iLounge has learned from 'a source who would have reason to know' that the iPod touch 4G will be changing shape. The back of the device will no longer be a dome-like curved surface; neither will it be flat glass like the iPhone 4.
They've heard that the shape will be:
Familiar. Think of the top of a MacBook Pro, only smaller, which is to say flat rather than curved at the center—closer to the look of the first-generation iPod touch’s back, only with modifications. The rear camera is there, but there is still some question as to whether what’s next to it will be a LED flash like the one in the iPhone 4, or a microphone like the one next to the video camera of the iPod nano. We’ve been told to expect a microphone rather than a flash, with a continuation of the bottom-mounted headphone port and Dock Connector port.
Apple is expected to announce the new iPod touch on September 1st at a 'Special Event' for the media.
