Many of you are saying that they can not install a rear facing camera because they simply don't have the space but you seem to be forgetting that :apple: has put a standard resolution camera on their iPod Nano(6.2mm) which is in fact thinner than the iPod touch(8.5mm) and they put it on one of the thinnest edges of the device. I'm POSITIVE that :apple: can at least put a 3.2 MP camera in the top center of their device without having too many complications, especially considering that they can fit a 5 MP camera in the iPhone 4 which is only .8 mm thicker than the ipod touch. as for facetime, although it would be convenient, i don't think it's necessary but i'm sure :apple: is considering it. And i really hope that apple updates the $199 iPod touch to 16gb. It was so stupid, cheap and selfish that they only made it 8 gb when the the rest are 32gb and 64gb. and As for the retina display, they BETTER intall it into the ipod touch because it would be EXTREMELY stupid if they don't
 
lol no it isn't a terrible thing to want a 16GB 4G Touch, he's agreeing with you that it would be nice if they were available at $199 because it might not happen

oh my god. I can`t buy the more expensive.
I have only 200$$

But Steve jobs said that they must drop the price that all people can get it .
I wish that it will be there an ipod touch for 199$

I want a 4G 16GB for $199, too.
 
Yes the most of people want the 16gb model.
it`s stupid that apple stop the 16gb model they must stop the 8gb and the models must be like this:

16gb/32gb/64gb
199/249or299/349or399
 
The new iPod touch is very predictable. It will just be identical to iPhone 4 without the phone and will be much thinner.

you think ??? it`ll be amazing if it was like the iphone 4 but thinner and without the phone and some other features like gyroscope
 
Why there WILL be a camera

The way I see it, this upgrade HAS TO include something worthwhile (camera, retina, et c). The market has become saturated with iPod touch 2G users. I know many people that will upgrade if and only if the 4G has a camera. I'm included in that group.

With that in mind, the 4G is a HUGE sale opportunity for Apple. If this thing doesn't have a camera, Apple can say goodbye to tons of people wanting an upgrade from their 2G (Refurb 3G, anyone?).

So, if they don't have a camera, a huge market will be lost. If they DO have a camera, it will stop about three people from buying the iP4. There's gonna be a camera.
:D
 
I'm also hoping for the 16GB at the $199 price point.

I'm also hoping (but not expecting) the $199 model to actually be 4G hardware, and won't be a 3G rollover. If that's the case i won't be tempted to jump up to whatever they have sitting at $299, but I guess that's why Apple does this in the first place. The old, "what's another $100?" mentality. In any case I might have to stay strong and stay base model. After all, I only want a PDA/organizer/time-killer that happens to play some media too. I already have a 160GB Classic that's my go-to, unstoppable, unfillable music machine.
Apple would be stupid not to make all of them 4gens.

i`m so stressed about september i want a good device not like the other years:apple::apple:
I'm so stressed too but I can't wait. When would be a good time to sell my touch? Not too soon but not too late...

it`s terrible to want a 16gb ipod touch 4g???
No he means that he wants a 16gb ipod touch to be 4g.

You have to sell it now.After it will be old
I sold my ipod nano on EBAY and i get 70 $
 
I need some help from you guys...

I have a iPod Touch 8GB 3rd Generation and I am looking to sell or trade it in for cash towards the upcoming 4th Generation iPod Touch.

Should I? The condition is brand new, the chrome has no scratches at all and the screen is looking new. The local Future Shop (Canadian version of Best Buy) is offering me 150 for it. Is it a good deal considering I bought this in March? Could 5 months take away 50 dollars even if it is in MINT condition?

Also, is selling it on eBay a good alternative? If it is, how is the experience? It will be my first time selling if I do decide to sell. Another question is, when is the best week to sell? 2 weeks prior to release? Even further?

Any help would be awesome, thanks!

I said you to sell it now.
because people don`t think about the ipod touch 4g.
hope that i help you.

16gb/32gb/64gb
199/249or299/349or399
Yep. I dont think they will have 249 for 32gb and 349 for 64gb.
The new iPod touch is very predictable. It will just be identical to iPhone 4 without the phone and will be much thinner.
Much thinner? Maybe a little bit but its most likely going to be somewhat thicker than the 3rd gen.

A camera is almost 100%, like said, many people would upgrade if they have a camera.

I dont think they will have a follow up for the 3rd gen.

Sell it soon. When they are confirmed/released they will decrease a lot.


I've noticed the buzz about a 128GB has stopped, why?
 
Thanks for the advice, I did some price shopping on eBay and the average price for my model is around 180 - 185 CAD dollars. That means, if Steve Jobs is nice, I would have to dump an extra 20 - 30 dollars for it, that's alright... I suppose?

When should I sell it, we are almost near mid July, and the iPod event is always the 2nd or 3rd Tuesday of September... Does this mean I should sell it mid August? Another factor is that I have millions of accessories with it (6 cases, 3 spare screen protectors) so I sell that off too or keep them until iPod Touch 4 comes out to see if it is compatible?

Also, a camera, any megapixel or such, will get me to buy this sucker. I've been craving a camera since last year around this time ;)

For me, it's the realization that if the iPhone got no increase, and still tops out at 32GB, it's highly doubtful the iPod Touch will get a memory boost that puts it at 4x the size of the largest iPhone.

If the iPhone got a 64GB bump, I think a lot more people could feasibly see a 128GB Touch on the horizon.

I also think the price structure would force them to price a 128GB in a totally new, more expensive price point.

Something like 16/32/64/128 priced at 199/299/399/499.

$499 is a wild amount to drop on an iPod.

Maybe 128GB for next year though.

Hmmmmmm....

If you want maximum value then you should probably sell it now, but you would have to deal with separation. ;)

You might keep the screen protectors (like 2), and sell the cases because if it has a back camera then it wont be compatible.

You should probably wait until the confirmed design comes out though.
 
who said that a 16gb 4g model will be there fro 199$.
i'm doubt
Im hoping on 199 4G 16GB ipod touch but im doubtful too.

Heres what i think might happen: 199 3G 16gb, 199 8GB 4G. Hopefully im wrong. :(

Didnt think about that.

iPad is $499 for 8GB.

But if you want nice storage then get a classic.







I'm thinking about getting an 8GB if possible, and then getting something else for my music.
