Hidden: iPod Touch 3G 802.11n Wi-Fi and FM

iPod Touch 3G hardware

Those impatient guys at iFixit got hold of iPod Touch 3G, the  first thing I think they did was the tear down, in the process they revealed pretty interesting features that Apple has not announced at the launch of iPod Touch 3G. The Broadcom chip used in the device is capable of high speed Wi-Fi 802.11n, they also found empty space between Broadcom chip and wireless antenna which might give indication that iPod Touch 4G might definitely come equipped with a  camera.

 

Other interesting info is that fact that the chip also support FM, maybe just maybe later firmware for iPod could be able to activate it. See step 14 of the teardown
