iPhone update reveals next iPod Touch + iProd?
Posted on August 5, 2009 in Technology
Apple’s impending iPhone OS 3.1 firmware update will give a few new features like increased application programming interface support and a number of bug fixes. After the 3rd beta of iPhone OS 3.1 SDK was out, a software developer tipped Ars Technica with information that the updated USBConfiguration.plist contained particulars about Apple’s upcoming unidentified device dubbed as iProd and also the next generation iPod Touch. The proof of the unknown Apple product dubbed iProd originally came up in March this year when Apple seeded the iPhone OS 3.0 beta software development kits to developers.
A property list file USBConfiguration.plist found that an unencrypted iPhone OS 3.1 beta firmware shows details about the new Apple product models along with the existing ones. For example, the iPhone1,1 represents the first generation iPhone model and iPhone3,1 is the latest iPhone 3GS model. Apple utilizes such numbers to tell the difference between different hardware models where in the number prior to the comma stands for the hardware version.
The unidentified gadget with hardware model iProd0,1 refers to the archetype being tested while iProd1,1 would be first generation unknown product anticipated this coming September. This iProd1,1 device is also said to support high speed wireless networks similar to 3G.
The iProd is probably the much rumored $800 Apple Tablet that might be launched along with 3rd generation iPod Touch. As Philip Schiller, senior VP of worldwide product marketing, informed David Pogue of NY Times, Apple iPod’s Yearly Product Cycle falls in October.
Apart from that, iPod3,1 might be the 3rd generation iPod Touch with camera as the images of the accessories soaring over the web barely indicate.
Although the buzz were not enough, the evidences of the upcoming products are evident from the software released by Apple themselves. At this moment, we got to wait for Apple to put together the official announcements.
