Buy iPod Touch now or wait?

When I was looking at the Macrumors buying guide, I noticed that the iPod Touch is due for an update. Anyone think we will get an update soon?

IMHO, I think the refresh cycles will start to lengthen due in part to the economy.

Willing to wait 6 Months Until September?

If they were to be updated, count on April. Otherwise May-August is completely off limits due to the probable education promo (free iPod nano/touch with purchase of a Mac)

If I am not mistaken it has now been over a year since iPod Touch capacities have changed. I hope we will see more space and better battery life before September, but I am not optimistic.

Of course the second I buy one Apple will update the line.

The usual trend would be for a capacity bump but nothing else, roll on September for the 'real' upgrade.

Buy now, it's a cool thing to have, and you can always sell it on eBay and upgrade

Do you need it now? Or can you wait till September?

They were last updated in Sept. 2008 and probably won't be upgraded until Sept. 2009. Battery life is pretty good unless you use WiFi a lot which kills the battery.

I would think full screen games would kill it a lot quicker than wifi?

Does anyone know if Leo LaPorte is about to buy one? That's usually the best sign of any kind of apple upgrade.
