“Leaks of claimed next-generation iPod touch parts continue to surface, further bolstering speculation that Apple is preparing to launch new models with front-facing cameras to allow for FaceTime video calling,” Eric Slivka reports for MacRumors.
“The latest leak comes via M.I.C. gadget, which reveals another LCD/front panel assembly on sale for approximately $95 at a Chinese e-commerce site,” Slivka reports.
“Apple is widely expected to introduce new iPod touch models sometime in the next month or two, with recent claims pointing to a mid-September media event for their debut,” Slivka reports.

Just in time for Xmas.
Looks kinda thin, I hope they can get a 160GB SSD and a SDXC slot in there and optical out, then I finally might buy my first iOS device.

@anonymous coward:
It’s just the front panel…
@anonymous coward
Good luck with that.
Anonymous Coward is just mad that droves of people disagree with him and are buying the iPad and iPhone in droves.
It better have the retina display and rear 5mp camera. No more placing barriers around the iPod touch to protect the iPhone, Steve!
look at the font … the hacker installed a font first ….right
I doubt anyone owns a zune we just joined a hapealthclub and all the machines are iPod iPhone compatible.
Also i have to say other then a couple of people everyone had an ipod.
Why would I buy anything but an iPod. Every gym has iPod compatible equip and everything is made for iPod. Other then headphones I have yet to see anything for any other mp3 player.
STEVE, DON’T FORGET MICROPHONE SO WEVCAN USE SKYPE AND OTHER VOIP SERVICES. AND LET’S INCREASE MEMORY TO 128 GIG. HOPEFULLY, FRONT FACING CAMERA AND REAR CAMERA WILL MATERIALIZE, BECAUSE I WILL USE SKYPE.
Coward, you’re a douche.
Spare us.

Nice upgrade for the iPod Touch. Now get on with the front face camera and FaceTime functionality to the iPad!!!!! Some of us are waiting impatiently for that.
Hey Apple! How about getting your manufacturing OUT OF RED CHINA! I bet the parts leaks stop.
troll sez: “iPhone pwned, real pictures http://www.sbsfaq.com/?p=2165“
troll didn’t read the article. The author makes no claims of knowing exactly what is occurring but is instead encouraging investigation. Nowhere in the article does it mention whether affected phones were jailbroken or not. Nor does he identify any vector causing the SMS messages he describes.
∑ = To early to claim anything. Therefore, troll is down another point.
‘dpr1961’ sez: “STEVE, DON’T FORGET MICROPHONE SO WE CAN USE SKYPE…”
No problem there. If it ships with no mic, there will most certainly be an addon from Gryphon or other to provide that functionality. The Apple Peel 520, discussed here yesterday, will no doubt either work out of the box or be refitted. The result is an iPod Touch cell phone.

WHAT I WANT is a STEREO MICROPHONE! In this day and age I want to be able to record the real world for my two real world ears. No mono no more! Sick of it. HiFi stereo mics for everyone! Or at least a way to plug them in. I’ll buy them! Just let me use them Apple. No wimpification! No hobbling! STEREO!
Can’t wait for the new iPod Touch! Will get it right away! ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />
