Ah, would you look at that. Earlier this year there were rumors about Apple ditching the physical home button on upcoming iOS devices, and now we have what appears to be a new iPod touch prototype matching such description, courtesy of CrunchGear via Mr. Blurrycam. According to its About screen, this 'DVT-1' (a late milestone) device packs 128GB of memory -- twice as much as the largest available capacity option right now (remember that 64GB iPhone 4 prototype in Hong Kong?) -- as well as a model number 'MC550LL' which isn't far off from those of the fourth-gen iPod touches ('MC54xLL'), though this similarity doesn't help prove its authenticity or indicate whether it'll make it to the market. Still, if Apple does go ahead with this grubby device or at least its capacitive home button, we might see new gesture controls for the bezel area below the screen, as suggested by an earlier patent (and possibly inspired by the webOS devices). But hey, let's not take this too seriously for now -- all this could turn out to be just a much belated April Fools' prank, right?
