iPod touch The Next iPod Touch

Personally, id like a redesign, then chrome backs are out, the iPod nano has dropped them, time for the iPod touch to follow, i do like the new iPhone design, and if implemented here, could look really good
I think however that Apple may also like to go for an iPad style design, guess we'll just have to wait and see though
The Zune App And Game Store consists of 24 apps and games, which is pathetic, the Android App Market I believe has a little over 100,000 apps. The iTunes App Store is huge at about 250,000 apps.
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.
you guys don't understand that they were able to put 2 cameras in the iphone 4 because the 3g was a brick (trust me i had it for 2 years). So yeah after 2 years of the same design they were able to make it really slim compared to a outdated model every 18 months silicon gets twice as much space in the same size.
With the ipod touch its not that easy. The ipod touch is a very slim device already and the simple fact is just like the ipod nano a still motion/video camera just can not fit in a device that thin.
Yeah they could put two cameras in the touch but that would mean they would be .7 megapixel only video cameras. which i just can't see apple doing it's either all or nothing.
I see them making it slightly thicker barely noticeable and putting in a really nice 3.2 megapixel from the 3gs no flash and by making it thicker they might put in a front facing camera.
oh and i see the baseline model weather 8 or 16 gigs being the same design as the current 3rd generation 32/64 but with less gigage. then the 32/64 having the new design with camera(s)
While we are dreaming, lets make the back out of gold and the case out of unobtainium.
Last one before we get backon topic. How about one that is soo thin and strong, and amazing, that it is just a glass screen digitizer and camera and looked perfect?
I'm rather surprised that not as many people desire higher storage capacity for 4G. I have a 64 GB 3G that is full to capacity and I would buy a 128 GB Touch even IF there were no other new features. That being said, I think Apple is going to surprise us with some tantalizing new stuff this go-around. Correction: I KNOW they will. Some of you get it - each device fills a niche that the other products can't fill. An iPod Touch as a small iPad or a phoneless iPhone would be adverse to Apple's mantra: create a necessity. The iPod made Apple what it is, and will do so again this September.
There should be a poll "Which valuable metal will the next ipod be made of"
Also, how likely is the 128 GB touch if that would cost about $200 to put into it?
Now? I say 10%. Next year? I say 70%. The year after the next? 95%. iPad 2 with 128 Gb? I say 99%.

Yeah more polls, like will the name be iPad Mini?
I totally agree with your statement about each product filling a specific niche. I have been thinking that ever since I have been reading the wishlists for the 4G iPod Touch.
