3rd Gen iPod touch With Camera Spotted on eBay

There’s around 1 day and 13 hours left for you to get your hands on a 3rd gen iPod touch with a built in camera on the back.

It is believed that the actual product is real, in that Apple [AAPL] created it. However, the specific model with a camera was never launched last year. Rumours about the lack of camera on the 3rd gen model include the blame on a shortage of cameras which meant it had to hit the shelves camera-less.

The details in the auction, found here, indicate that the camera doesn’t actually work due to a lack of software although the seller does say that when the next gen iPod touch 4 is launched in a few weeks time, the software should allow this camera to start working.

IN EXCELENT CONDITION WITH A VERY FEW SIGNS OF USE IN THE BACK AND THE FRONT ALMOST BRAND NEW AND THE MOST EXCITING THING IS THE CAMERA !!! THAT IS JUST WAITING FOR THE SOFTWARE FROM APPLE THAT IS GOING TO BE RELASED VERY SOON TO WORK.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ASK FOR SHIPPING BEFORE BIDDING. FREE SHIPPING !!! NO RESERVE

Good luck if you manage to pick this up. We are not 100% convinced a software update will be compatible, or fix the camera, but if you want a random bit of history and have a few hundred dollars to spare then check it out.
