While Apple fanboys are getting excited over yet another iTablet/iPad supposed leak, others are turning their focus to an almost dead cert; a new iPod touch complete with digital camera.

The latest supposed leak includes a gallery of images posted on Flickr and a video to prove it of an iPod touch complete with camera on the back top and centre.

The shots, which could just be the work of an over eager fan boy with a drill do look legitimate, but we can't help feel that if Apple were going to put a camera on the back, and we suspect they will, why they haven't married it up in the same place as the iPhone camera location?

Apple is expected to announce a new iPod touch along with other music related announcements at their annual, yet to be confirmed, September product launch.

Current speculation suggests the announcement will come a week before the launch of Microsoft's latest Zune MP3 player in the US. It that is correct, it would put an announcement sometime during the week commencing the 7 September.

The company has yet to officially set a date.

We will keep you posted.

  • The innards of the current iPod Touch are different to the innards of the iPhones - look at the location of the headphone jack, for instance - this alone could be a reason why it was easier to put it in the top/middle than the top/left as you look at it. Posted by Damager, England
  • If this is real and it is a prototype why is there no apple logo on it and why is it so scratched?? Posted by Matthew, England
  • I think this has some truth to it the owner claims to have bought the iPod Touch for parts from apple and it was used in a durability. Apple may have put it in the middle so you don't confuse it with an iPhone. Apple may also not have put a logo so rumors didn't speculate if it got out and thus rumors spread anyway Posted by Collin, U.S
