to apple101, there is already an LED backlit screen in the ipod touch. What you are thinking of is an OLED screen. isn't gonna happen. why would the ipod touch have a possibly better screen than the iphone? doesn't make any sense.
not to be harsh but apple pretty much dominates this section of the market. OLED is not coming anytime soon. i remember steve saying that they weren't going to go oled just yet, till prices/maturity of tech is there. right now lcd is priced lower than oled even though the latter costs less to make. its just companies getting r&d money back.
I know they dominate this part of the market. I said it might, but it is not likely.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS GOING TO BE A 128 GB
If there isn't then it will prove Apple is run by retards. 128 is the bare minimum acceptable in this day and age.
128 GB is the bare minimum? Really? Show me all those devices utilizing 2 64GB NAND modules.
If there is no 128 GB version it means Apple couldn't get 64 GB memory it needed in sufficient quantities, not that they are "retards."

Not to mention that Flash memory of that caliber is too damn costly.
Beside the iPod touch is probably used more as a gaming/surfing device rather than an actual Music/Movie Player. That's why the iPod Classic is still around with a massive amount of room to fill that need.

I was going to comment, but you two summed my thoughts up quite eloquently. Thought I'd comment anyways to reaffirm what you both said. (Bonus Question to Black Belt: Name one pocket-sized device with 128GB of flash memory?)
Edit: Never mind! Just found a few 128GB thumb-drives online, but the starting price? $300. No way they would fit that kind of memory into an iPod touch unless they charged $800 for the thing.
It doesnt make them retards. Those parts are expensive.128 GB is the bare minimum? Really? Show me all those devices utilizing 2 64GB NAND modules.

It doesn't make sense to have 128GB, most people I know own an 8GB and they are satisfied with it, I don't know anyone else who owns higher than an 8GB touch. Especially for $429, at that point its approaching the cost of the iPad. Personally I would want to get a 32GB and it would take me a very long time to fill it which is good, and I do agree that 8GB is too small especially with the bigger software updates leaving you only around 6GB of space.

if someone has alot of money or rich they might as well have a 128gb but i dont think that is needed for personal normal use
Exactly. The cost for 128GB of flash memory is just too high, and it would be too close to the iPad.

Music
Okay let's NOT talk about:
- camera
- the looks (colors, the back, etc.)
- gyroscope (which is actually interesting)
- battery life
- chip
- memory
No, let's talk about MUSIC.
I want my iPod to wirelessly stream music to my bluetooth
speakers in my room.
I just simply want to exchange music via bluetooth with any device.
I want to listen to FM-radio.
I want my iPod to connect to any device (DLNA).
I want in-ear headphones with my iPod. No crappy ones.
Possibly wireless.
Okay and maybe a better screen. That's a must actually.
I don't care about a camera. I have one on my phone.
And if I really wanna make pictures I'll use my camera.
I don't care about how the thing looks, as long as it's good.
One more thing: about internet.
I hope it'll feature a (micro)sim-card tray just like the iPad so that I can surf the internet with it anywhere.
That's my wishlist.

I hope the 32GB drops in price. Still think the 8GB is a little overpriced at $199. Come on Apple, price drops, PLEASE!
The front facing camera on the iPhone 4 is not 5MP. The rear, however, is.
From Apple's website:
I thought you needed to be making a phone call (hence the 3G) in order to connect to FaceTime using Wifi?
I think he meant, when you use Facetime, you can use the back camera as well as the front. He didn't imply that the front one was 5 MP.
I thought you needed to be making a phone call (hence the 3G) in order to connect to FaceTime using Wifi?
You can apparently use FaceTime directly from your Contacts.
Exactly, a 128GB chip costs around $200
I thought you needed to be making a phone call (hence the 3G) in order to connect to FaceTime using Wifi?
Nope, you just call over the net.
If Apple is bringing FaceTime to the iPod touch, then it will probably use email addresses to use FaceTime, but, I can also see it calling from your iTunes account and it finally will have a reason for contacts on the iPod touch to be. I think FaceTime for the touch would be a smart decision for the new touch and they only cost $1.00 to add in.

As others said, you don't need to. Also, some people found references to the ability to register your e-mail address to facetime, as an alternative to a phone number, for devices that aren't iPhones.
