Everyone here realizes that this and the prototype iphone thing is fake right! Look at the Apple Logos then look at the one on your mac, iphone, ipad or ipod and its not the same... The bite is not right. I can make a bar code in 30 seconds I say fake. I will put money down that both of these are scams by that site gizmodo. I will never read there again. Its so obvious.
Got a tip for us?

why not, I could actually see it also having a front camera and using wifi to do video conference.
would love a camera & video on newer iPod Touch models
Personally, I would love a camera on the iPod Touch as well as a video camera for video iChat. I have been in many situations where I wished to take a picture and had the iPod Touch in my pocket. Some people don't want or can't afford the service of the iPhone.

That seems like a very silly argument to me. First of all, a VOIP app only is useful when you're connected to wifi, which is usually at home. It doesn't replace a cell phone.
And I'd say there's a massive difference between someone who's willing to fork over $300 one time, and someone who's willing to spend $200 THEN $50-$100 a month for a phone plan. The only person who's willing to do that is someone who wants a cell phone.
You think the speaker was a big enough selling point that people decided that they didn't need their cell phone and instead bought a TOuch? You think someone is really going to say to themselves "Gee, I was going to get an iPhone, mainly because it has a camera on it. Thankfully, I don't need to get an iPhone know because the TOuch has one."
How does this make any sense whatsoever?
As I said, I'll buy an iPhone when I want a cell phone. I'm not going to buy it because it has a camera or speakers. That's ridiculous.
Nope, actually I am correct. The DA, District Attorney, decide if charges are filed. The Police can arrest you for any offence and charge you for said offence if a crime was committed. It's the same way if you were to be arrested for Fleeing from the Police, the police will charge you with every offence they can, the DA decides what to ultimately charge you with.
If Apple does not contact their respective police station and file a complaint, the police generally don't make arrests. There are a few exceptions to that statement; domestic violence, etc... Here it falls on the DA to decide if this warrants the involvement from Law Enforcement and the courts.
I think this is hilarious.
All you people did was cry emo when the iPod touch didn't get a camera last time. Now, after it's become glaringly obvious making a fit wasn't going to cause Apple to suddenly release a new "one more thing..." version that did have a camera, all the sudden people are all "oh! well of course! an iPod touch with a camera? what a ridiculous notion!"
Maybe you should all write letters to Steve asking what new features you should be requesting next year for the next version so you make sure to stay within his vision of what you want.
I agree, but why not take it one step further and include 3G on it? Then people could do the exact same thing as the iPad strategy. Surely AT&T would be happy to offer the same $30 unlimited Internet on the iPod Touch as the iPad.
Why not take the iPhone to that level too? If someone doesn't want to keep their cell AT&T service, why cannot they at least keep 3G on their iPhone?
I guess this is Apple denying these possibilities to get an iPhone sale over an iPod Touch. With the iPhone, Apple gets $450 directly from AT&T. The iPhone is a hell of an upgrade in terms of capabilities for 3G and cell service, but it's a hell of a deal for Apple as it only has about $20 more in parts (maybe less).
I am surprised at the iPad costs, but I believe Apple intends to make more money via more sales from the demand driven by App Store sales, iBookstore sales, and iTunes sales. The iPad is really perfect to sell all three of those services which sells more and more iPads which sells more and more Apps, content, and books. Apple really has a great strategy, and it's letting the App Store developers create impressive demand while getting paid 30% for every sale.
Apple don't plan leaks like this. And by showing a leaked new iPhone it's going to affect sales of the current range of phones prior to the announcement. I would say it is quite likely Apple are very annoyed by these leaks.
Actually, the back of the iPod Touch is Stainless Steel, not aluminum. I've also heard it's metallic, but that's just a rumor. And you know what they say about rumors, they're lies. This must be a conspiracy. The iPod touch must've been an inside job. It also had to have been produced via controlled manufacturing. George Bush did it? Nope. It was Steve Jobs. And it shows, Jobs = inside job. Makes sense. The facts are on my side.It's already aluminum... just shined. If you mean brushed aluminum, that's making more sense
*sigh*ARREST THE SELLER!
Uh huh.
Be careful what you wish for.
MS-DOS 2011
Such comments only show the magnitude of ones fanboyism. Microsoft and Apple have both contributed to computing greatly.
But, I do really think that we would have been on a command line for a long time without Apple.
In case you have been living under a rock for the last years - since it's incarnation and release the iPhone was updated on a nearly yearly cycle with updates happening in the June/July timeframe.
Guess what - everybody knows, that a new iPhone is coming in the next 3 months.
It's just the nerds, that are salivating over features, processors and stuff.
Average Joe just wants this cell with the neat little fart apps and could give a damn about updates.
There is absolutely no sale lost. Get over it. It's just a part to generate the hype. Within the next month, wait for some more interesting stuff showing up in the OS4 SDK Betas - like another period of fake hints at an iPhone nano or LTE showing up.
And whoever claimed that in the thread: Yes, you're right. Welcome to AppleViralMarketing.com
And as we all know, Aluminium is not a metal.

Apples Responsibility
It is Apples responsibility to protect their trade and other secrets. The argument that Apple is not able to protect their trade and other secrets is nonsense. Apple protected trade and other secrets in the past, so why should they not be able to do it in the future?
If Apple would put a camera on the iPod, it wouldn't be in the center, it would be in one of the corner areas like the iPhone.
And as we all know, Aluminium is not a metal.

Uhm, Aluminum is most definitely a metal.... I don't know what periodic table you're using, but it most certainly isn't the same one we are....
Lol, just to clarify, this is in response to iGuy's post... Not Mr. Retrofire's.
"...and I'm tired of the metal back! I want an ALUMINUM back!"
why not, I could actually see it also having a front camera and using wifi to do video conference.
It'd be a cool feature if it did, but really, an iPod (with the iPod name) was made for music, not taking pictures.... they came along with the iPod Touch for those who didn't want an iPhone, but wanted some of the same features as it. The Phone is standard on most cameras, but not on media players.... So, it'd be cool if they did, but not necessary... Plus, how good could it possibly be? I mean, they can't build in an expensive camera and then have us expect them to lower prices every year on bigger GB capacities...

You might want to make the sarcasm more obvious.
