That is what Apple is adding in September, and it doesn't wake or run the program. It simply allows the OS to change your apps icon and display little numbers on it. The user still has to run the app to get whatever change is trying to be pushed down.

Looks an awful lot to me like they deliberately added a hole, perhaps based on earlier Apple plans for a camera. What do you suppose the vertical slit is about?


One is the ambient light sensor, and one is the proximity sensor to turn off the display when talking on the phone. No idea why they put the holes in the cases for the iPod touch though.
