With this addition, i don’t know how the psp go system will be able to compete with the ipod touch. Both are considered gaming systems, but the ipod is cheaper, has the potential for more memory, has a touch screen, and now has a camera. It also has a faster processor than the psp go is going to have. The psp go is going to have a tough time selling in competition to this.

#3 - they have now posted a video which seems to disprove their previous doubts…

This is a strong possibility. Being that yet again Apple is giving away a iTouch with purchase of a Mac. Last time Apple did this, it was with the iPod Nanos, then that september, they announced a new iPod Nano soon to hit stores. So im sure there will be a new iTouch, And it wouldnt be that big of a surprise if it had a camera built in. Theres my two cents. haha

APPLE PLEASE GET RID OF THE CHROME!!! Just replace it with colored aluminum like what’s on the Nano, and it would look so much better. Not to mention being a thousand times more durable.

Do we also think they’ll do their usual memory upgrades, which seems to happen with each new generation of iPods?

I’m kind of siding with some out there- if they make it 64gb and priced at $400, I’ll probably be hooked into upgrading from my 16gb 1st gen.

My fear is that the touch will only have photographic capabilities, but not the video capabilities found in the iPhone.

lol… the iPod Touch is not a gaming system.  It is a multimedia device.  To call the Touch a gaming system is akin to calling a cellphone a gaming system because it can play some mini-games.

There are some user-generated minigames on the Touch and iPhone but they’re relatively simplistic in terms of gameplay.  The PSP and DS are gaming systems, they have actual games on it.

Until you see Square-Enic, Capcom, Konami, and etc. developing any games for the iPod Touch, no.

Anyone buying a iPod Touch to play games is a dumbass. LOL, to even call the iPod Touch a gaming system is hilarious.

If nothing radical has changed, then perhaps the Zune HD is the way to go.

@Tate

Actually Square Enix, Capcom and Konami all have games available on the iPhone\Touch.

Make it 16GB or 32GB with video and a better battery all under £200 and im upgrading my 1st gen which has been rendered useless by the 3.0 update.

Apple does’nt really have to worry about the Zune HD in the UK and Europe as its isn’t coming across the pond from you guys for some time and when it does Apple will probably be onto the 4th gen ipod touch anyway.

What I don’t understand is this. Why not put a camera in the front of the device so you can have a “SKYPE” conversation. Not really going to work to well with the itouch screen turned away from you.

It’s an iPod touch people, not an iTouch. Get it right FFS.

Hey trollymctroll, itouch is short for ipod touch or slang for it. BTW why are you so angry? Get a life. You know what everyone is talking about.

From the rumors and the confirmed rumors that I have read, I am going to assume these upgrades:

1) iPod Touch line - 16gb, 32gb, 64gb with the 64gb priced at $399
2) 5mega-pixel camera that can not only take stills, but also captures HD video
3) Upgraded hardware to match the iPhone 3Gs
4) Overall size will be same
5) New screen that limits or completely eradicates finger prints

The only real question I have.  Will Apple put the hardware for GPS in the new Touch.  TomTom just released information that they are compatible with the iPhone 3Gs and iTouch. It would be nice if iLounge or anyone else can provide what details they know about the possibility of GPS.

As with anything from Apple, you never know exactly what upgrades are happening until the hardware/software is released. In the end, we will have to wait until Sept. 9th to know for sure.
