iPod with Capacitive Home Button Leaked

Before anything else, we believe we should take this news with a pinch of salt. CrunchGear has posted a series of blurry photos of what seems to be an upcoming version of the iPod Touch gadget. The biggest difference here is the non-physical home button, making the whole front of the device made up of touchscreen.

The leaked device is marked with “DVT-1,” which is found on earlier iPod Touch gadget examples in 2010. It features front and back cameras, 128GB of memory, firmware 4.2.1MC14, and is marked model MC550LL.

It also has an aluminum back, similar to the rumored iPhone 5. Looking at the pretty old firmware would indicate that this test model has been around for quite a while.
