iPod case maker scoops Apple?
Summary
Topics
Editors' note, 8:15 a.m. PDT: Doubts have been raised about the photos (see talkbacks) of the purported iPod Touch 3G (below). The original story:
Sydney, Australia - Thought about staying up until the wee hours of the morning to get the information on the new iPod? No need — the new iPods have been leaked.

Thanks to an unceremonious cat out of the bag from a third-party case manufacturer, we now have pictures of what the new iPods look like.
Both the iPod Touch 3G and iPod Nano G5 sport a camera on the back, and the Nano continues the trend of the elongated screen that we've seen on previous models.

What about
Specs? Any word on that? Particularly, hoping the nano 5g gets 32gb models. And hopefully its available at best buy tomorrow...
And in other news - First Post!!
Also, who wants to bet that Apple will not be letting that case company make any more in the future.

Not Real
I don't know about the Nano, but that defiantly isn't the new
iPod Touch. It's the iPhone. If you look closely, you can see
the speaker grill for the phone's speaker above the screen.
Unless Apple is releasing the iPod Touch with a phone built
in (?), I can guarantee you that that is not the 3G Touch.
P.S. Just noticed too that the Touch is running version 1 OS which was
discontinued last year.

Perhaps an existing product was used for the photo
so they could get a pic up for their case. It still gives a good clue as to the size and shape and location of camera hole (not to mention confirming the existence of a camera hole).

RE: iPod case maker scoops Apple
this article was obviously written with little or no thought. It
is obvious that this is an iPhone, and an old picture at that. It
is sporting a 1.x.x version operating system, has a phone
speaker at the top, and on the case there is a space for the
silencer switch.
Cmon ZDNet, get your act together.
