According to a leading UK retailer, John Lewis, the next-gen iPod Touch will come standard with a 5MP camera, FaceTime, and the ability to shoot video in high definition. At the Xmas in July event in central London, the retailer let slip some potential iPod Touch specs citing “noises we’re hearing from suppliers”.

The prediction details potential features such as an added flash to the 5MP camera, HD video at 720p, YouTube uploading, and FaceTime with calls over Wi-Fi (alluding to the addition of a front-facing camera). The new Apple gadget to be unveiled in September may also include an accelerometer and gyroscope the same as the new iPhone 4 allowing for improved gaming. However substantiated the claims may be, just hearing about these specs is reason enough to get excited about the iPod Refresh in September.
