Is the next generation of iPod Touches getting a camera upgrade? But not only the camera but as well as a integrated microphone. Tech sites all across the web believe so. According to Wired.com:
A well-connected source tells us those rumors are on the money, and that Apple’s factories in China are already manufacturing iPod Touch models with integrated cameras and microphones. An Apple spokesman declined to comment when reached by phone.
This is really not suprising me as I could see the iPod touch getting this soon. Why? Well because when you think about it iPod touch owners are held off from purchases in Camera Apps, or applications such as Skype because users would have to buy yet another
$30 Headset with mic. I'm sure Apple would like some more money coming in with iPod touch users now being able to purchase more apps.
What else could the microphone mean? Well the iPod touch could also be getting the Voice Control feature as well. This would not be a iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3rd gen only exclusive feature.
Last year the iPod touch 2nd gen came out around Sepetember, we can only wait and cross our fingers to see what Apple has planned for us.

Sites around the internet are buzzing around saying that not only would us iPhone owners not only get the new 3.0 firmware upgrade at WWDC, but also the New iPhone (insert name here) to launch after WWDC? It's unlikely for me seeing as how Apple always and for the past two years has introduced the product then released it. The first gen iPhone being announced in January, and being available late June. As well as the iPhone 3G being announced at last years WWDC and being available in July. Apple always does suprise us though, and with Palm's Pre to launch today (June 6th 2009) Apple could possibly be wanting to have some competition. But let's face it, I doubt the Pre will do better than the iPhone for sure.

Now in my whole interest of electronics which hasnt been that long, I've never seen an Apple product leaked unlike a cell phone from
HTC or another Cell Company. This next rumor comes from
iLounge.com and its an artist's rendition of what seems to be the next gen iPod Nano. They say that it will be released same time as the iPod Touch, in July/September. Most likely I'll have to agree with them on the September drop because that's there whole music event they have at apple.
Now my thing who needs a camera on the iPod Nano? Put it on the iPod Touch first right? A Nano with a camera is awesome no doubt about that but I mean it seems pretty silly. And also everyone I pretty much know has the current line-up of the iPods, the new Nanos and the 2nd Gen iPod Touches. Why would only after about a year or so sell for just a camera when every phone has one right? I also thing that if the device pictured above is what Apple will come up with they need to add better specs to make a person sell their current iPod and purchase this one. How many of you would purchase one? Leave a comment or send a tweet, I'm really interested in seeing how many would delve into buying this device.
Now for the current "rumored" specs of the new nano:
- Screen gets widened to a 1.5:1 aspect ratio, much better for movies
- Same click-wheel
- No Touchscreen (although I could see apple taking all the iPods to this technology after a couple of years or so)
- Click-wheel moves down from current location and shrinks along with the button to click
- Camera is oddly placed but most likely for landscape pictures
Let me know what you think, follow me on twitter @iRockIsh !
To Give you Better Size comparison I Modified to the photo from iLounge and took another pic from the current line-up:

Anyone anxious for WWDC as much as I am? I’m desperately waiting for it lol. Well this screenshot has been going around the internet. It’s a screenshot of a 32 GB iPhone on a T-Mobile Site, I believe its T-Mobile Austria. What do you think? I couldn’t believe that T-Mobile in a different country getting the iPhone, but I do believe that the next iPhone is going to have 32 GB to replace the current 8 and 16 line-up. Lemme know follow me on twitter @iRockish !

So there are many posts on every tech site about the New iPhone thats like 100% surely going to come out now! I just bought a 3g back in March, but hopefully the Dev-Team can unlock this one faster than it took for the 3g one.
A lot of sites have their own specs listed but the top ones that people know are coming and the others ones that they HOPE are going to be included are as follows:
- 16 GB and 32Gb to replace the current 8 and 16
- 3.2 autofocus camera (I honestly think this is the one of the things that is lacking hardware-wise)
- Same $199 and $299 prices (32 gb for 300? not bad)
- Video recording with new 3.0 firmware
- The metal band is to be discontinued with this new model
- 1.5 times better battery life (SWEET!)
- OLED Screen
- Double the RAM and processing power
- Bult in FM radio (idk why? i barely listen to the radio plus there's apps that work over EDGE and 3G perfectly)
- Apple logo on back to glow (why?)
- Rubber backing
- Built in Compass (I think this is a 99% percent Yes)
- Sleeker Design
- and last but not least Turn by turn directions (WOOO)
I hope most of these are true cause then there would be reason to update to the new iPhone instead of last year, when all the reason to change was GPS, 3G especially, and color?
I hope Apple worked harder on this iPhone but all we can do is pray and watch WWDC and wait for that all-knowing "one more thing" type of intro we always get.
Any other hopes you would like to have? Twitter ME "LOLZ"
