It's overdue for an update and there's an Apple event in two months. I'd take it back and wait.
Edit: Actually, it might not be overdue. The MacRumors buyer's guide says it is but that's just because it came out in February and the last update was in September, which was a 185-day span. But the other iPods are always updated in September, so I don't know. Regardless, I'd wait.

Wow, you're so wrong.
iPods are updated in September. There won't be a change to the iPod touch until then.
Yeah, you're probably right. I was just going by the buyer's guide, forgot about the yearly September update.
The standard advice is:
If you need it now, keep it.
If you can wait until September, take it back and wait.
If you need it now, keep it.
If you can wait until September, take it back and wait.
I would wait for sure. With all the recent rumors of new things like faster wifi and more features, I would keep saving up from now, in case the 3G costs alot more(which may happen!).
i would buy one now. i have a 1st Gen model and sold it for a decent price and picking up a 2nd Gen model...
the thing you can always count on with Apple products is relatively high resale value. September is a good distant away...
I say pick one up and enjoy it. When September roles around and just some features are added - you may feel better that you went ahead and just bought a model that does everything you need it to in the first place.
On the flipside - if the new model has particular features that catch your eye - just sell it your current model. You should have close to zero problems getting it off your hands.
I can't live without my iPod touch...so I refuse to wait till September. If I need to upgrade again...which I doubt I will need to...because practically the current iPod touch is having the features that will be "marketed" on the new ipod touch turned on.
Don't expect a camera and etc...Apple still needs to have particular features seperating the iPhone and iPod Touch. I'm happy using my digital camera taking pictures anyways.
a 64gig model I would say yes to though.
