Good afternoon and welcome to Chez Apple Rumors. Your first lunch course will be an iPod Touch with a camera followed by the accidental insertion of something called the IPAD into a survey for Borders Books. Can I get anyone anything to drink?
So we begin this Eng video of the iPod Touch with camera that we talked about this week. It’s apparently a prototype model that was ground to bits by Apple’s stress testers and then recycled. As you see from the video after the jump, the old fellow has a camera.
Then, as you see from the above screenshot, we learn that Borders is talking up something called the iPad, a noble and befitting name for a device that is a Pad and is made by Apple. I did a trademark search and came up with bupkus, but that doesn’t mean they won’t assign it by January.
The Borders survey asks if you’re planning to buy an Apple IPAD (Large Screen Reading Device),” which either suggests someone at Borders is taking the piss or they have horrible web designers who never talk to legal.
This is all well and good but of what are we certain? We know that upcoming iPods will have cameras come September 8 or so and that the iPad or whatever it will be called will drop in 2010. All the rest of these rumors and videos are just icing on the already delicious Apple future device cake.
Do you know where a fella can find a decent restaurant serving any of this:

Even though it’s just a rumor, it seems that most rumors that surround Apple end up being true in the end, so I’m sure that this is too!
its another slow news day ….
“horrible designers that never talk to legal.”
Fix it.
Another rumor tonight. Apple is rejecting Spotify for iPhone.
In Swedish:

ipad.com is owned by some chinese company (see HTML source). Not likely Apple wants to use that brand name.
Plus Maxi is working on a next generation sanitary napkin of the same name.
macbook.com, macpro.com, logicstudio.com, and timecapsule.com are all not owned by apple.
Just because they don’t own the domain is no reason to think that they wouldn’t use the name anyway.
Come on what are you really going to use that camera for? Shoot a video and then hold it on your device? Unless this iPod has 3G, I don’t know what a camera will do for us.
Email or upload photos to facebook or myspace via wifi, among other uses.
Exactly. “What are you going to use it for?” Oh I don’t know, probably for the same reasons why you use the camera on your phone. That and now I can use apps that require a camera. I’m sure there are more reasons if you think about it.
In any case, there is NO reason to NOT have a camera but there ARE reasons TO have a camera. So I don’t even know why people would bitch or complain or argue to begin with. :/
Im just a bit sad that i’ll be left behind. I had iPod touch v1 then iPod touch v2 now v3? Its costing me lol. I would love a swap deal eg iPhone 3G for 3GS. That’d be great.
Borders would not be privy to this information.
There won’t be an iPad. It’s the new Macbook:

Sorry Joel but I doubt you are right.
There will be an ipad. Steve Jobs has secretly creamed over the newton and longs for it’s return.
If our *local* Borders stores are any hint, and if the increased frequency with which I’m getting 40%-off book promotions is a hint, Borders is going down the tubes, and hence lacks credibility.
Can we just start calling it the Mac Tablet now instead of later? iPad sounds so… lame.
It’s coming, the Apple tablet. Pretty much everyone knows it’s coming. We need to stop having these rumors, and just release the damn thing. http://ziggytek.com/
they must have had two because of the shape of the video
