I want to purchase an Ipod touch. Should I wait for the 3rd generation to come out or purchase the 2nd generation now?

For the last time, this is NOT the 3rd generation...
...that said, it doesn't mean that there will be another release anytime soon. Buy it now, you'll get to spend more time enjoying your touch instead of waiting a few weeks for the same thing you could've had weeks earlier.
Sorry, but YES, IT IS the 3G.
it is the 3rd generation but it is the Late 2009 version?
What does that mean? the hell should I know but the last time they did this was with the classic
Fifth Generation iPod (Late 2006)
September 12,2006
Ipod clasic
September 05, 2007
so the new iPod was still released in september so don't expect a new iPod touch before september
It is the third generation because it's newer than the second generation touch and has different and upgraded hardware aswell setting it apart. Apple doesn't call it 3g because it would confuse people over the 3g mobile phone networks that use that name.
In your mind will the next iteration of the touch be the 3rd generation then? I'm guessing not.
Don't be so snide.
You obviously didn't click the links. In Apple's support documents: No mention of iPod touch 3G anywhere, but there's mention of iPod nano 2G/3G/4G/5G. Get over it. This isn't the 3rd generation, but that doesn't mean there is going to be another mid-cycle update.
pple doesn't call it 3g because it would confuse people over the 3g mobile phone networks that use that name.
They do the same thing with the iPod Classic, iMacs, Mac Pros, Macbooks, Macbook Pros and Mac Mini. I've mentioned this in like 3 or 4 threads now. Just because it says "Late 2009" Doesn't mean that it is not the 3rd Generation. All it is is how Apple names things, thats just how it is.
