Apple is expected to launch a new wave of iPods at its 'rock and roll' event in San Francisco later this evening, but accessory manufacturer Cygnett appears to have jumped the gun.

The Australian company has already published product pages for cases designed for two yet-to-be-announced Apple iPods; an iPod touch G3 and an iPod nano G5.

The third-generation iPod touch, pictured above, is shown with the often-rumoured camera. The fifth-generation iPod nano, meanwhile, features what appears to be a larger display - presumably making for an improved landscape video mode.

The Apple store is currently down - presumably for the above to be added - and the Cupertino, California-based company is expected to officially launch its new products later this evening.

No mention of whether or not you can use them in mildly warm climates, or if they will leave apple branded scorch marks on your hand. Nothing new here though, tarted up slightly but will be fun seeing how many people re-buy them for the sake of apple worshipping. :p


Zune HD FTW.
Nano has a camera as well.
Very timely. I was just about to buy a nano for the other half as a birthday present.
how useful is a camera on this? It will be worse than the original iphone(poor) and its just a gimmick to me, my
canon dslr is good for real shots and my lg renoir phone is great when i need lightweight and havent got time to get a dedicated one. The nano used to be small and lightweight but now this newer version looks like a smilar size to the sandisk sansa view(not small) and now im confused what this offers over any other brand? The sansa fuze along with other brands(cowon) do better than the nano interms of reliability, sound quality and price.

Apple need to actually innovate more instead of just refreshing the line with simple things like a camera. It would seem like other brands are going slow to but even sandisk made a more useful addition with the Clip+ which now has gapless playback, stronger materials(build quality better), slightly changed control panel and a microsd slot which adds a huge amount of upgradeability to it.

Now this sounds like an anti apple/apple rant so ill stop :P.
Augmented reality is meant to be the hot ticket at the moment, surely the camera will be helpful for that.

Plus apple have to ‘innovate’ after the Nintendo DS added one.
