The person who posted the pictures claimed that it was a picture of the iPod Touch 3rd generation with a camera in it. To back up what he said he also posted a picture of the motherboard and showed that it said Apple 2009 on it. The iPod Touch 2nd generation has 2008 on it and Apple hasn’t revised it.

Engadget ruled this as a fake, claiming it was a photoshop, but later retracted what they said when Covino and Rich decided posted an actual video.

Do you think this is the real iPod Touch third generation, or just a well-planned fake? We’ll be finding out soon enough in September.

I think Apple will also double the RAM and offer the iPod Touch with more memory as well if or once it comes out in September. Video recording is one of the key features of the iPhone 3GS, will Apple add it to the iPod Touch third generation? Even if they don’t, lots of people will be jailbreaking their iPod Touches to download video recording applications from Cydia.

Update: This is a fake, but there are more pictures of the iPodTouch 3rd gneration and a video from another source which looks real.
