It's iPod TOuch not iTouch that really makes me mad when people say iTouch they sound like idiots who don't know anything about technology.

Oh, I see. You must also think that people who called the titanium Powerbook "TiBook" are idiots who doesn't know anything about technology then :rolleyes:

It's a marketing term, not technology if you were in doubt. Besides, the Touch has all the markings of being an iConsumer Product.
 
I do have one request:

ALLOW THE IPHONE TO RUN ON OTHER NETWORKS... I am locked into Sprint until 2010 and eligible for a phone upgrade in a couple of months. Please do not make me go with the new Samsung that heavily rivals the iphone.

I believe the iPhone is locked into AT&T in the United States until around 2010 or so.

I heard even in 2009, radio reception has to go digital as well, and all analog car radios will not work.

Digital FM radio is now being broadcast (we have a few stations here in Seattle), however there are absolutely no plans whatsoever to stop analog broadcasts of AM and FM radio in the United States. Only US analog terrestrial television broadcasts are being ended in 2009.
 
The new nano looks ugly and weird...same thing though I thought for the current gen nano which I ended up liking. Please, everyone, wait for the announcement before making up your mind about these new products.
 
Secrets

Apple doesn't do such a good job of keeping secrets. However, it might be a very clever marketing scheme... "leak" designs of upcoming produces to generate buzz and interest
 
so much discussion over what people call the ipod touch. good lord, get a life, people. there's a war going on, a presidential election, the economy sucks, college tuition going through the roof .

This isn't a praise Obama Site.
 
I Really Want a Camera on The iPod Touch!

I would like to see a camera, a 20 GB HD, for $300 or less. That would really take the place of all the gadgets for me, since my cell phone I pay $15 every 3 months with Virgin Mobile. I need a phone, but don't use all the minutes.
 
I've been secretly pronouncing nano as "nay-no" in my head throughout this whole thread. Take that!

Speakers will definitely make me abandon my TouchPod for a new model... i'd prefer it if it could make some noise when I touch it. Ooh! :)

Add GPS, speakers, and volume buttons on the side and I agree with you.
 
So aren't you just wishing for a larger hard rive? The amount of songs it holds is really up to you. As you get more apps and documents you could just sync less music.

Large hard drive, lower price point, more useful apps.

If I am about to go spend $200 or more, I want something worthwild. otherwise I might as well stick with my 2004 antique model
 
It does, but my point is once you start loading document, apps, movies, etc. you lose space. What I am looking for is something that I will not have to carry my laptop around when I am on a w/e out. or on a week vacation. I want to hold about 3 movies, 200 songs, keep in touch with my email, and work on my documents.

90% of what I do is over the internet while i am away from home.

i have over 500 songs, tv shows, pictures, apps and musicvideos on my iPod Touch (16 GB) and i have still enough space left
 
Actually, I'm Canadian, but that's neither here nor there for this thread.

I have an iPod Touch, 6 months now, and I love it. The two features I would add if I was in charge of Apple (and sometimes I pretend I am) are speakers and improved location ability via GPS or better Wifi triangulation.
 
I read through this entire thread and by the time I got to the end, had totally forgotten that it was about someone's mother using an iTouch with GPS.
 
What would the benefits of N on the Touch or the iPhone be? Internet speeds for 99% of the users still is slower that the max speed of G...

For me the advantage would be to run my airport extreme network in N only mode so i can actually get full N speeds and not half.
 
I really don't like the new design. Not after it looks like a more tapered version of the 2G iPod nano. But I'll wait and see before judging for real.
 
I want physical volume controls too. I hate having to take my touch out of my pocket in the metro for fear of getting mugged haha. It's inconvenient too. I hope the make the buttons high quality like the 2G iPhone. I love the feel of those buttons!

It would be cool if they added a camera too. Imagine an 8 mm thin camera with a huge screen. It would be even cooler than an iPhone IMHO.
 
If they have cheapened the buttons on the Iphone, why would they make quality ones for the Itouch?

In all seriousness though, Arn could you please step in and maybe remove this thread? I know more members are a good thing for your site but this is becoming a bit riddiculous.
 
Awesome. Can't wait for the update. Hopefully iPod 5G will get an update and will finally be able to display videos and photos :)
 
Slightly thicker might mean we'll see a hard drive version of the iPod Touch... Or something else added, like GPS. Why else would Apple make a product thicker?
 
Just a question about the rounded back of the iPhone and upcoming iTouch: If you put it on a flat surface, would it wobble around like crazy? I could think of a couple of apps where that would be really annoying.

Anyway, the blueprints for the new iTouch look cool! I really like the external buttons on the iTouch. Not sure about the rounded back on the iTouch, though. Either way, I'm pretty sure I am going to buy this new iTouch. I can't wait until they officially announce the new iTouch soon! iTouch rocks!

iTouch iTouch iTouch!

Because they want to make up for the loss in volume caused by tapering?
