As the week of September 7th slowly approaches, rumors of what the next-gen iPod touch will or will not contain will be flying around the Internet like crazy, so why not start them off with a giant bang? The on-air blog of Covino & Rich, hosts of the Maxim Radio talk show on Sirius XM satellite radio, have posted numerous photos from a loyal listener that appear to be of the next-gen iPod touch, complete with a built-in camera.

-to show it's real. If you look at the board, it states Apple 2009 very clear. The 2nd gen AKA iPod touch out now, has 2008 on it. They haven't revised the 2008 touch. I will compare them in pic in a sec.
-BTW, these phones NEVER leave Apple and this one left but it was a durability test phone, so that's why the screen is all gridded off and cracked. -The side by side picture is the inside of the current gen vs the 3rd gen (one coming out in September). -I acquired this from a guy that I buy parts phones and iPods from. I believe he's a recycler in ***********, so what most likely happened is that Apple threw this away and he some how got it and sold it for parts.

After the images were posted, there was a mass amount of scrutiny from several blogs and readers indicating that some of the images looked "photoshopped," so the source created a video to prove once again that the device does indeed exist. The video is embedded below.

So is this really the next-gen iPod touch? It definitely could be. Don't forget, we were the first to discover that the next-gen iPod touch may be getting a camera way back in April, when Apple posted a job listing that indicated they were looking for a "Camera Engineering Project Manager (EPM) to drive the design, development and integration of camera modules across iPhone and iPod."

So what do you think? Is this one big hoax or is this actually the third generation iPod touch?
