I've actually been holding out on getting a Touch for my daughter specifically because I was thinking the next version will offer a white color. Nice!!! Now my son can take the black 4th gen and hopefully my daughter can get a white 5th gen.

If they offer a 3G Touch, then my wife is going to have to upgrade from her 2nd gen Touch. Santa is going to be busy this year.

WOW we now know the Heirarchy in your household:

1st Daughter 5th Generation
2nd Son 4th Generation
3rd Wife 2nd Generation
 
I Want One Already, just look how beautiful it would look;

I'm in the market for an iPod touch, I dislike having all my music, games and video on my iPhone.

Well then, just wait for this lower-priced unsubsidized iPhone (which I'm guessing will be an iPhone 3GS or something else based off that handset's design).
I am glad I have someone else in a similar situation to discuss this with. :D

Like you, I'm a T-Mobile Gold Rewards member; it took me over three years to burn through $100 (which was aided by making a few local calls in Mexico).
Are you me? I burned through my rollover time the exact same way.

I could continue with my two-device strategy (Motorola dumbphone using T-Mobile pay-as-you-go and my 64GB iPod touch), however, I really want the iPhone for its better camera. I'm still schlepping my Canon PowerShot sometimes.

If Apple offers an unlocked, contract-free 64GB iPhone 5, I am sold.
Yeah, I have the dumbphone but the iPod Touch feels lacking compared to the iPhone. The camera mostly. I have a very slim 5 MP Kodak that I still use. I replaced the battery for ~$20. I found little need for an entirely new camera given its compact size and extremely responsive first shot speed.

My brother always carries his camera around. He always has pictures to show, even if it is the stray cats or graffiti on a passing train.
 
I've said this before, but maybe it should be said again, the iPod Touch is Apple's version of Bitch Stewie.

PS. I own an :apple: Bitch Stewie 4G.
 
No, they did not rid of the white MacBook. It is still being sold to educational institutions. Also, they added white as a choice for the iPad 2 and iPhone 4.

Makes sense for Apple to offer white products when they can, since it is a color that is popular for consumer electronics in certain markets (e.g., Southeast Asia, Europe). It really doesn't cost them any more to make.

Exactly from what I heard, the 4g doesn't lag at all or lag much with 256ram a4 so I guess A5 and 512 won't be needed yet. Even if there is a minor update, I really hope Apple upgrades the camera so it is respectable at least.
Apple may have had camera specially designed for ipod touch but I doubt that, they could use iphone 4 camera in to the 5G. Anyone who says its too thick is incorrect, Apple just didn't want to include it last year because it would rival iphone 4. This year with iphone 5 getting 8MP, maybe Apple will just update the camera , white version and possible chance in storage capacity if the rumors are true that A5 is overheating.

As long as the camera improves, I am going to purchase the 5g, it sucks that there are no viable competition now to keep Apple one step ahead.

They just got rid of the white macbooks.

Kill whitey !

Its so ugly.

Just my opinion

Agreed the white iphone already looks fruity, can't imagine how a white ipod touch will be good. Apple should just have a red or blue one along with the black. Going with primary colors never fail(cept for yellow).

All I'm saying is that white clearly blows, Apple better not market this as a huge update to the 5g.

Ummmm,.......Hmmm..

Not exactly what I had in mind but you are entitled to your opinion.

I was kinda talking about the Aluminum and black....Across the board

Maybe this is a sore subject, but why all the animosity towards color? The iPods need some variety. Not saying bright colors or anything (the photoshops I've seen of those are horrendous) but more sleek and cool colors.

That would be beneficial but as long as the iPhone exists, I doubt that it will happen.

White just isn't good color, any other color such as red or blue would not have brought much animosity against it.
 
Camera Camera Camera Upgrade

Ok, so I can and bummer live without the A5. But the Touch NEEDS a 5MP camera.

Toss a 5MP camera and I buy. Otherwise I stay with my 3rdG iPod Touch.

I would also like a flash but will buy w/o the flash.

The iPod Touch NEEDS a much better Camera
 
I don't think a white ipod touch would make a difference not in terms of sales that is.
 
Heres my mockup for the white iPod touch.

Does anyone believe this?

No spec update, Apple is surely smarter than that.

I don't see the touch at EOL in 2011, there has to be some spec update with white color I guess.
