Another 3rd generation iPod touch prototype… but without the camera

Seen on Twitter, yet another 3rd generation iPod touch prototype. It doesn’t have a camera, but it still has a cutout for one.

Apple was really close to adding a camera to this model: the final version has an empty space where the camera should be, and this DVT prototype, dated about two months before the iPod touch’s release, has the camera cutout… but no actual camera.

The cutout is there.
