- GPS

iPod touch 5G = iPhone 5 - 3g radio

In other words, two 3.5" tablets - one WiFi + 3G and the other WiFi only.

The requests I presented are basically features from iPhone4 minus GSM. Keep in mind iPhone5 gonna be improved over iPhone4. I wonder if it's gonna be the same leap in progress as to iPhone 3GS or only some minor changes hmmm....

There are lots of people who want a WiFi only iPhone; not the crippled version that Apple sells as the iPod touch.
 
I'm for one am really looking forward to gps. It doesn't rely on Internet or cellular services so that would fit in right with the Touch. And there is a category in the app store totally dedicated to navigation which currenly only iPhone and iPad users can really take advantage of.
 
Oh boy gps?

If snapple added gps to the iPod touch with no 3G bs? It would kill a lot of gps/flip cams out there :). But that won't be likely until the iPod touch 6. I think there actually heading to an all in one device literally all in one.

I can’t wait until they make one that can microwave Lean Cuisines and Hot Pockets for me.
 
GPS

replaceable battery (I can live with a seam or screws on the backside)

BETTER CAMERA, for GAWD'S SAKES!!

4" SCREEN with plenty of brightness and BETTER BLACK LEVELS (like what my Storm2 has, or even deeper blacks would be appreciated)
 
Come on.

Do you guys really think there will be that big of a difference between 4g and 5g? There might be just as much of a change from 2g to 3g. There isn't much to change. They MIGHT go past 32 gigs and MIGHT have OLED and a better camera, but thats about it. They aren't gonna add a bigger screen or 3G/4G or have 128 gig memory. Don't expect much, its Apple.
 
I will be a happy camper with the below:

  • Better camera.
  • No oleophobic coating (like it is now).
  • 16GB minimum capacity.
  • A simple non glossy back.

Exactly, this isn't too much to ask for and I am basically looking for the same new additions as you and more RAM would be good too.

I don't think that Apple will make a larger screen or 3D, these suggestions are just absurd.

128 GB for a portable device, WTF( Plenty of people is fine with 8 GB),if memory is that important just get a laptop then.

3G, dont think so there will always be a difference from iphone and itouch and 3G is one of the important features that influences people to get the iphone instead.
 
i think it is pretty obvious that it might come in white because the ipad 2
hint, hint
 
you think appple will put in a radio?, please they r not like that, its one thing for the nano because its so bad, but the ipod touch no way
 
I think we can expect a slightly better back camera and a boost in RAM. Hopefully they'll add a GPS chip as well.
 
How about a 7" iPad/ iPod Touch 5G with 1920x1280 Retina Display and Thunderbolt port to view 1080p video off ext Thunderbolt HDD. Also a mini-HDMI port to connect to HDSLRs to use as a 7" 1080p monitor.

no way, steve jobs even said they wouldnt make a smaller ipad and mini hdmi port would be a lot more expensive, just get the cable
 
My 2¢

Probably:
2.5+MP Back Camera
As always, .001 microns thinner, which is a HUGE deal.
16GB, 64GB, and 128GB options
Flatter bottoms, since holding the 4g is like holding a bar of soap
A5

Maybe:
4+MP Back Camera
GPS (Yes, it is functional without 3G, dumbasses)
Any Short-range communication the iPhone 5 gets.

Doubtfully, but a guy can dream, right?:
3G, or more doubtfully, 4G
512MB RAM (Please, Apple, Please, in the name of god, PLEASE give it more ram

Am I the only one who wants more than 128gb capacity? Sure i'll never listen/watch all of the music/movies in one trip, but its nice to have it all there if only for a backup.

Apple uses already SDXC in the Mac mini and some MacBook (Pro). They have written a ExFAT kernel extension (is part of >= 10.6.4 iirc), which is necessary to support SDXC-cards and the ExFAT file system on them. SDXC-cards can have a size of up to 2 TB.
