Apple is expected to release some new iPods this coming September just as they do every year. This time, it’s probable that one of the new iPods will be an iPod touch with a camera or two, just like the recently released 4th-generation iPhone. Apple of course has done good on keeping the truth behind their iPod unveiling plans secret, but an iPhone parts supplier called iPhone revivers sent in the above photo to MacRumors to confirm the rumors about a new camera-wielding iPod touch.

It’s a photo of what will be the front of the 4th-generation iPod touch and its got two holes on it. The larger one will be where the Home button should be placed while the smaller one opposite to it is though to be where the front-facing camera will be situated.

Combined with yesterday’s news of the leaked iPod touch case photo which showed a main camera at the back, we now have more evidence that Apple will indeed an iPod touch equipped with the same exact cameras that the iPhone 4 has. I’d say if you’re planning on buying a new iPod touch, you might want to delay it for a bit since September is just around the corner.

Just the other day a free jaikbreaking tool for iOS 4 devices became available to the public. And it couldn’t have been simpler. All a user had to do was open up their iOS 4-based device (whether it be an iPhone or an iPod touch) and navigate to http://www.jailbreakme.com/. Today, a free unlocking tool called ultrasnow is being made available for iPhone 4 users, which makes Apple’s latest flagship smartphone compatible with operators from all over the world now. In short, it is a great day for iPod and iPhone users alike. Check out the source link below for more details on the iPhone 4 unlock.

I’ve always wondered why Apple users can sometimes be easily referred to as Apple ‘fans’ and why despite its obvious design flaws, the iPhone 4 is still selling like hotcakes. A new research paper suggests that instead of relying on rationality, Apple users tend to rely on faith. This particular research paper was made by two professors at Texas A&M University and published this month. It goes on to liken Apple to some sort of modern organized religion, and one of the authors was quoted as saying, “The religious-like behavior and language surrounding Apple devotion/fandom is an example of ‘implicit religion.’” This certainly helps in making sense of the whole situation between Apple and its followers, but the question remains, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
