Apparently hidden in the code of the 2.1 firmware we’re anxiously awaiting to make our iPhones less laggy and crashy (and maybe add copy and paste!) is a reference to a new iPod touch model. The current iPod touch designation is “iPod1,1” but there’s a string in the code for an “iPod2,1” which points at a brand new iTouch.

For historical comparison, the original iPhone is “iPhone1,1” while the iPhone 3G is “iPhone1,2” as we found out during the 2.0 update madness, so there’s definitely a case to be made. And late summer is new iPod season. What new whiz-bang features do you think would be in a whole new iPod touch? [iPhone Atlas via Mac Rumors]
