When will the next ipod touch come out?

Need to upgrade it from my 3g ipod touch

Notice any pattern here?

They release a new model every year.

And like clockwork everyone gobbles it up like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. :roll:

With he advent of smartphones, full size dedicated MP3 players are going the way of the cassette walkman

That includes the ipod

True, but from what speculation I've heard that was supposed to be due to the recent Verizon iPhone 4 release. Apple might not have released the new version so immediately after the Verizon iPhone launch so as to not leave those customers feeling burned.

Its stillpointless and an unnecessary gadget when you just have a more powerful smartphone already.

An Iphone itself has more horse power under the hood, so no new Ipod will = new iphone

I mean I could maybe understand if you want an android & I device, but thats still a waste of money for most people, and a 2nd gadget to lob around.

You don't need a data plan, as you could always stick with wifi only.

Battery life really the same for the ipod touch series, except only the music playback only mode (which would produce good battery life on a smartphone too)

Smartphones have made large mp3 players obsolete.

They're faster, have better hardware, have 3g/4g options, and are often cheaper with a phone contract

You often don't have a choice in the matter. Carriers like AT&T and Verizon will only sell smartphones under contract with a data plan.

Yeah, but the problem is that you're sharing that battery life between your phone and media player. After a few hours of movies and Internet browsing you might not have enough juice to make a phone call. I know I have run into that problem on more than one occasion.

Eh, when it comes to audio quality, the best hardware is still found with some of the dedicated players (not the ipod though).

No expensive smartphone plans please. I'd rather keep my cheap go-phone and use a dedicated "mp3 + apps" player instead. Much better option. And yeah, iPod Touch 5 might be released in September if the usual pattern follows.

September, like clockwork.DJ_Lae

say what you want, but I love my itouch, and I won't wait around for someone to create a viable android alternative.

[QUOTE="ThePlothole"] Not everyone has or wants a smartphone. Even if they use a cellphone, they may not want to pay for the mandatory data plan. And some people are concerned with the limited battery life being shared among all these different things.Serraph105
