We have already seen many different pictures of iPod touch 4 surfaced in the last month or so, and rumors are floating around that the new iPod touch will get a front-facing camera for FaceTime video calls, a rear camera for HD video recording, along with a Retina Display. But what we’re all really interested in knowing is what will the new iPod touch look like, as in the design.

The developers behind BiteSMS app have come up with a new app in Cydia called SwitcherPlus which enables you to switch between your multitaskable apps right from your iPhone or iPod touch’s lockscreen.

Apple’s Special Media Event: Preparation for the Launch of Next iPod touch 4 Begins in San Francisco

The iPhone Dev-Team has just posted an update on their official blog, giving warning to all those with newer devices like iPhone 4, iPad (on iOS 3.2.2), iPhone 3GS (New bootrom) and iPod touch 3G / 2G (MC-Model) to not update to iOS 4.0.2 as they wont be wasting another exploit for this minor firmware update. Instead, the focus will now be on finding a new exploit which could be used on the next major firmware update i.e. iOS 4.1. I’ll say that is a good move on their part given that final version of iOS 4.1 could be out as early as next week.
