Yep, just 3 hours left, and naturally I'm getting really excited for a new iPod.
Thanks!
I had almost stay up last night to see if they would change their website at midnight. I'm glad I didn't. lol

Sadly, I agree. I think Apple is making a mistake tho by crippling the iPod. There is absolutely ZERO danger of the iPod touch canabalizing the iPhone, So why not give it some kick ass specs? Get people excited about it again. Give it a camera that equals or even betters the iPhone's. Market it as the new best pocketable camera. Give it something to brag about. People would buy it in droves. Reenergize sagging sales.
I'm still gonna get one, because my iPod touch 5 died, but I hope Apple gives it more than just a faster processor.
A fast processor would be a pretty decent upgrade, though, as the current iPod Touch lags like hell with some games and web pages.
True. I'll take it. But I was just expressing what I think the untapped potential of the iPod touch could be. I think it's still relevant, and can live side by side with the iPhone without keeping it behind it. Apple is just missing a great opportunity here to create something special with the iPod touch. My hope is that they see it too, and not let the touch merely survive, when it can truly thrive.
The Touch would be better than the iPhone if they did that with its much cheaper price.
10:30 here in NYC, and no news. The Apple website isn't down. Maybe that July 14th rumor was just that, a rumor.
Days still early tho. Fingers crossed.

Isn't time for at least another 2 hours, though. So be patient, and it'll probably come.
Is there any record of this type of silent update (no Keynote) happening at 9:42 PDT? I thought most silent updates just appeared on the store overnight.
Well, it's only about an hour until we know for sure when the release time will be.
It could still come today. Somebody else said to me that one of the releases (an iMac one) happened around 6 PM his time (not sure what timezone, though).
The post in the other thread says that other silent updates usually happened at 6 AM (Pacific Time). I think it's time to give up hope for a change today.
FWIW I also just noticed that on the Apple home page "iPod" isn't even a category at the top anymore. You have to go to Store and then find iPod....
It's still the 14th. Maybe all the wait is is too much attention was paid to the normal release time.
Not going to happen today but hopefully we get a Touch 6 soon.
All A5 devices will be discontinued by this September.
They used to, they haven't updated the touch in a couple years though so any old patterns don't necessarily mean too much.
