iPod Touch 4 Illustrations from Case Manufacturers Obtained – Shows Camera and Flash

There’s no doubt that iPod Touch users are anxiously waiting for the update of their beloved devices to get a camera. A website, HardMac has obtained illustrations of what seems to be a clear case for the next generation iPod Touch 4 that will be unveiled in September. According to HardMac, they have a reliable source and it is the same one which let out the secret of iPod Nano getting a camera last year. iPod Touch didn’t get a camera last year due to some ‘technical issues’. hardmac-100804

These reports conflict with the rumors of the next generation iPod Touch getting FaceTime support with a front facing camera. As for the front facing camera, we’ve seen leaked prototypes of the 3rd generation iPod Touch with a camera many times, so it’s about time that Apple includes this feature.

The fact that the design of these iPod Touch 4 illustrations don’t match the new glass front and back of iPhone 4 also put doubts in our mind as Apple likes to use the same design language on all its devices. Keeping this in mind, iPod Touch 4 should also have a glass front and back.

Whether these findings by HardMac are correct or not, we will find out next month, in September. We personally hope that FaceTime and a front facing camera do make the cut for iPod Touch 4 feature set.

  1. One thing to take note is the lack of the iTunes icon…
    An iPod is an iPod, enhance it as much as possible but, why does it need a camera & flash, like keep it nice & simple.

  2. The UI shows iPhone OS 3.x or even lesser. That's just a mock up.
    It's true what you say about the iPod, but iPod Touch is more than just about music now. It's a pocket computer which can do excellent web browsing, be great for communication and social networking and even an entertaining little gaming console.

  3. Those guys bidding on that E-Bay ipod touch currently at 3,150.00 are a real bunch of dumb ass suckers. More features will come out when the real one is issued to market and then they will feel real dumb ass!
