If the plastic doesn't go, neither does my money.

Wow, its really THAT much of a deal breaker to you? What if they went back to the same form of the 2g, but instead of metal it was plastic? They may keep plastic backings to keep signal strength intact.
Actually it is a word:
usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose...
from... Webster
Irregardless, it's still annoying...
And I will be so disappointed if the new iPhone isn't an improved design over the 3G glossy plastic
Not to beat this horse to death but, it may be a "word" but it is an incorrect word; another example of how American slang becomes so ubiquitous that the majority takes it as proper usage. According to my dictionary:
Now we can put this to rest and move on to the topic at hand.
A Shuffle with a camera and GPS! Because life is random....
You could set the camera on "whenever" mode and it would snap off pictures at random intervals.
Not trying to be a jerk but i'm a grammar nazi, so please put up with me.
"Irregardless" doesn't make sense. It would be "regardless".
Actually, while being a non-standard word, and a double-negative of sorts, it simply means "not without regard" or anyways or in spite of. Besides, horrible words like ain't and creatures of ebonics
seeped into vernacular despite the watchful eye of grammar-mongers like yourself. P.S. I tend to agree with you and do not approve the use of stupid words.
Let's elevate the English language to the level it used to be. We've dropped who knows how many levels since Edwardian times.
...except BE a $%$^ PHONE!!!!! <raises voice for comedic effect>
Very comedic indeed.
So a quick hypothetical:
They give the iPod Touch EVERY feature an iPhone can do, only any iPhone can naturally make calls.
You would abandon your old phone, pay 30$ more a month on your service, and get horrible voice quality, JUST because its a phone?
I PERSONALLY would get an iPod Touch, have no commitment or contract, and keep my current phone. You know, so I can actually hear what the other person is saying.
Hmmm
hmmm.... my iPhone has better voice call sound than my BB 8900 did... no problems here!

To quote Stewie Griffin: "Any person who uses the words "irregardless", "a-whole-nuther", "all-of-a-sudden" will be sent to a work camps."
End of argument.
Project Charlie
Not even a metal option?
And Project Charlie? WTH???
I love it. Shuffle jokes just never get old do they!?

I lost my 2G iPod Touch and I'm not replacing it until the next version is released. I'm really hoping for a camera and GPS capabilities. The camera would add a very nice touch for people that want to send pictures through email since the iPod Touch has built in Wifi.
I don't know why many people are so concerned that the iPod Touch would trump sales of the iPhone if the iPod had all the same features accept the phone part? Why should anyone care? It's Apple's decision and concern. We are the customer, it just gives us more choice.
I plan on using new my iPod Touch as a Skype phone so I wouldn't be buying the iPhone anyway.

Camera would be very welcome to me on iPod Touch - but add GPS too
I have had numerous iPods and find myself using the iPod Touch more and more like an Internet device. A camera would be welcome in my opinion. At this point I can't afford the hefty monthly service charges of the iPhone and I do really like the iPod Touch. I think adding GPS to the iPod Touch would be even a better addition - would come in very handy in the car.

as does mine, even on EDGE. same on 3G.
skype is great aswell (not that it has to do with carrier quality)
Personally, I'm in the same boat. However, I can understand why many people would want to carry one gizmo instead of two-- and why others would prefer the alternative. In any case, it makes perfect sense that Apple would offer an iPod Touch both with and without a phone option (which is essentially what they are doing). The iPod is what is at the heart of Apple's consumer strategy-- the phone is just an add-on capability to cover the market. Think of it this way-- just as Microsoft's goal was once to "own the desktop", Apple's goal is to "own the pocket."
Nothing like the smell of napalm in the morning!
The App Store is a huge success. Apps run on both the iPhone and touch.
Maybe we will see the iPod touch with it's feature set. Then the iPhone with the addition of the phone part.
Photo & Video capabilities would be amazing
If the touch got photo and video capabilities with the option to upload to YouTube or a server, this would be incredible. Especially if there is some basic editing software built in, it would be revolutionary to home video. The touch rocks already, this would make it SO much better.
