iPod Touch with Camera (3rd Generation) Spotted?

A Chinese site named WeiPhone has got hold of what could possibly be the photos of the upcoming 3rd Generation iPod touch with Camera which is expected to be announced by Apple in their September product launch event. The photos in question clearly shows off the rumored camera which these new iPod touch’s would get. While I personally am skeptical about the rough scratches on the back, these pictures do look promising. What do you think? Could this in fact be a first look at the next-gen iPod touch?

Do you think Microsoft has done enough with Zune HD to hold off Apple and its upcoming iPod touch line?
