Unfortunately this is bunk, but it’s worth posting anyway because, well, I guess a ton of other websites will publish it.
A new non-slip rubber case for the “Apple iPod Touch 3″ on a junk accessory website hints that the soon-to-be-updated device will have a camera. The rubbery red case has two holes on the back, presumably for a camera.
The third-generation iPod touch is expected in September, and is rumored to include a camera, which would be an obvious upgrade for the device.
However, the tip came from a reader “Jenny,” who has also tipped off CrunchGear and I4U News. Best guess is that Jenny represents the accessory website, Uxsight.com, and is trying to drum up traffic and Google juice.
In her email to CoM, she makes sure to mention the case’s low, low price. “Can’t vouch for the
creditability of the source,” she writes, “but I guess $1.69 is not much of a risk.”
Plus, why are there two holes — one bigger than the other? And why two versions of the case, one with the camera on the left, the other with the camera on the right?
