iPod Touch 3,1

If Apple follows their usual path, they are expected to reveal the details of their next iPod Touch some time in September. The new device possibly named the iPod Touch 3,1 may come with a few hardware additions, most notably a camera. The latest rumors indicate that Apple may already be in beta testing for the iPod Touch 3,1. We’re guessing its going to have bigger capacity and an even faster CPU than the one on the iPod Touch 2G. Come September, Apple will likely also announce firmware 3.1 which is supposed to fix many of the issues with firmware 3.0.
