I assume they've boosted the CPU too as previosu gen iPod Touch's with IOS 7.1.1 runs like muck and honey. Really slow and jerky.
Not true. The Touch runs IOS 7.1.1 very well without lag.

I'm only seeing this on the US online store so far. Every other country I checked shows the old 16 GB model as "unavailable" and appears to have the old pricing for the 32 GB and 64 GB models.
Usually the online store would go down while the distributed network of servers got updated, then everyone would see the new pricing for each country. Has Apple changed the way they update the online store?
Apple obviously believes that the iPod Touch is a dead product line as well, or they would have updated the iPods with an A7 processor but they chose not too. A great many people love the iPod Touch, and many may still benefit, but Apple would rather have people buy an iPad or iPhone.
Is this apples amazing product plan this year? just barf out the pretty much same products they´ve had with slight modifications for a lower price. It´s ALL they released this year: MB air with less than 10% speed increase, iphone 5c 16gb model, a crappy iMac model, and now a slightly modified ipod touch....talk about riding on old waves.
Yawn...
Yes, I suspect we'll get new iPod touch this fall. And then the A5 version will be gone. Maybe this 5.5" rumored device will be a new iPod touch geared towards gaming. Metal was announced for a reason. And I think that reason will become clear this fall.
Is this apples amazing product plan this year
Hardly. We're only just approaching midway through the year and these have been silent updates.
The big software updates announced at WWDC were good, and there will be decent hardware upgrades to come, most likely.
Now for the iPhone 6 to be:
32 @ $199
64 @ $249
128 @ $300
No. Why do people keep saying that? Just because Apple releases minor updates to some products doesn't mean that they don't have an amazing product plan for the year (and next year). 2014 and 2015 will be huge years for Apple's product lines.
Decreasing prices for Flash Storage upgrades is a good sign!!
I hope this means:
(US prices w/ 2 year Carrier Contract)
iPhone 5C 16GB - $0
iPhone 5S 16GB - $99
iPhone 6 4.7inch 32GB/64GB - $199/$299
iPhone 6 4.7inch 32GB/64GB/128GB - $299/$399/$499
Or maybe they won't continue selling the iPhone 5S.
and in its place there will be 16GB iPhone 4.7inch for $99?
.... nah, this probably won't happen to good to be true

if you think this you're not a regular iPod touch user. i've been carrying one in my pocket for 3 years. why? no monthly fee!
I carry with me a cheap prepaid phone which maybe cost me $25 every 90 days. This is who the IPT is for alone with teens.
I still don't see why anybody would buy this outdated iPod in 2014...
Mine didn't.
I know, just whining because I want to see something awesome from apple, and it feels like ages now. WWDC and their software updates were awesome though, but unless you want to be a beta tester, nothing has come out to the public yet. I'm getting impatient for something new. And none of apples releases this year has given my wallet any temptations at all!
Be patient! There falls seems like it's going to be crammed full of hardware releases. Presumably iPhone, iPad and iWatch will get the bulk of the attention, though.
