Secrets Of The New iPod Touch

iPod upgrade & repair gurus iFixit have done a tear-down of Apple’s latest portable media players and revealed some Apple iPod touch secrets:
- It’s got a Broadcom BCM4329FKUBG wireless chip, so the hardware appears to support 802.11n.
- There’s also Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and an FM receiver and transmitter on this chip.
- Apple left in room for a camera in the top of the device. There is a 6mm x 6mm x 3mm space between the Broadcom chip and the wireless antenna. There isn’t enough depth for an iPhone-style autofocus still camera, but just enough room for the camera that Apple used in the 5th generation iPod nano.
The new iPod touch hardware seems to confirm that a video camera, Wireless networking and a built-in FM transmitter/receiver are on in the works for the iPod touch, but may have been nixed in this rev because of technical issues.
Looks that way to me. I think that the iPod Touch will become an increasingly important platform for Apple.
Howard -sure looks like it.
I can see people holding off on buying an iPod touch, though, until Apple releases the updated version.
If you get this part of the digitizer repair of damage due to water not worth it. You are wasting time and money
