The same Vietnam site that leaked the iPhone 4G prototype and the new MacBook has just leaked an iPod touch with a 2MP camera.

The Foxconn manufactured device has a DVT-1 (Design Verification Test) stamp on the back and is running a diagnostic utility.

According to the label it contains 2 Samsung 32GB Flash modules giving it 64GB in total storage; as well as, a 2MP, backside illuminated sensor manufactured by Omnivision (OV2665-6s).

Engadget notes that a check of the device’s serial number identifies it as a late 2009 third generation iPod touch.

It seems the owner of the Vietnam prototype iPhone 4G has succeeded in getting iPhone OS 4.0 running on the device, according to a new photo obtained by Engadget.

So far we have yet to see more pics of the operating system; however, if true, the prototype could reveal more information as new betas of OS 4.0 get seeded to developers.

Also, a lot more photos have been taken of the device.

The general look and feel of the prototype iPhone recently discovered and disassembled will likely be very similar to the final shipping product of the next-generation handset Apple will release this summer.

Citing sources familiar with Apple’s fourth-generation iPhone, Daring Fireball’s John Gruber revealed that the barcode affixed to the prototype device obtained by Gizmodo, which read “N90_DVT-GE4X_0493,” gives insight into how far along Apple is in the design of its next-generation phone.

Apple considers the iPhone 4G prototype being showcased around the web to be stolen property, not a lost device, according to Daring Fireball.

The new owner of the device said it was found on the floor of a San Jose bar inside an iPhone 3G case; however, this information can’t really be confirmed.

In Gizmodo’s hands-on report they note that Gruber said the device was reported lost and Apple wants it back. That isn’t technically correct as Gruber makes clear…

Note that I did not use the word “lost”. It is my understanding that Apple considers this unit stolen, not lost. And as for the “someone(s)” who “found” it, I believe it is disingenuous for Gizmodo to play coy, as though they don’t know who the someones are.

While iPad shortages are causing delayed shipments on international orders elsewhere, Israel is yet to get the iPad too – but by choice. And the nation is effectively threatening anyone who attempts to purchase or obtain a US version of the device. What’s more, an Israeli who does so will have their tablet confiscated. You see, the Communications Ministry in Israel has blocked the import of iPads to Israel. Read more…

ThinkFlood released the Redeye in December of last year, which is a little unit that hooks up to your iPhone and, working with a separate app, turns Apple’s handheld into universal IR remote. Our own Brett Terpstra liked the device, but said the unit was a little costly and could probably use a few tweaks. ThinkFlood has apparently made those tweaks, however, as they’ve now announced the Redeye mini, a smaller (and cheaper) form of the IR device. Read more…

This is a great story, true or not take your time in reading this as this is very very entertaining. We have all been to the mall at some point to kill some time just like this gentleman and i’m sure everyone has been to the apple store to kill some time but until now I haven’t heard of such a thing so enjoy guys. Thanks to @hotrod1964 for sharing his story.

@SebastienPage tweeting 2U since U have so many followers.Feel free 2 RT my experience. Went to local APP STORE about 2 weeks ago. For nothing other then I was in the area and had an hour to kill. Figured I’d browse around. Obviously, they were very polite and a salesperson approached me to see if I needed some help (store was not busy at all). Told him “Nope, just browisng”. Being that they were not busy he starts asking me what type of comp I have, what kind of phone and etc…When I told him I dont have an iphone he asked why and if I was interested in 1. Read more…

I stopped by the 4iThumbs booth to check out their product that would purportedly increase my (admittedly dismal) typing speed on the iPhone/iPod touch. It consists of a plastic overlay that puts small ridges between the letters of the standard iPhone keyboard, available in both portrait and landscape formats. The product comes with some tabs that you affix to the top and bottom of the device, and you can then slip the plastic overlay on and off. Read more…
