It looks like one iPod case manufacturer has decided to put some of its new cases for the new iPod Touch 3G up for sale on its website, ahead of today’s Apple special event.
Case manufacturer Cygnett has a number of cases listed for the iPod Touch 3G, and as you can see from the photo below, it features a camera module.
Speculations and Features
The inclusion of a camera module in the iPod Touch 3G cases has sparked a lot of speculation among Apple enthusiasts and tech bloggers. Many are wondering if this means the new iPod Touch will indeed feature a camera, a much-anticipated addition that has been rumored for some time. The camera module could potentially allow users to take photos and videos, making the iPod Touch a more versatile device. This would align with Apple’s trend of integrating more features into their devices to enhance user experience.
There is also a case listed showing a new iPod Nano, with a longer screen than the current model. This suggests that Apple might be planning to update the iPod Nano with a larger display, possibly to improve video playback and user interface interactions. Unfortunately, there are no other details available as yet, so we will just have to wait until later to receive confirmation from Apple.
Market Implications
The early release of these cases by Cygnett could have significant market implications. For one, it shows the confidence accessory manufacturers have in the upcoming Apple products, suggesting that they expect high demand. This move could also influence other manufacturers to follow suit, potentially leading to a flood of accessories hitting the market even before the official product announcements.
Moreover, the anticipation surrounding the new iPod Touch and iPod Nano could drive up pre-orders and early sales, benefiting both Apple and accessory manufacturers. The inclusion of a camera in the iPod Touch, if confirmed, could make it a strong competitor against other multimedia devices in the market, such as smartphones and dedicated cameras.
