This 3 month wait for this update was long enough, I'm going to buy one as soon as possible now. But was there seriously no update on the battery life or speakers?
Got a tip for us?

I've waited a year, after being disappointed with the last update as well. And I'm still not biting.
There are two (2) whole new features
1. Capacity increase. 16GB now 32GB, 32GB now 64GB.
2. Faster processor. Unless the old one wasn't fast enough for you or something, this is worthless. Apple probably did it because it was more expensive not to phase out an outdated processor.

...there seems to be no update to the battery life & speakers - something isn't adding up here 😕
They may, in fact, had a production problem, and will release a new Touch at a later date...
...that is my two sense 😉

Many of the new apps (games in particular) need the faster processor. If you don't plan on buying the newer games from the app store, the older processor should be fine.

Then maybe you should be still using it?
My point was that you don't buy something purely for its faster speed if you don't need its faster speed. Or do you? 😕

WOW! SO much faster! 🙄

Why don't you read about what the processor architecture changes actually did before using that emoticon, smart guy. You may be pleasantly surprised.
