Hi guys,
i was just wondering what you guys thought. I think it is going to be before christmas. With all the cases still out, and apple not calling it the 3rd gen(they call it late 2009) on their website, i think the ipod will come soon. Another weird thing is that the 16gb is gone.

1) Many of the Apple products are designated by when they were released. They would also have possible issues if they named it iPod Touch 3g. The iPhone went from iPhone to iPhone 3G when it went to the 3G network and then to 3GS in the next revision. They didn't call it iPhone 4g because people might think it would work on the 4G network. I think you will see the iPod Touch designated by it's release date from now on to prevent any misunderstandings with the iPhone designation. The other iPod lines will probably keep their naming designation since there is no similarity to the iPhone.
2) As people have mentioned in other threads, the case makers read the rumor sites and try to get a jump on each other. If Apple told the case makers anything other then that the iPod would have the same dimensions (outside and screen), the same switch size/positions, and the same connector size/positions, Apple would now have multiple lawsuits from the case manufacturers. No lawsuits = the case manufacturers screwed up
3) It cost Apple money for each version of the Touch they produce (from manufacturing through sales). Apple dropped the price of the 32gb to the price of the 16gb and eliminated the 16g. People will now get the 32gb for the price of last year's 16gb. (Note - the 8gb is the same as last years design. Only the 32gb and 64gb are the newer design.)

my response is that :
1) i think they would still name it 3rd gen. they don't call it 3g or 2g on their website. they call it 3rd gen and 2nd gen. that doesn't cause misunderstanding. the other reason is that wouldn't they do the same thing with 2g, if your opinion was true. 2g can also cause misunderstanding.
2) i think your right on this.
3) i was hoping they would do the same thing with the 8gb. like make the 16gb 250 dollars with all the new things.

Unfortunately, if you call it 3rd gen, people shorten it to 3g :(. This could cause confusion with the iPhone 3G network and comparisons to the iPhone 3G when it's most similar to the iPhone GS. I myself would have liked 3rd gen but I can also see where it could cause Apple some headaches. My Mac Pro is designated Mac Pro early spring 2009 and I believe they are going to start using the date designator on most of Apple's products Note - If you look back on the Mac Pro threads from this spring, a large number of people claimed the early spring designation indicated that Apple was going to soon put out a new revision (sound familiar :) ).

i think it is to make it clear when it was released. on apple they have 2 or 3 mac pro refreshes a year. They name it that because they update so often. Maybe they are naming it late 2009, because they will refresh the ipod touch too this time. i think it all depends on the point of view you look at it.

The Mac Pro never refreshes more then once / year which was my point.
They still called it the Mac Pro early 2009 even though we will not see a revision till next year.

I thought we talked about this on the other form, the oct. 14th one. Apple names their products by Generation and Early, Mid, Late year. Its not one or another, its both. They take both into consideration. Why would they have a late 2009 model, just to release another late 2009 model. That makes no sense whatsoever. The earliest it would be is early 2010, like i've stated many times before jan-march at earliest.
And that't if they ever put a camera in it. Right now for me it stands 40% yes, 60% no. Its a gaming machine, a camera isn't needed.

Okay first off he said Mac Pro, not Macbook Pro. Second the 17 in was updated twice because back in 2008 it didn't become a unibody like the other Macbooks. Then mid 2009 it was updated with the other pros because they added the SD card slot.
Seriously, just let the whole Early, Mid, Late thing is not going to prove a new touch is coming sooner than next september
Also, I'm 99.9% positive that it was only named late 2009 to not mix up the 8GB iPod Touch. Because the specs of the 8GB 2nd and 3rd Gen. are the absolute same. By naming the 8, 32 and 64 GB Touch Late 2009, it doesn't confuse the two 8GB with each other because the 09 were of course built later.
Like it has been stated before in other threads, the Classic is also named late 2009 and that's not going to be upgrade until next September like it has been for the past few years.

I think the whole iPod Touch camera thing has gone on a little too long now. Yes people wanted it, why I don't know. They didn't get it, just let it be. APple doesn't want you to have it, so you don't have it. Talking about it and making dozens of threads won't change what has happened and what will happen. it is out of our hands and Apple is in control.

I don't think Apple doesn't want us to have it, since they gave a camera to the Nano. I do believe that with all the early hype they might have chosen to punish us or prolong it's release and just add a mic instead.
The mic and the nano camera seems to be a hint for a camera for the ipod touch though.
I also think they are prolonging it because what are two things that the iphone has that ipod touch doesn't? A phone plan and a camera (in the basic sense of things) so if they add a camera it could possibly lessen their iphone sales.
Also why is it wanted? It's always nice to carry less things, so if there is an ipod/camera/video all in one that is two less things to carry. Its a convenience thing, plus I think again users see what iphone users get to do and what to do that too.

If I'm not mistaken, I've heard many times now that the iPod Touch isn't thick enough for a still camera. It would be nothing more than what the nano is, just video. Which then would probably lead to fewer sales because people want an actual still camera.

I have three, including the one on my cellphone... I still want one on my ipod, just because a) my cellphone cam is very slow and b) my other cameras (including a nice DSLR) are too large to bring with me everywhere :p I also usually have my iPod whenever I'm out and about.

That is true. If it just did low-res video like the Nano, I wouldn't even consider it. If it was closer to a 3GS camera, I'm down for an upgrade :cool:

When you don't have a camera ANY camera, is better than nothing.
I remember when I upgraded my first palm to one with a camera, complaining and griping about it because I thought I would rather use my regular camera.
the tune changed real quick as I carried my palm everywhere. I also found all sorts of uses for it, and a camera of some sort is a requirement, on either my phone or my pda.
Would I rather use my phone camera, to take pictures of something, no, but you would be surprised, how useful it is to have in a pinch.
I use mine to price check, take photos of company phone numbers,and of course the grandbaby.
its like carrying a pocket knife, you never miss it until You don't have it.

iPod updates are "usually" in September with a Keynote, or early in the new year (January or February). Furthermore, historically, the iPod Touch has seen updates only happening in the month of September. That is somewhat big news if you ask me...
The camera release may be early 2010, but I think they are going to wait till September 2010 for the 4th gen. I think it is all due to a business strategy because of the new Nano being released with two key features that the Touch should have - a videocamera & FM radio.

I wouldn't have imagined Apple to add a camera to an iPod, but with Android starting to show up in big numbers, and with an app store behind it that's starting to look like all iPhone/Touch developers are also developing for Android, I can't see how they could leave one off the next model if they want it to stay on top of the PMP heap. I just updated from my supposedly "iphone beating" Samsung Instinct to an HTC Hero phone. I found every app in the Android marketplace to install on it that I insist on having on my Touch. A few aren't as polished as their iPhone/Touch version is, but it's clear Android is getting serious attention from developers. The 5 megapixel camera in my Hero has zoom and auto-white balance, along with several other "camera only" features. Yes, Android is primarily a phone OS, but there will be more than a couple of 2010 PMPs showing up with it too. You can already by and Archos 5 with Android. The Creative Zii's Android should show up any time now. That Zii has two cameras with one being 720p video capable.

The 32GB 1st gen iPod touch released in February, not September.
So there is precedent for a mid cycle release. I still believe that is when we'll see the camera enabled touch. Everything else will be the same as the current 3rd gen, it will just be a 3.5gen.

The 32GB was not something you can articulate as an update, that was a new model they "needed." They added in flash memory because of supply/demand(cost) of flash memory at the time when they first developed the Touch. If you look at a lot of Apple's 1st gen models in general, you'll see some similarities about these 'easy' spec additions that make economical sense. Especially, when the market has a spec like flash memory, where flash memory can decline in price in great measure when a larger capacity has just come out to the public. (i.e. - The reason for adding the 1st gen 32GB in February, and not in the debut)
There is not precedent for a mid cycle release!!! Funny word to use, especially since it was quite easy to understand why they needed a 32GB model on the 1st gen.
This update is different. A feature like a camera/video/mic & FM radio is a drastic update from the previous generation...
I want it to come early 2010, but I think the way their sales are going - we'll see it fall of 2010...

How about a return to quality, complete feature set and an amazing package that supplies everything - dock, cables, software - like Apple USED to do.

iPods get updated once a year, with the exception of adding different colours to the nano & shuffle ranges. Im certain there will be no exception this year, there is no need to update before then because the touch is selling well.
The major updates always come before the holiday season because that's when the most sales will be. So if they added a camera before then, they would be stuck for a killer new feature next christmas.

You know if Apple stopped supplying their earphones with the iPods AND knocked off say $10 off the price, I would be happy because there always has been better earphones that you can get than wasting your money having to pay for that useless pack-in.
Anyway, Apple is a business, and businesses only want to make a profit. Looking at it with the most critical point of view, it's all about offering the bare minimum with the highest possible selling price. If Apple can save money not having a camera on the iPod touch, and still have good sales, then what's the point from their point of view?

Since it's almost July and I still haven't seen any half-decent rumors regarding the fourth-generation of the iPod touch, I'm going to give myself a big window so I don't get disappointed - Spring 2011. I believe that's when iOS 5 is supposed to be released, or at least previewed, so it would follow suit to release a new device to take advantage of it.
As for the camera, I think it will most definitely be on the back, probably on the top right or left corner. To the person who said it'd only be capable of video and not stills, most video cameras in handheld devices are just still cameras that takes 30 pictures per second. Since it's going so fast, that's why the resolution is usually lower. So there's no reason why it wouldn't be able to take stills.
It might just be wishful thinking for a camera on the iPod touch though. Apple will want to coerce consumers into buying their more expensive products that feature the camera, i.e. an iPhone. By not including one on the iPod touch, it would push those who really want it to just go ahead and buy an iPhone, netting Apple more money.

iPhone prices - $99, $199, $299
Touch prices - $199, $299, $399
How does Apple make more money on the iPhone when, the Touch costs more???? (I mean unless every single person gets the 32gb iPhone, and only buys the 8g Touch) Based on your point, Apple would want us to buy more Touches. ??

iPhone prices - $99, $199, $299
Touch prices - $199, $299, $399

Are you serious?
Att buys them from Apple for whatever, then Att sells them for a discounted price because of a two year contract.

Well.....I did fail to realize AT&Ts part in the equation, so I guess I stand corrected. I just want the damn thing (Touch 4g) to have the rear facing camera!! Lol

Both cameras would be nice but if it doesnt, if it has one at all, will most likely be the rear facing one.

I think it might only come with the front one for Facetime.

I think the ability to see what youre filming if its not yourself is far more important, but its all up to apple. :)

Umm, next September, it's not like we haven't discussed this before you.
+1.
This s*** doesn't have to be discussed any more than it already has.

I voted in September because it's a trend apple has. I also believe that it'll have both cameras eventually. You gotta remember apple thinks of us too. Because if we aren't happy, then we won't buy. An if we won't buy, then apple isn't happy. See? It's a circle! :D

I e-mailed Jobs. He said they'll release it on the same date as the Powerbook G5

I voted for September because I really want to purchase an iPod Touch and I don't want to wait another year before Gen 4 is released.
I have no knowledge of a date, but I am a pessimist by nature. I am afraid that Apple will wait an additional year for a new Touch, since this year they have already brought out the iPad and a new iPhone.
Apple may want to get more sales of these items before realeasing a new Touch. I also wonder if Apple has put all their resources in those products, and have put a new Touch on the back burner.
I hope I am wrong about this. I really want a Touch this fall.

I took a look at the September 2010 calendar and my best guess is the iPod event to be on September 7th. Its the first Tuesday of the month. I dobut it will be on August 31st, mostly because the free ipod deal ends on the 7th.

I know. :p I'm not an Apple freak. Again, it would be stupid not to release in September, cause they would miss out on a Christmas which is obviously the biggest time of the year to sell them.
If it released next Tuesday then wouldnt there be pre-orders or at least be posted on Apple's site, or am I just not getting something?

It would be posted on the main site if it was next Tuesday. I don't beileve that. Tuesdays in two days. Time for preorders?
If ape WERE to have the iPod touch come out next Tuesday, we would have heard rumors in may.
