Another day,
another Apple leak. This time it's an eBay double whammy of the camera-donning
iPod touch, which appears to be of the same design
from August but now with iPod branding on the back. Furthermore, the two devices bear the prototype identification codes "DVT-1" and "DVT-2" ("DVT" stands for "design verification test" in Apple-speak, according to
Daring Fireball), while the DVT-2 model wears an extra bar code label seemingly stamped by the "Apple Development Team." We tried to verify using the FCC ID "BCGA1318" at the bottom, only to be let down by a kaput FCC database -- we'll give it another spin later. Unsurprisingly, the eBay listing was quickly taken down, but it's not like any mere mortal could've gotten much use out of that Transformer-themed (and
familiar-looking) "SwitchBoard" test-bed software -- maybe it was a displeased
Michael Bay who killed the auction. A couple of backside shots after the break.
