Apple to launch new iPod Touch with Camera and Microphone
Once again the rumor mill is running hot about the iPod Touch getting a camera this fall, as Wired has gotten information from its sources that Apple’s factories in China are already manufacturing iPod Touch models with cameras and built in microphones.
As already rumored earlier, the new iPod Touch would have video recording as well since it’ll contain the same camera as the iPhone 3G S, and a speedy processor and more memory is also to be expected to help with smooth video recording and editing. This will allow the iPod Touch to work with even more applications from the App Store, with the exception of the ones that use GPS or the compass in the iPhone 3G S. The next gen games in the App Store that would require faster processing power to handle better graphics should also be compatible with the new iPod Touch if the rumors are true. Wired thinks that it’ll also handle voice commands which wouldn’t be a surprise if it gets the same processor as the iPhone 3G S.
Expect the new iPod Touch to launch around September in a special event by Apple. To add to the rumor mill, here’s something TechCrunch blogged about, back in December last year. An iPod Touch with a 7 or 9 inch screen:
We’ve got this from three independent sources close to Apple: expect a large screen iPod touch device to be released in the Fall of ‘09, with a 7 or 9 inch screen. Prototypes have been seen and handled by one of our sources, and Apple is talking to OEMs in Asia now about mass production.
Fingers crossed!
P.S. This would be a good time to hold back those iPod Touch purchases, as in about 2 months, it’ll be old anyways no matter what the next generation iPod Touch offers.

I wanted a Iphone for a long time, I could not justify paying an extra $50 a month for what I pay for my current service (T-Mobile). I got the G1 instead (I love it by the way), my only gripe is that I have no 3G service and the only 3G service is 2+ hours away. The Ipod Touch is pretty kick butt though I still enjoy playing with them.
[...] The prices for the Zune HD were also leaked from the Best Buy inventory system, with the 16GB model to be available for $220 and 32GB for $290. The leak was later confirmed thanks to Amazon’s pre-order page. The price seems just about right when you compare it to the 2nd gen iPod Touch which was launched a year ago with the 8GB model for $220. We will definitely be seeing price cuts this September for the iPod Touch line up too, coupled with space increases and various rumored features such as a microphone, camera and video recording.
