I understand how the new iPhones get leaked, Apple has to test them all over the place to make sure the cellular antennas are working correctly. However why they would need to test an Pod touch outside of Apple HQ is beyond me. I am not saying this iPod is BS, but I don’t think it is a new model, so much as it is an older prototype.
I may eat my words later, but I would guess this is not an upcoming model, so much as it was a proof of concept.
