Leaked case reveals camera on next-gen iPod touch?

Friday, July 03, 2009 - 11:00 AM EST

"We’ve received a tip with a link to uxsight.com, an online retailer that is marketing a silicone skin for, apparently, the iPod touch 3G [third generation]. The case is on backorder, of course (until a random Tuesday in September, perhaps?), and is selling for $1.69. The big difference between this and other cases? A hole at the top back that our tipster feels could indicate the inclusion of a camera.

Full article, which includes reasons why this might be a fake, here.

Isn't this the same company that was "selling" an iPhone Nano case?

Jul 03, 09 - 10:19 am Comment from: Ummm

That makes no sense.

Why have a hole for the WiFi?? It's a plastic/rubber case!

And look al all the leaked case designs that showed the 3GS having a different earpiece, an extra button, and maybe a camera. All bogus.

The thing is like three months away and they're making cases already?

Remember those cameras that apple brought in 3 and 5 MP formats?
Now we now that the 3MP cameras went in to the iPhone. So the 5MP CCDs will be in the iPod touch?

Looks like a hole for the camera, and another for the flash.

This italian site have found another casewith a hole in the same place (even tough it's much bigger): http://www.ispazio.net/44335/una-cover-alimenta-i-rumors-sul-prossimo-ipod-touch-3g-con-fotocamera-integrata-ispazio

shit if the touch has a camera on it, ill buy one togo along side my iPhone 3GS. It'll be nice to take some of the workload off my iPhone for the photo and video taking of the kids and save some battery life. I wonder if it'll have a GPS to work with TomTom and geo tagging.

Wifi reception pretty much sucks on the 2ng gen touch (at least for me).. if I cover the plastic antenna area with my hand while surfing.. i more often than not will loose my connection. ...SO.. the hole makes sense.

That said... adding a camera to the touch is a logical next step.. especially since it will have the 3G S hardware in it.. or something even faster.

A camera is nice but I prefer REAL satellite GPS in the next iPod touch.

Jul 03, 09 - 01:39 pm Comment from: Synthmeister

GPS would be killer…

I know that's fake because there's no way that any case is gonna sell for just $1.69.

Jul 24, 09 - 05:25 pm Comment from: Saltyman888

The big round hole is obviously fr wifi for those people who can't get reception bcoz of their closed cases. The second hole I think will be a camera, and I rekon they'll add a mic as well so it will be like a voip phone. It would be kewl if they had REAL gps as well
