iPod touch iPod Touch 5G - Wishlist!

[1458279]

Nobody mentioned a mini USB or SD slot. I'd be nice to have memory upgrade without having to purchase a new device, as well as that would open it up for so many other devices.

As far as the screen goes, I think it's really impressive resolution right now. The camera, yea it sucks, I've got a $19 2 year old phone that has a better camera. I'm sure they'll upgrade the camera.

Daul core?

Daul core?

what's daul core?

what's daul core?

In the current CPU there is only 1 core for doing tasks etc. Daul Core means there are two of them which makes the CPU more effective in performance and battery life. The first Daul Core phones are coming out later this month/next month (I think)

Some good ideas here. I'd like to see Apple let the Bluetooth radio communicate with BT GPS units without having to jailbreak. BT GPS units are (generally) cheaper than iPod serial solutions.

Quad-core with 500G volume and 4G RAM and Independent video memory, oops! maybe I am talking about Macbook, but I wish the 4+N generation can get such configuration.

5)Oleophobic coating on the screen

All right, I am going to show my ignorance here, and no, I haven't googled it yet ... but this sounds like someone that is afraid of margarine. Am I right??

Better GPU

Tetiary Ones:
Better Speaker
Better Camera 3.2MP/ LED Flash
Increased Audio Quality
Vibration for Push Messaging

Unrealistic requests

iPhone 5

I think the iPhone 5 should have,

1. instead of 16GB and 32GB flash memory it could have 64GB and 128GB it would make more sense because people run out of space pretty quickly.

2. Also on that subject the more apps people are gonna have the more it will lag scrolling through pages and opening folders also opening apps. So it would be a good idea to have more RAM if that was going to happen.

It will be 32Gb and 64gb

more ram for sure.

btw ipod touch not iphone

 

[DeathToAnAngel]

my wishlist

1.) Better Camera - i agree just make it better 2 - 3MP
2.) Flash - on almost everyone wishlist and at least be allowed to turn it on and off
3.) Better Design - im typing this on my 4G unjailbroken (ill do that later) and holding it is uncomfortable and make it at least like the iPhone 4 design thats nice to hold
4.) Bigger capacity - have it range from 32GB, 100GB and 150GB. Hate having a 8GB iPod
I cant think of anything else quote me for your thoughts and thanks to OldCorpse for making this thread (gotta give 'em ups)

I would really like to see a better camera quality + flash.

Well with the new Apple A5 chip, it's almost a given that we will likely get
Dual Core CPU + Better GPU, 512MB RAM is a Maybe...

But with no increase in Capacity on the iPad I ain't holding my breath...for a much larger capacity iPod Touch...

Ipod 5g wishlist

I think the new ipod touch should be 3D. But without the glasses. I also think the screen should be stronger. I also think that in the box it comes in there should be a white apple case for it. Just to save them from getting people always complaining about it breaking.

 

[syc23]

I hope Apple won't add a '3D' display on any of their iDevices - it's useless and gimmicky and doesn't add anything to the experience other than making what's essentially a 2D display 'pop out' a little. Wow. Not.

 

[J-Kid]

if were posting wishes this is mine.
New ipod has an iUnicorn maker that spits out unicorns whenever i want. Apple this is the future taking your unicorn to work

 

[L I G H T I N G]

Realistic Wishes

16 GB base model
Camera increases to 3 MP or better
A5 Processor
Aluminium back like iphone 4

Unrealistic Wishes

IPS screen technology
GPS
AM/FM tuner
Dual core A5 Processor

 

[juanml82]

Realistic (and likely)
The Ipad 2 hardware
A better camera

Less likely
A us$ 2 led flash for the (better) camera
A us$ 5 FM tuner
GPS, or at least something like Roqy BT integrated (I guess Apple is more likely to try to stop it from working instead)

Unlikely
Louder speakers
Cheap TV out
Expandable memory
USB port for connecting peripherals to the Ipod. IE, a cheap usb keyboard, an usb tv tuner, an external HD, a 3G/4G modem and a lot more. Oh, and without authenticy chip (aka Apple tax)
Full flash support
User replaceable battery

To be honest, the GPS will not likely come. This is for a very simple reason: The iPhone and iPad 3G use the telephony system to assist the searching of GPS satellites. Without A-GPS, the GPS chip will either be a power drain (huge signal strength so it can reach more satellites) or it will be really slow to find sats./really unstable signal. At least that's my understanding of A-GPS.

A magnetometer doesn't really do much, does it? It was just a fun thing to add into iPhone 3GS. Though I'd love to have it...

The camera will likely be bumped up to at least 2MP. Why? Because it's likely Apple will give us 1080p Video Recording in iPhone/iPod touch 5. 1920x1080 is a little more than 2 megapixels. That is, if they don't give us a good still sensor.

And I really hope there's Autofocus. Because I'd hate to hold up my magnifier just to take macro shots. I am happy with my dSLR and I don't need really close macro shots, but hey, I want to take non-unfocused shots of my documents and such.
(And while they're at it, macro shots are better with more MPs. I want more.)

A5 is definitely coming, IPS screen maybe. And the typical shrink-down-to-impossibly-thin craze and so on.

Just a realistic look.

Hopefully just some minor changes that Steve will announce to be revolutionary and will change the way we listen to music, forever.

Dual Core A5 and ipad 2 gpu or better and vibration

 

[gkarris]

Oh hey, look. Another one of these threads.

There are a thousand other threads that are exactly the same. Couldn't you have simply posted in one of those?

Where the wish list is for 32 Gigs and a nicer screen and camera?



Sometimes it helps to put a month/year or what the OP did - put the generation in the title to differentiate...

GPS and compass would be nice...

 

[xStep]

Find me a Mp3 player that has two cameras.

Done. The iPod touch from Apple!

From most-wanted to least-wanted:

• A5. Even if it needs to be clocked down a little bit, I couldn't imagine the iPod Touch selling nearly as well if it lagged greatly behind the iPhone and iPad performance-wise. This could work to their advantage and drive people to the iPad, or it could just drive people to find something else. Personally, I prefer the Touch to the iPad due to the form factor, yet still being able to do everything I'd like.
• 16GB base model. 8GB is okay if all you do is app-related, but I'm finding myself using the iPod for a lot more than I expected. (Admittedly, partly due to jailbreaking it. Gotta love MxTube.) I cycle my media so it's not too big a bother, but it'd still be nice.
• Mute switch/button. Good lord, I hate having to dig through menus to mute the thing entirely! Nothing like getting a notification somewhere you'd like it to be completely silent and realizing you forgot to mute the alerts. Alternately, it could be a configurable switch like the iPad 2 has...
• 3G model. Okay, I personally wouldn't use one, but for those who don't want a full-on phone (or have another), but still wish for internet access on the go. Of course, we'd want a wifi-only model as well, just like the iPad.
• 512MB of RAM. This is low on the list since, well... I haven't encountered any performance issues with the iPod's 256MB.
• Camera improvement. I, personally, find the iPod Touch camera as it is now, rather decent. Low-res, but since I usually shrink my photos to 512x384 before sharing... (okay, old practice from the 56k days... but eh.) Perhaps even a camera like the 3G/3GS would work - some people seem to quite like the 3GS's camera, from what I can tell!

Granted, only the lack of a button/switch and the 8GB capacity instead of 16 are the only things that truly bother me... most of these are evolutionary changes I'd really hope the line gets to keep it selling well and competitive. Not surprised all of the concerns I had were addressed before, actually...
