So, if this is legit. A forward facing camera is required, and therefor confirmed. But I would MUCH rather have a rear camera for picture taking, than have a forward facing one that I would use twice.
@TomSawyer If they were to include a forward facing camera, I think they would also include a GPS. I have my doubts that they'd include a forward facing camera without a GPS - Apple likes to go the whole nine yards, and I think they see geotagging photos as a big deal. Of course they may be planning to have both in the next iPod touch....
@cruncis And another thing is with all of this new stuff being added. The price point for the 8gb model is going to be higher than it is now. I see this next generation selling less units due to the pricing. Unless they have two seperate versions. One with and without cameras.
@cruncis Except the GPS functionality usually comes with the cellular chip set, so for the Touch (which has no cellular chipset) they would have to add components to get GPS.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

I think it's safe to expect both.
