Apple may be planning to add 3G connectivity to the next iPod touch, according to a report from AppleSpot.nl.
It will work just like the iPad; you get a 3G enabled simcard from your provider and put that in you iPod Touch. Apple's choice of bringing 3G to the iPod Touch isn't all that weird, if it's true of course. Question remains how the providers will react to this, since the use of for example Skype will skyrocket.
9to5Mac suggests that Apple could even take this further and turn the iPod touch into a cheap iPhone for the masses by adding "the GPS/3G baseband chips and some phone wiring and a solid 3 megapixel camera and you are 99 percent of the way to an iPhone lite".
It's import to note that there is little evidence to verify these reports; however, it has been rumored for quite some time that Apple will do something to address the huge prepaid market.
