Exactly. I'm guessing a drain hole for those owners (and there are many of them) who drop their devices into the toilet.
No.This will be the newest iPod Touch ever.
Definitely a second camera. What better selling point for the younger audience than being able to take pictures and video in 3D?
Well lets see now...Possibly because this form factor made them the most successful tech company in the world. Maybe you would suggest, a triangular shape, maybe a hexagon? Please...
No.Um, I don't think the flash would be all the way down there. How are you suppose to hold it? Won't your hand be in the way?
Night and Day difference. Try putting and iPad mini in your pocket.
Agreed.
How about 'Lucky Hole'?
It is for a stereo speaker. For those saying it wouldn't be since the sound would muffle on a table, look at the iPad speaker placement. It will NOT be for a 3D camera, 3D is a gimmick. For them to add 3D they would need other screens that play the 3D content, Apple is about integration.
wild guess;
what if the the touch has dual speakers like the iPhone....
My iPhone fits in my pocket. A Touch makes sense if there is no alternative other than an iPad. An iPad mini will cannibalize Touch sales within two years. After that, Apple will be sending folks to the iPhone or the mini.
"Mystery hole" just doesn't sound right.

3D lenses are typically close together than parallel

Jeez, another Apple device with the iPhone 4-like flat rectangular design. How boring! Why is Apple so obssesed with this form factor?
Am I the only guy seing a 3D camera on this case?
I mean, one camera on each corner, with the aproximate distance between the human eye. 3D camera!!![]()
Lets think about this logically. A 3D camera on a device like an iPod means that the display must be 3D as well to get any use out of the camera. A 3D display will require more space and more battery power, yet the iPod touch is supposedly going to be even thinner, leaving less room for the 3D display and the bigger battery.
The 3D camera would become a useless gimmick without a 3D display, so I don't seedoing this on the next gen iPod touch.
While a speaker makes more sense, it too has drawbacks. Putting down the iPod on a table face up would muffle the sound, and putting it face down means you can't choose any music! When holding the iPod, the speaker faces the other way, so the sound travels away from you which would just be pointless. Also, holding the iPod may block the speaker while playing a game, making the speaker pointless.
If this hole was for the flash, then it wouldn't matter if you covered it during playing a game as it will not be in use, and the flash doesn't take up that much extra space. Also, the flash requires very little extra battery power to operate, as it only briefly flashes while taking a photo. It just makes sense.
If this new iPod touch gets camera flash then it wouldn't surprise me if the next iPad got it as well.
