** · 08-05-2010, 10:55 AM

The iPod touch with camera would probably be a better buy than iPad 16gb no camera IMHO

**radioboy** · 08-05-2010, 12:21 PM

They're two entirely different devices encompassing two entirely different functions. You're not walking around with your iPad playing music in your pocket and snapping photos.

Apple seriously what the hell?
I have 2 iPhones and 2 iTouches and 1 iPad, i really wished my iPad had a ******* front-camera so i can FACETIME ON IT YOU ******* WHORE!

you know what would be a BETTER idea? make a USB cable on the damn iPad so i can connect my webcam on it?

**BeachLivin88** · 08-05-2010, 01:08 PM

Typical Messany...

Uhhhh, yeah... It's called an iPhone?! There will never be a 3G touch. That's the whole idea behind it; you go online via wifi for free. You have to pay a monthly service fee for the 3G coverage.

Seriously FaceTime on an ipad would be awesome.
