New Ipod Touch

The latest rumors to make their way out of Apple is that the newer generation of iPods, specifically the new Touch that is apparently on the way will be able to provide users with a little more than just audio video and surfing. Reports have stated that ‘well-connected’ sources have information that the new iPod Touch would come equipped with a camera and a microphone as well.

Being a Wi-Fi enabled device, the PMP could now be taking things up a notch by adding communication via voice and image to the media device. With the microphone and Wi-Fi combination, not to mention the camera Skype calling could be enabled. This is surely going to up the ante a bit for other manufacturers to follow suit. The camera could presumably be used as a stand alone device obviously for taking pictures and the same reports are also suggesting that the microphone could make voice commands a reality for the iPod Touch, making it that much more akin to the new iPhone 3GS.

The same source in the report has also mentioned that the new device could be out in the next “two to three months” which is not much of a wait. Stay tuned.
