I can't imagine someone wanting 128 GB of space on this class of device.

128GB would actually be a very good thing, especially for me. I have so much video, and that is what the iPod touch is best at. My 80GB 5th gen was chock full of video and it wasn't even holding my full library. My 16GB 1st gen touch is still not bad, but having to choose TV shows when I could rather have entire seasons, is not something I prefer.
 
agh. i hate waiting
:mad:
All Macs come with webcams built-in yet Apple hasn't established a business plan incorporating the webcam. If they want iPods/iPhones/iPads to become real computers, they will add a FaceTime cam just because it is an important feature.
I guess.
True, but the Touch is a device that can be used for the purchasing of other media. The Classic's only purpose is for the consumption of that media. Maybe it's just me, but I still buy a lot of music and other stuff from my Touch because it's really easy. Everyone who I know who has a lot of media, like 50+ GB, all get a Classic, and not a 64 GB Touch.
+1
Not until the second or third week of September.

Unless Steve Jobs pulls a fast one and makes it a "quiet upgrade" I doubt it ;)
LIES! We will see previews around August!

I guess. Even though that still is huge and many people wont buy it.
 
camera

i have already scene ipod touch 4g cases in stores, they all have a camera hole in the top middle area. so maybe there will be a camera in this version.
fingers crossed
 
What store? China Depot?

And liamkp, never in the history if iPod Touches, has there been pre-ordering available. So September 7th or 14th is the most accurate dates of announcement.

Where? How would they know in advance two months?

Sorry i really havent payed attention. Yah, but we will still see previews when it will be announced on Apples store.

Dont you love my avatar?
 
Err... There were NEVER previews of the iPod touch on Apple's website either until after they announce it. The Apple Online store is usually "Down For Maintenance" whenever there is an Apple event. ;)

And yes, very cute.

Actually this is wrong. A case could have the hole on top because the companies took into the consideration of the Ambient Light Sensor. I know this, because my case has a hole at the exact spot of the sensor...
 
I made a mockup of it out of the iPhone 4 pic, and it came out okay.

And yeah I know the knob is bad. I suck at that stuff. And see if you can spot all the differences.

Edit: oh yeah, i put the 128gb in there for no real reason
 
I personally think that the new iPod Touch will have a major refresh this September. I predict that the Apple iPod Event will be held September 8th this year, since it is the day after the Apple Back To School program ends, and last year the iPod Event was held the day after the Back To School program on the 9th of September. Here is what I think the new iPod Touch will have:

New Capacities: Comes in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. No 128GB model this year since the iPhone 4 didn't get a memory bump. Probably next year.
New Prices: 16GB-$199, 32GB-$249 or $279, $64GB-$349 or $379
Changed design: Possible aluminum enclosure similar to the iPad's design, or something similar to the iPhone 4 but not made out of glass, but more squared off. We will most likely see an updated design because Apple doesn't usually stick to the same design for 3 refreshes straight, as we have seen with the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS which had the same design for 2 years but then dramatically changed with the iPhone 4 with it's new design.
3.5" Retina 960x640 Resolution display on high end 32GB, 64GB models, same resolution 3.5" display on 16GB base model.
Gyroscope
Front facing camera (Steve Jobs noted that there would be 10 million FaceTime "DEVICES" sold this year) Which basically means, that there is a possibility that the new iPod Touch could have a FaceTime front facing camera on the higher end 32GB and 64GB models.
Possibe Rear Camera (Sources say the new iPod Touch 4G could have the iPhone 3GS's 3.2MP camera, and I strongly believe that the new iPod Touch will have it because if it had the new 5MP camera, it would have too many features borrowed from the iPhone 4.
Better Speaker
Built In Microphone on 32GB, 64GB models
Released On September 8th, 2010.
 
As we get closer to the estimated release date, we are all lowering our expectations like having a 4G for 199. Instead we are hoping for a base 229 or 249 model.

We are indeed hoping,but I still think the base 4G will be 32 @ $299.And it probably will have retina,A4 and gyro,maybe more RAM,and also maybe cams,but if it didn't have cams it wouldn't bother me.
 
Because I am selling, I am guaranteed to buy a 4G. It's just a matter of when and how much. I am willing to pay an additional 100 dollars to what I already have (200). If that's the case, 299 would be cool, and my parents offered to pay the tax. Let's just hope Apple decides to be nice and gives it to us for 249 or even 279. I would like a good case to match ;)

I changed it. Its even better now! I think youre jealous that i can have an avatar. ;)
i think he means leaks
That too...

Hmmmmm...

I'm definitely hopin' for 229.

Hmmmmm.... I'd like to have 229 because i have a TON of accessories i want to buy. Heres a list (any other ideas?).

Dock
Case
Y Headphone Splitter- http://cgi.ebay.com/GRIFFIN-Headpho...tem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ad7f010a7
Earphones
Wifi Router
Second Case- http://cgi.ebay.com/Waterproof-Wash...tem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item335be00870
Dock/Headphone Cover- http://cgi.ebay.com/Headphone-Jack-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45f289f652
 
Well my hit list is the following...

  • Speck Case (Hopefully they make Candyshell for Touch 4)
  • Crystal Screen Protector (Static=Re-Usable)
  • In-Ear Headphones with Microphone (Apple) (The ones from Skullcandy are expensive)
  • Dock (I have an iHome, but I want the Apple one to put beside my desktop)

Uhm, no, I am not jealous of your avatar... I hate cats ;)

It's possible some people don't want to be disappointed if the final product doesn't meet our expectations/wishlists. All of these expectations are just hopes and wishes. Apple doesn't want to tip their hand to an upgrade until the very last moment. Any confirmation would dry up sales of current models. We will probably find out in early September what the new iPod Touch will look like. I am crossing my fingers that some of the items on our wishlists will be on there.

Exactly, I bought a 8GB model because I thought it will be enough. But now I see that more would be nice, because I have more videos and photos than I planned/expected.
 
when will the ipod touch be released like on the day of the conference, a week after or wat day and how has it been the last 3 years

I want a RebelTouch, i love switcheasy.

You hate cats? Thats like hating life. And i was talking about me having the ability to have an avatar... not mine specifically. Do you hate Tom and Jerry too? Sorry about the off-topicness.

I'm not sure, i dont think i will use 8GB, but i would prefer to have 16GB just in case.

Everybody knows that when Apple confirms the "iPod Touch 4G Specs", this thread is going to stop buzzing, right? Well when that happens, i am going to transform this into a 5G thread, because its already popular.

2007: September 5th
2008: September 9th
2009: September 9th (the day after Apple's Back-To-School promotion ended)
My prediction for 2010: September 8th (also the day after their promotion ends)

If they follow with their previous schedule, the updated iPods will ship on the day of the keynote and arrive in stores a day or two later.
