The new iPod Touch supposedly has the same chip as the 5S and iPad 2 (A5 chip). I like my iPad secodn generation, but I more than often find myself going back to my iPhone for quite nearly everything since I prefer using one hand when possible to work with the smaller screen. My sighted wife mainly uses my iPad now because of the visual aspects. The one app I absolutely prefer on my iPad than the iPhone and I would imagine it would be the same for the iPod touch is FeeddLer because it can show up to 100 rss entries at a time instead of the 20 items on an iPhone.
If it weren't for my wife using the iPad so much, I'd give serious consideration of selling the tablet (64 GB) and maybe scoring one or two iPods if not the iPad mini depending on what it'll contain.

It will be interesting to see if the new ones are as responsive as the iPhone is.

I too am curious to see what may or may not be included in the mythical iPad Mini and if the differences aren't all that much or if they're more visually aspect driven which would make the most sense, then I would give serious consideration to getting a new iPod.

In short, it is a major update, in my opinion much more so than that between the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. I guess it's more like the difference between the iPhone 4 and 5. The main things are that the new iPod Touch line now has the larger 4 inch retina screen same as the iPhone 5, they have the A5 processor same as the iPhone 4S, the front camera is 720P High definition and the back camera went to a 5 Megapixel auto focus which is a huge improvement. It also has the new small dock connector and the improved dual band WiFi and on top of all that it has SIRI. Those are the main things, another nice feature is that it comes with a detacheable wrist strap and the new ear pod headphones. Still 16, 32 and 64 Gig for same price as old iPod 4th Gen, $199, $299 and $399, respectively. I have a unlocked 4S without contract, but I don't see much point in upgrading to the iPhone 5, but when I bought my first iPhone 2 years ago I sold my iPod Touch Third Generation, now I will most likely buy a 64 Gig fifth Generation again to use at home and as a companion device to my iPhone. Only thing that might change my mind is the iPad Mini which will possibly be announced in October so I probably will wait to see how much Apple Goodness will be inside that one.
