I still don't know about it having a camera...
The reason for it not being on the 3G was to keep a reason to get an iPhone.
I expect the a4 chip and retina display though.
I disagree on the camera front. I'd say it most likely will (I believe a recent update added the ability to use FaceTime with an email address instead of a phone number, why else would that be there but for iPod Touch compatibility?). I think the reason for it not being in the 3rd Gen was that there was a hiccup with the cameras at the last minute. There was a gap in the internals for the camera. A4 chip is definite though IMO
QUOTE(Dialexio @ Aug 30 2010, 12:35 AM) A4, 512 MB of RAM, Retina display (LED-backlit IPS display, of course), and a VGA camera (for FaceTime) are definite.
Gyroscope and 802.11n support would be a safe bet too (though I suspect 802.11n be limited to the 2.4 GHz band, like the iPhone 4). I predict capacities for the price points to remain the same ($299 for 32 GB, $$399 for 64 GB). And also... the iPod touch 4G will probably run iOS 4.1
.1.
I'm skeptical on a rear-facing camera, since it would require a thicker casing and Apple's notorious for slimming down, not fattening up. (Third party cases don't prove anything.) Same goes for AppleInsider's 3G claims; FFS, a 3G-equipped iPod touch is called an iPhone.
