To the person who posted about the Best Buy employee, I think the best buy employee is probably saying that so they can clear stock of the old iPods to make room for the new ones, if they told everyone a new iPod touch was coming in September no one would buy them now, so they are telling customers that there is no new iPod touch coming so they will buy one of the current models just to get a sale.

I think we can safely say death to the 8GB touch this time around, the line will either start at 16GB or 32GB, however they may keep the current 8GB and reduce the price to $149 or $99. I cannot see Apple making a new gen 8GB though.

Well let's look at the last 3 years of iPhone iPod touch they have never really shared the same specs hears my honest list of what I belive apple will do with the iPod touch:
no A4 to much space to much power
retina display in your dreams
rear facing camera are you guys still on about the camera you lot say it every year it ain't gonna happen
no new design the iPhone 4's design wood look awful if it was any thinner plus the volume controls will be to big to allow the iPod to be as thin as it is now
front facing camera is likely but that will be the only camera
cromatic backs likely
64gb max probably
no more ram
this is the year that the iPods and the iPhones are going to be diversified
so get over it the iPod touch will never be anyway near as good as the iPhone for one major reason apple wants you to buy the more expensive product. Either lump it or buy an iPhone 4

Excuse me, but you're an idiot. There has to be two cameras. Everyones saying they confirmed it last year, and at the lat minute scratched the idea, so there's no way there is a camera tHis year. If anything, the fact that they didn't have it cast year makes it absolutely definite this year.

The iPod touch is for kids mostly, and no kids are buying it for a front facing camera genius. When his Jobs-ness announced FaceTime, he said 10 million FaceTime devices by the end of the year. That says the touch will have cameras, front and back. And to power all this new stuff, including all the new features of iOS 4, they need an A4 chip

Seriously the camera ain't gonna happen

They Ditched it last year supposely because it wasn't capable of being produced so it ain't gonna happen it's to thin to have both and a front camera is the better option the iPod camera story last year was only about one camera. And if they were to put a camera on the back it would not be a 5 megapixle camera probably a 2 megapixle or maybe a 3 A4 why would apple put it in they have no reason to the iPhone must be ahead of the iPod and retina display that is the new major feature for the iPhone they only put one feature from the next gen iPhone into the next gen iPod , iPhone 3g -iPod 2g new design, iPhone 3gs - iPod 3rd gen faster proccesor, iPhone 4 - iPod 4th gen facetime
oh on the matter of ur comment about the iPod touch not having a camera last year meaining it will have one this year that's what they said before the 3rd gen was released and before the second gen was released yeh it's either facetime or apple A4 retina display no chance that's iPhone 4s and it will be for along time
on the design front I think it will look like the ipad not the iPhone because they are more of a similar product. The iPhone is fundamentaly a phone the iPod is a PDA and the ipad is a giant PDA and maybe that design would allow the iPod to be thicker but not make it look fat

oh finally if the iPhone 4 is packed how the heck are they gonna fit the same specs in the ipod touch

the best out come
2/3 megapixle camera back
video calling
ipad like design
64gb hardrive
same 600 MHz processor
but that's looking at the size ,past history ,clever marketing

For how nice it would be to have a 8GB touch for $99 that IS the new gen, I don't think its very possible. They might update the 8GB to the 3rd gen and sell that for $99 ... but you know Apple.

This is how I could see the prices: 8/16/32/64 - 99/199/299/399

Now don't yell at me.

Same here.

Honestly i dont really care as long as they have a 16gb or 32gb for $199. A 32gb would be especially nice.

+1

I think if they have the 8gb at all it would be $149.

Copier much? Yah, i saw your sig, dont try and be sneaky.

Wait for the school promo to end in September and Apple will release a new iPod Touch in September/October. It has become their yearly ritual.

Most likely.

Well it wont be a phone. It may mock the iPhone 4s chasis but it will just the the iPod touch.

I think we are due for a redesign. We had the same chasis since 2008.

Same here, they need to ditch the chrome.

Actually you misunserstood me. I know it isn't be a phone, I was wondering if it will look like the iPhone 4. I hope it will, though.

The square design would be nice.

Well, let's get this all figured out: the iPod touch 4 will look like the iPhone 4, and have some great updates and changes to the whole iPod. I think that pretty much sums everything up.

Also, it will be shipped with iOS4.

That was me that wrote about the BB employee telling me no new iPod Touch until Sept 2011. I have taken his advise, like a lot of advise I get from BB, with a grain of salt. As I said in my previous posting, he was giving me this information with such conviction, he, at least, is convinced this is the truth.

Thanks to all of you for helping me decide to wait until Sept to see what happens.

I dobut hes telling you the truth. as said above he said that so you would buy one right then and there. They do that. Just to make a sale.

Best buyn is a hit and miss. I like them but I also hate them. Some locations dont get the meaning "no, I'm fine thank you"

That's not the only place, but it all depends on the people serving you.

I'd be surprised if they don't release it in September or sooner. It's kinda a tradition, and, as mentioned before, that's when the college deal ends.

There's a 100% chance of a new iPod touch in Sept of 2010. Not even Apple employees would have that kind of inside information. Don't be fooled by his "conviction" and don't even take his advice with a grain of salt. Just don't listen to him at all. If you need some evidence, it's that the iPod touch (albeit the 8gb 2g) is being heavily promoted with the Back to School promo, meaning they're clearing stock. I assume the 3g iPod touch will continue to be sold alongside the 4g, much like the iPhone and the current iPod Touch offerings.

 

[JohnSFO]

Wifi only and wifi + 3G on the next Touch. It's been a hit on the iPad.

 

[tuamtuem]

I'm pretty sure that new iPod touch will has retina display and integrated camera + A4 chip. As you may know, the iOS4 works great with A4, so Job has to integrate it into new iPod touch. I think the differentiate of technical spec between new gen iPod touch and iPhone 4 is RAM capacity (iPhone4 = 512 and iTouch = 256).

 

[TuffLuffJimmy]

The new iPod touch will for sure have a front facing camera. Remember what Steve said, "10 million FaceTime devices" << or something like that.

 

[VTECaddict]

IMO, they should definitely make an iPod Touch with the A4 + 5mp/720p rear camera + front camera.

It doesn't need to be on every model. They can keep the 3rd gen iPod touch as the $199 model (maybe with a capacity cut to 16gb), then have the 4th gen iPod touch with the iPhone 4 goodies at the higher price points.

Not my intention of turning this into an iPhone discussion but...

I had a similar conversation with some kid at Verizon. He overheard me talking about the iPhone (about month or so ago) and was kind of obnoxiously saying, "You won't see the iPhone on Verizon until at least 2013. It's confirmed pal." To which I played it off and didn't wanna stir up any rough waters in there, but OBVIOUSLY even if there WOULD be a Verizon iPhone (in the near or not-so near future), they want to sell the Android and Blackberry since that's the product they have now and they want you to believe that they're not getting the iPhone for a while so you'll cave and get an Android and they'll make money.

Hence a similar situation with BB trying to sell you what they have now...2nd and 3rd gen iPod Touches.

Same thing happened with the iPhone...we all knew the new iPhone was coming out, so they lowered the prices and made you able to buy one with a contract for the massive price tag.......in regards to the phone, it's like my boss' "party in the stomach" routine. "Alright, everybody (the old iPhones and Touches) get out!!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g0AJPqKybs#t=4m04s

I think the differentiate of technical spec between new gen iPod touch and iPhone 4 is RAM capacity (iPhone4 = 512 and iTouch = 256).

I'm kinda conflicted on the whole front facing camera thing, i think the back camera will definitely be there, but maybe not the front.

The new iPod touch will for sure have a front facing camera. Remember what Steve said, "10 million FaceTime devices" << or something like that.

That means there would have to be an app for that.

IMO, they should definitely make an iPod Touch with the A4 + 5mp/720p rear camera + front camera.

I think A4's gonna be there, again not sure about the camera. I guess we'll all see around August(previews/pre-orders).

So I have an iPod touch 3G. Do you guys think the usual "sell right before the update" will apply? So many people seem to be uninformed about the September update, so I'm guessing I could get $220-$250 for my 32GB.

I must have the iPhone's display. At least to hold me over until a Verizon iPhone.
