Although Apple is rumored to release a new line of iPods this coming September the 9th, there are some rumors supporting that a last-minute defect was found and that their release may be delayed. One source states:

According to one of our reliable source (however, it remains a rumor), Apple is facing problems with the production of the new iPod Touch. The issue would be linked to the new camera module. We did not get any further details, but the problem has been spotted in the first dozen of thousands units produced. Those units have been put aside.

One good thing we can glean from this is another supporting rumor for a camera to be added to some iPod devices.

Hopefuly Apple can get their act together in two days.

Rumors have emerged around the release of a new iPod Touch, the 3,1, coming soon. Apple recently ordered a large amount of cameras (just like the ones for the iPhone 3Gs). My guess is the new iPod Touch and possibly new iPod nano will be equipped with a nice cameras.

As for the release date, my best guess would be that Apple will release the new hardware along with Snow Leopard this coming September. For those of you purchasing MBs between now and September, the price of Snow Leopard will be decreased form $29.95 to $9.95.

No new news from the  Dev Team yet, but I will keep you updated.
