More Misplaced Apple Prototypes? The Next Gen iPod Touch

Hot on the heals of a near complete accidental reveal of the iPhone 4G, 9 To 5 Mac noticed that for a little while this morning there were two strange iPod Touches with strange built-in cameras and a strange operating system on eBay.

Strangely, the auction was swiftly pulled.

9 To 5 Mac has plenty of pictures lifted from the auction of the devices and their markings.  “They are marked with ‘DVT-1’ and  ‘DVT-2’, ‘Apple Development Team’ and one is running some sort of ‘switchboard’ OS window.”

Here’s a closer pic of the operating system:

Wait.  Rumble and Soundwave?  Strange.

More pictures of these lost and lonely possible prototypes can be found at 9 to 5 Mac.
