The folks over at MacRumors received some interesting pictures, even a video, of what appears to be the next generation iPod Touch. The images suggest there will be a camera, no word on the megapixels. in the center of the Touch.
The same source that submit these images to macrumors also submitted teardown images of the rumored next-gen iPod Touch to the on-air blog of Covino & Rich hosts of the Maxim Radio talk radio show on Sirius and XM satellite radio. The blog post includes additional information from the source regarding the origins of the device.
-to show it's real. If you look at the board, it states Apple 2009 very clear. The 2nd gen AKA iPod touch out now, has 2008 on it. They haven't revised the 2008 touch. I will compare them in pic in a sec.
-BTW, these phones NEVER leave Apple and this one left but it was a durability test phone, so that's why the screen is all gridded off and cracked.
-The side by side picture is the inside of the current gen vs the 3rd gen (one coming out in September).
-I acquired this from a guy that I buy parts phones and iPods from. I believe he's a recycler in ***********, so what most likely happened is that Apple threw this away and he some how got it and sold it for parts.
The post also included additional images of the device and also internal pictures of the device. The internal shots revealed a red motherboard in contrast from the usual black circuit board, however, the use of red or alternate colours for the circuit boards is common in prototypes.
