New iPod touch coming soon?

hey guys i was looking up a gadget website www.gizmodo.com and came across an artical about a potential new ipod touch that comes with a camera since they found some suppliers already making a case for it.
any other bros out there heard about this news and does anyone recommend or suggest that i should get one?

I've heard about it too - I'd read that the camera was going to be about 2 megapixel, so didn't grab my interest (didn't read a proper article on it though, just another forum). I'll stick with my ipod classic

2 mega pixels is enough to get a close up of a wg and post it on here though

Why an ipod touch? Fork out abit more and you can get a iPhone 3GS with 3MP autofocus camera (video recording as well)... + 3G mobile internet so you can upload your photos as soon as they are taken ;)

well I rather buy an ipod touch without a camera than one with 2MP. It is almost like Apple is just trying get rid of the junk they stocked up for the Iphone. I wouldnt consider an Iphone ,because it is so overpriced.

ps. this was typed on my macbook so I am not an apple hater

if you don't have an ipod touch and you want one might as well get the new one. if you are looking to get it just for the camera then is not recommend. also the new ipod touch have all the same feature as the iphone except to make phone call . as for why not just get a 3gs is, one att signal is not all that great, 2 some people don't want to fork over 70 a month for the service

There are also rumours of an apple tablet if you look further in the sight. Most of them are speculation based on hunches, unless the rumour came from the WSJ I doubt them, although optimistic. But as the other bros said the iPhone > iTouch

I've heard rumors that there will no longer by anymore ipod shuffle.  Apple will soon be releasing newer models to try to redefine a market once again, the same way they have done with the ipod line of products.  Of course, being Apple, no one will know until a few months before releasing it.

well.. you can get the iPhone from the HK Apple Store... and its not locked to any carrier so you can use it with whoever you want.... or there's always the option of hacking the phone (jailbreaking) and unlocking it via hack (ultrasnow).. for me i got the iPhone because I cant be stuffed taking the ipod Touch together with a phone if i travel for work... besides the with the new GPS apps its becoming even handier

There are some features disabled if purchased from HK Apple Store and not using Three as the mobile phone provider. For example Internet tethering is not activated. So users have to download some apps from iTunes to get it working. Sneaky or what?

The iPhone is now Apple's cash cow whilst the iPod product line is starting to lose its attractiveness since its not as profitiable now which was highlighted from Apple's last financial performance report.

The new 3G S that came out also allows you to find your iPhone when you lose it.  It needs a subscription but it's very cool.  When you lose the iPhone, you can go online and make a call to your iPhone and have the person return it to you.  Also, you can also remotely erase all the information in your iPhone if it is not returned.  This feature is available in the USA.  Wonder if it is available in HK.

i know you could unlock the iphone but only still limited to you only tmobile. i'm not sure where are you from or what other service you have that use sim cards. in nyc the best service out there we have is verizon and they don't use sim card. so you are out of luck if you want to use an iphone. plus i notice alot of minor things that don't work as well when you unlock it compare to the lock version. plus for the 3gs price i know plenty of phone that is out there that have better specs.

Apple products follow a regular yearly update cycle, while everything about upcoming products is speculative the best thing you can do is just to buy the most recently updated one instead of holding out for the next generation.

Why would people want an ipod touch if there is an iphone?
Iphone has all functions of the ipod touch and you can call with it.

From what I've heard, this last 2nd quarter of 2009 was the first time Apple didn't see an increase in Ipod sales but instead a drop.  I guess everyone is getting an iPhone and have no use for Ipods.  I've already heard rumored that Apple will start to replace the Ipod line of music players with a new generation of devices they are hoping will revolutionize the market once again.  Maybe tablets.
