Vietnam seems to be bringing us all the goodies recently with both iPhone 4G shots and the Macbook updates a few days ago. Today we have a fresh batch of pictures and a video of the once mythical iPod Touch, but this time with a 2MP camera. Engadget is reporting that it’s a late 2009 third generation model, similar to what we saw just before the September announcement last year, which could mean it’s part of the same batch as the ones which ended up on eBay for a few hours. This version holds the same DVT-1 stamp on the back as one of the eBay ones did.
If it’s from the same batch as the ones before, should this spark any more speculation that Apple will be including a camera with a eventual iPod Touch refresh? No.
Apple clearly pulled this model for a reason at the last-minute, and for some reason there’s still a few left in the wild. Until we see a differently designed iPod Touch pop up in Vietnam (face it, you know that’s where we’ll see it first), then we can expect that Apple has put the camera model on the backburner for now.
Don’t get me wrong, I do hope they include a camera on the iPod Touch. There’s no reason for it not to be included in the device, to be honest. Think of how many more apps they’d sell if they included a Camera on them.
Check out the Vietnamese post for a load more pictures, and enjoy the embedded video showing the diognostics utility below.
