Given Apple's insistence on remaining tight lipped regarding rumours connected to its existing or future product range, rampant and unsubstantiated speculation never seems to venture too far from the Cupertino-based consumer electronics giant.
Bearing that in mind, with the near mythical Apple Tablet now seemingly banished to the shadows, the latest gadget-based whisper to be offered by industry watchers digs up the tried and tested 'iPod Touch with a camera' chestnut. Feel free to click away now.
According to an unnamed “inside source” who's supposed to have spilled the beans to The Examiner, trendsetting Apple will apparently unleash a camera-equipped variant of its iPod Touch during the first half of 2010.
If the rumour holds water – and these things eventually do – the revamped Touch handset will carry the same video-only camera already integrated into the fifth-generation iPod Nano multimedia player.
According to online fanzine Apple Insider, the non-telephonic iPod Touch was supposed a receive a camera during Apple's recent product overhaul, but the planned upgrade was scrapped after the discovery of a production problem related to substandard contributory parts.
