iPod touch The Next iPod Touch

I agree. 8 Gb for 199 is ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped the 8gb and replaced it with a 16 for 199

$99 for 8gb? Please Apple? Just once?

Best Buy employees know nothing. Why would they clear stock of the third generation ipod touch if they weren't going to release a new one until 2011? Where did he pull 90 GB out of? ive heard 8, 16, 32, 64, 128.

Amen.

Get rid of 8gb and replace with 16gb for the same price. I think that would increase sales a ton.

It does make sense. But if they made 8gb for $99, my iLife would be perfect.

That would be crazy, i guess 8gb for $149 would kinda make sense.

Sorry i wanted a longer post but my computer wont let me multi-quote!!!!!

I don't see the iTouch getting thicker. They fit two cameras into the iPhone 4. They can fit one into a slimmer design.
I will scream if they don't give us multitasking, folders, and the springboard customization. Sometimes Apple makes stupid mistakes, and that might be one of them. But it is VERY likely.
Better res is guaranteed. They say its a gaming device - this makes it a better gaming device.

How is 16gbs a step backwards?

Facetime might be likely though. On another thread someone pointed out that Mr. Jobs said (and I quote) "facetime devices". That might say that iMac, iTouch, and iPad just might be getting facetime. Possible, but maybe not possible. Not everyone has an iPhone 4.

I personally want them to make the iTouch wider. It is just too thin for my taste. Plus the iPhone 4 has TWO cameras, and as stated is the thinnest phone on the market.

Facetime is possible.

Already been mentioned... by me.

Wait, wider or thicker?

I predict Apple will hold their annual iPod event on either September 7th or 8th this year. After the event I think there will be a 16GB 3rd generation model for $199, a 32GB 4th generation model for $299 and 64GB 4th generation for $399.

You have NO FAITH in $199 4th gen! I can't save up for $299 if I want to get it at the release!!

16GB is dead. The 3rd gen doesn't even have a 16GB size. Get over it

I honestly think it would be stupid to not have 16gb version in the 4G lineup.

Can anybody tell me what a gyroscope will do?

I agree. We don't really need 32gbs of storage. Plus 128gbs is NOT LIKELY. It would reduse iPhone and iPad sales. They want us to get the iPhone for Phone use, iTouch for gaming, and iPad for kind of a "computer".

What?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??! Thats stupid, if theres no strong rumors about release date before November im buying a third gen.

I would have $200 - $230 by September. I might just sell my old iPod Touch and just use extra money to get the new one.

$149 would make more sense. But people that say they need to drop off the 8gb because its too little space need to buy a size up.

SD cards would solve this issue. I just can't wait until all the guessing is over. Anyone know a Apple Worker that could give us the details?

Seriously, 128gb would be ridiculous. iPad is supposed to be a tablet, but basically its just a huge ipod touch.

Same here. Course i dont have a ipod touch to sell but i think i can come up with it.

Yah, i think they will but as long as they get the 16 again im cool.

I doubt they'll have SD cards but we'll see.


YES, this is my 500th post!!!! Sorry i finally get an avatar now.

EDIT: How do i get an avatar? I go to the page but it doesnt give me the option even though i qualify for it.

Thanks for your replies regarding a 4th Gen. Touch. I really don't think a sales person at Best Buy is the best source for possible upgrade for the iPod Touch. He said it with such conviction that he was convinced he knew the whole story. I am going to just wait until this September and see what happens. If there is no upgrade by then, I will just purchase the Gen 3. But I am hoping a new model will be released this September.

According to the Buyer's Guide on this site they are recommending NOT purchasing an iPod Touch right now because an upgrade will be coming soon. I hope that is correct.

 

[liamkp]

Same here, i think it would be very stupid not to release one before Christmas, that would devastate sales; parents that would have been willing to buy a 4G if one came out probably have kids that already 3gs or 2gs, so they wont buy them, obviously. Anybody know how i can change my avatar?

YOU don't need 32 GB of space. for those of us with large movie collections or lossless music and lots of it, space gets eaten up quickly. i have a bunch of lossless albums on my 2nd gen 16gb touch and i only have like 4gb left. and that will get eaten up sooner or later.

Who really NEEDS 128gbs?? There must half of that you don't use!

Well NOW ya tell me! Haha, well no one told me about this site, I've ran across it a few times and finally decided to just join today. I got my iTouch in May so.. I'm guessing I SHOULDN'T of gotten it.

It would. Plus more rumors would come out and I'll go mad.
No clue how to change your avatar. Wait a little to see if the system will update soon.

Wait, wider or thicker?

Not wider! I'm sorry! I want half the size the 2nd gen to be added.

 

[liamkp]

I dont think Apple will make it thicker just for feel, maybe if they needed it to fit something else in. Cant wait till September.

Checking out the apple store:
iPod Touch Depth: 0.33 inches
iPhone 4 Depth: 0.37 inches

Camera - Very likely.

May be YOU dont need that much space, but with us with very large music collections and apps. Plus movies and TV shows it would come in handy. Most arnt like you. Most dont want to choose and decide what to put on there. They want everything on at all times and not have to worry about "oh I'm going on a road trip and I really want the series finale of LOST, but I also want this movie.... urh" no.

 

[liamkp]

I know alot people need the storage for lots of data, but i still think 128gbs is pretty ridiculous. I dont think they're going to have 128gbs if anything they'll probably make a 96gb or something.

 

[baryon]

Camera? Not unless the device gets thicker. Apple doesn't like thicker.
Multitasking-guaranteed it's in 4.0
Better res? Likely
Folders- guaranteed in 4.0
Change springboard- guaranteed in 4.0
16gb seems like a step backwards.

Remember that there was a camera on the iPod Touch but it was ditched just before release. So, it fit. The empty space for the camera is still there, in today's iPod Touches. Probably not the same 5 Mpx autofocus camera as the iPhone, but maybe a basic one like in the 3G or something.

I'm sure it will fully support iOS 4.0, this one is obvious, so multitasking, and everything else is obvious. Even the newest iPod Touch does that.

Better resolution... Maybe... It would make sense since most apps are now being converted for the retina display, it would be stupid to have to keep a lower resolution version just for the iPod Touch, though high-res could be backwards compatible and this might not be an issue.

Springboard: wtf is that?

16 GB? Why not? Doesn't the current iPod Touch come in 16 GB? And 8GB?

I know, the camera was confirmed, everybody says it wasnt, well, not everybody but alot.

It probably will come with it pre-installed.

Yah, alot of people are betting on a retina display which would be nice!

A springboard is your homescreens wallpaper, before iOS4, unless it was jailbroken your ipod touch's springboard had to be black.

No, the current one is 8/32/64. Just cause they were stupid enough to not include 16gb on the 3rd gen doesnt mean its a step backwards. I think they should include the 16gb model in their lineup for the same price as the 8gb now. Whether or not they still include the 8gb is unknown, even though everything is but still. Heres the lineup and pricing that i think is going to happen: 16/32/64/96-199/299/399/449. I think 128 is ridiculous.

 

[liamkp]

Since the college back to school deal is to get rid of the stock of older gen ipod touch's to make room for new ones, and it ends on the first week of September, wouldnt that make it most likely to be the release date for the new ipod touch?

Most dont want to choose and decide what to put on there. They want everything on at all times and not have to worry about "oh I'm going on a road trip and I really want the series finale of LOST, but I also want this movie.... urh" no.

I have a very large music collection, about 2TB of ripped movies/tv shows, as well as another 5K photos. I bought the 64GB thinking why sacrifice? I want it all with me as much as possible....right?

Not really. The fact of the matter is that 64GB is still very small compared to what I would want to put on it in order to have a 'complete' library of my stuff. We're a long way off in terms of flash storage to handle what I have, and mine is probably very small compared to many others.

So let's start with music. I put my whole collection on, and really found myself not listening to music much on my iPad. Maybe in the background is nice from time to time, but I'm usually watching a movie/TV show on the couch while I surf, and rarely dawns on me to crank up some music on the less than stellar speakers. This is iPod Touch territory 100% in terms of portability..why pay for the extra storage on an iPad and just buy an iPod Touch??

Let's go to movies. Like I said, I have 2TB's of ripped movies, which I'm never going to get all on the iPad anyway, so I will have to make a choice whether my iPad is the largest or smallest. Aside from that, there is always the 'Air Sharing HD' app that allows me to stream all of my movies from my PC, wifi, or if on the road, 3G. So, the only time that I can think of aside from that where I might need lots of entertaining movies, is a long >5 hour plane ride. In that case, surely I can pick 5 movies that will keep me entertained.

Finally, if we are talking about apps, they are so conveniently small, that you can fit quite a few without taking up too much space. I currently have about 100 apps, 10-15 of which I might use on a regular basis.

The moral of the story is that I sold my 64GB 3G ipad (for a profit actually), saved a couple hundred, and went with the 16GB 3G iPad. My eyes were bigger than my plate to speak initially, but to each his/her own.

iPod

There is alot of reasoning and patterns to the iPod line. I will be posting a video on youtube in the end of July posting the final thoughts on the coming iPods on September 2010. But here's one thought to why my video will be the most accurate information. Some wonder if there's going to be a 16gb. From the data I collected, the answer is No..Why? If you Notice the iPhone and iPod touch have similar patterns, when the iPhone design changes; iPhone 3G, so does the iPod touch; iPod touch 2nd Gen, when all the iPhone get is bumped up specs; iPhone 3GS, so does the iPod touch; iPod touch 3rd gen.
So if you noticed that when Apple released the iPhone 3GS, 16gb for $199 on fathers day, the 8gb iPhone 3G dropped to $99, When the iPhone 4 was released the iPhone 3GS 8gb dropped to $99. If you noticed when the price was dropped on the older model these models were in stock, they did not create a new model with the new specs and a lower price point. So in the 2009 iPod touch line up the 8gb iPod touch model was actually a 2nd Generation.
Because in 2009 the lowest gb on a 3rd Gen model is 32gb, Apple has only has 2 options for the 2010 Lineup.

They could to keep the 3rd gen 32gb Model and also sell a 4th gen 64gb 128gb-Which I do no think will happen-Or Just have two 4th gen models; a 32gb and a 64gb iPod touch.

This is my reasoning, if you would like to see my video, visit my channel in the end of July, for the 2010 iPod line up

If they're going to have 32gb as their baseline at the same price then theyre gonna lose some serious business. I still think the 16gb is going to come.
