We can’t exactly say what’s in the air over at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California, but we’re starting to feel worried. That’s because a number of fallacies with regard to the iPod Touch 4G have been found — and I can already hear the fanboys and fangirls say, “that’s so unlike Apple!”

Today, 9to5Mac has published a post which notes that the iPod Touch 4G may sport an “emergency call” feature, based on a promotional image on the Apple website. We highly doubt Apple would implement this so-called feature for two reasons: First, who in the world is going to want to make an emergency call with FaceTime? Second, FaceTime only operations [on the iPod Touch 4G] on WiFi only, making the feature useless in areas of no connectivity. As a matter of fact, I can already smell the lawsuits that could brew up because of this: “I was in the basement and I pressed the ‘emergency call’ button on my iPod Touch and it didn’t work ’cause I didn’t have no WiFi signal.’”

We’ll let you make your own mind on that one. This next one, however, I’m pretty sure you’ll agree that it’s definitely a Photoshop faux-pas:

Did you catch that? A ‘phone’ icon on an iPod Touch? It sure is! Only you can bet this won’t be on your beloved copy of the iPod Touch — ever. Otherwise, it would be an iPhone!

Expect Apple to soon clean these up. As always, we’ll be following Apple closely and keeping you informed along the way.

Samsung announced yesterday its new Android 2.2 [Froyo]-powered Samsung Galaxy Tab at the 2010 IFA Consumer Electronics Show in Berlin, Germany. With that said, there’s a rumor going around today that when the Samsung Galaxy Tab becomes available here in the United States, it will be carried by Sprint — who is reportedly planning a November launch.

Additionally, it’s said that the CDMA device supports both 3G and 4G, which makes it even more appealing. What do you think?

A fairly undocumented feature in the new iPod touch is the ability for the device to vibrate like the iPhone. It seems this vibrate function was designed with the deaf in mind, as its primary use is vibrating when a FaceTime is received. Apple markets FaceTime as the perfect way to have a phone call using sign language, and vibrate helps hard-of-hearing users know when a call is incoming.

No word on whether this vibrate function can be used in games and such like on iPhones but hopefully we’ll find that out soon. Another change in this year’s iPod touch is the absence of the plastic WiFi antenna strip. It will be interesting to see if it has any affect on signal strength.

We’re soon to find out, folks. One thing is for sure, however; the iPod Touch 4G is seemingly one step closer to actually becoming a phone.

Both Apple’s United Kingdom and France corporate websites are indicating that iOS 4.1 is slated to be released on September 8th, 2010. Now, just in case you don’t have a calendar in possession, that’s next week. Specifically, that’s next Wednesday.

Among the traditional bug and security fixes, Apple will be including interesting features, such as HDR photography (which snaps 3 images when you’re using the camera; one to overexpose, one at normal exposure, and an underexposed image to create clean shots), game center, iTunes Ping integration, HS video uploading over-the-air, and much more.

As far as when the update will hit on Wednesday — that could vary. Though if we would have to guess, 1PM Eastern is a likely bet.
