Best Buy has prematurely listed third generation iPod Touch accessories.

Apple is expected to announce a third generation iPod Touch at today's "it's only rock and roll" event in San Francisco. However, despite nothing being confirmed, Pocket-lint reports that Best Buy's website this morning listed several Belkin-brand accessories for the device. Among the accessories listed are grip cases and arm bands.

Pocket-lint goes on to cite a Wal-Mart employee who said the "new iPods" would be in store at the end of the month, which puts to rest rumors that technical difficulties have delayed the release of the iPods into October.

While most had no details of the new models inbound, the electronics department of Wal-Mart in Riverdale, NJ said that they were expecting the "newer" iPod touch models in at the "end of the month."

Yeah it got too old with the ipods and why a ZuneHD will be so refreshing this time around for me. I got an Ipod. No more money for Apple from me till they get a bit more serious when it comes to the consumer.

Nice screens? iPods have very average screens, if you want a nice screen than look at Cowon or Archos.

I find these "accidental" posts (and flyer releases) to be nothing more than a planned marketing splash! A company like Best Buy and the likes would not make these kinds of mistakes with such big name brands unless they were given some approval to do so. And if you doubt it, just look at it this way, Tom's posted a news story about it - it's really just free marketing for Apple and Best Buy!

First you pay an amount for a product and then you pay more for the accessories.
