I'm not spending 600 bucks to upgrade to the iPhone 4! I'm not eligible for an upgrade, so the new touch will hold me over until iPhone 5. I'm so excited! The only things i wanted in iPhone 4 are the New Camera's, and Retina Display. HOPEFULLY the touch will have it.
Neither would i.
Wi-Fi is basically everywhere now
Yep.
I wish that were the case for me. I have it at home, but I don't have it at work nor is it available everywhere when I go on trips.
Restraunts, etc.
Not that specific site, but yes most of us have seen that part.
 
Will it have a Phone feature?

then will it be called iPod touch or iPhone touch

just a basic phone functionality not a 3G/EDGE/3.5G

is it even possible? i know in iPhone there is a setting to off the cellular data ...
 
It seems like the screen (in the photo on alibaba) is bigger

Eh, I don't think the Touch will ever have a bigger display than the iPhone, so I think were stuck with the same size and a possible Retina, but I'm not getting my hopes up. We will al know when September 8th or 9th arrives.

Yes i knowwwwwwww.An ipod touch can`t have better specs from the iPhone

Hey, I would be glad if the new Touch just got a front facing camera, but who knows? I think it will just get the 3.2MP iPhone 3GS camera, to differentiate from the iPhone 4, maybe no Retina either.
 
For those of you who have looked at the Alibaba link: If you zoom in on the black cable of the 2nd screen, one can almost distinguish the lettering "APPLE (C) 2010". I just noticed that after looking at it a second time.

Isnt there an app for Vonage that lets you use it as a phone?
Heh, I googled ipod touch 4g again and Redmond Pie's site displayed the same photo. Everything spreads so quickly on the Internet.
Yep.
Yeah, I haven't seen that same pic, but some similar to that. I think that the pic of the front of the iPod Touch is going be similar to the official 4G, I'm just excited when the leaked pics of the back of the new Touch come out, to see what it looks like.
Will it look like the iPad or the iPhone 4? Or a complete redesign. I just want them to get rid of the chrome backing.

I dont think so.

If it has only one camera it should be the back one, it will be used alot more. But if there is only one, it will be the front one for FaceTime which should be free.

I'll try. **Edit** Its too blurry. I cant see it.

If you're talking about the previous iPod touches, I think so too because there seems to be less space between the screen bounds and the edge of the digitizer compared to all previous iPod touches.

Hmm...

You think the active screen size is larger than the previous models? Ill look again. **Edit** I dont think that the white paperish material on the first one is measuring the actual screen size, its too good to be true. And i cant tell on the second one, it blends in too well. **Edit** Just FYI this thread has the 4th most responses in the iPod Touch forum, were going for #1! :D
 
I wonder if the new iPod touch will be a little bit faster than the iPhone. I seem to recall the 2nd gen iPod touch having more ram or something that was faster than the iPhone in it.

Yeah, on second look, I don't think the white paper represents the whole screen. But we'll know soon enough! :D
 
I just looked at the tech specs of the Touch vs the 3GS on apple.com and noticed that the Touch doesn't come near the 3GS in terms of battery life. Only 6 hours of video compared to 10. :eek: I hope they can make the battery life on par with the iPhone 4 in the new iteration. :(
 
So far, Apple has always made the current iPod Touch to mirror the iPhone design, albeit w/out a phone (and no camera w/ 3rd gen iPod Touch).

Actually I think they're more akin in terms of specs, not design. Although every time the iPhone gets a redesign, the iPod would get a redesign of it's own.
