Here's the info on the 5th generation Ipod touch:
Apple has unveiled its next-generation iPod touch
. It looks like an iPhone 5
, with the same 4 inch, 1136 x 640 pixel display. But the 5th-generation
iPod touch
doesn’t make phone calls, it’s even thinner than the new iPhone, and it has
a last-generation processor.
that’s because the new iPod touch has a faster processor, bigger screen, and
a
better camera, among other improvements.
The 5th-gen iPod touch measures 6.1mm (0.24 inches) thick and weighs 88
grams (3.1 ounces). It’s the thinnest and lightest iPod touch to date, even
though it has the largest screen yet.
It’s powered by an Apple A5 processor — much like the iPad 2 or the iPhone
4. That’s a step up from the 4th generation iPod touch, which has an A4
chip,
but it falls short of the new A6 processor in the iPhone 5. Apple says that
chip offers twice the graphics and CPU performance of an A5.
Apple says the iPod touch is the “world’s most popular” media player, and
also portable gaming device — and the new dual core chip should help boost
gaming performance.
The new iPod touch has a 5MP camera, LED flash and autofocus — features
which weren’t available on the fixed-focus camera on the last iPod touch.
Apple is also included a panorama mode and support for 1080p HD video
recording with the rear camera.
Like the iPhone 5, there’s a new FaceTime HD front-facing camera which can
shoot 720p video, and the company has added an optional wrist strap which
comes
in handy if you plan to use the iPod touch as a point-and-shoot camera, or
hand
it to your kid for mobile gaming.
Apple is adding Bluetooth 4.0 to the iPod touch, along with dual-channel
802.11a/b/g/n WiFi.
The iPod touch also now gets AirPlay mirroring support, letting you pair the
device with an Apple TV to stream games, videos, or other content to a TV.
And for the first time, you can now use Siri voice recognition on the iPod
touch.
Apple iPod touch 5th gen
Apple will offer 5 color options: yellow, pink, blue, black, and white.
The 5th-gen iPod touch goes up for pre-order this week and should ship in
October.
A 32GB model costs $299, while a 64GB model runs $399.
Apple will also offer a cheaper option: The 4th-gen iPod touch. The company
is keeping the older models alive, but it’s phasing out the 8GB version.

Hi Mitch,
Maybe you can write to me off-list, I sent you a message a few days back,
but I’m not sure if you received it. You can write to [email protected].
My guess is that the 32 Gig iPod Touch Fifth Generation will be $299, at
least that is the price that was announced in the States, maybe it will be
$329 here, in any case, I think the $60 or $80 difference are justified
especially in the case of the iPod because the upgrade is so huge. The A5
processor, 5 MP camera and SIRI alone are absolutely worth that price, on
top of that you get dual band WiFi on 2.4 and 5 Mhz, Bluetooth 4.0, the new
headset (the ear pod) which I expect to be much better, you get the option
of a wrist loop, the larger screen and the new dock connector which will be
easier to plug in since it can be plugged in any which way. The 30-Pin
cables are also not the most robust and I’d expect a smaller connector would
be less prone to breakage. As somebody without any left-over stuff like
cases, docks, cables etc. you have nothing to loose and everything to gain.
Anyhow, this is just my opinion, Apple is going to continue to offer a 16
Gig and 32 Gig iPod Touch fourth Generation along with the new ones for $50
less (that is in the States) so if you paid $240 for yours that isn’t really
much of a special, but of course stores are going to be keen on clearing out
their old inventory before the new ones come in.
Take care,
Sieghard

Hi
Sieghard well because best bye had a speshel on it for 240 and I thought
that the I pod touch 5 would be way more exspencive. plus I thought that you
were able to upgrade the ipod touch to ios 6 and have the same features and
stuff as you would if you got the I pod touch 4. it is not to late for me
to cansel my order though. from Mich. ----- Original Message -----

Mitch,
Why, oh why did you not wait a couple of weeks and ordered the iPod ?Touch
5th Gen, the difference I think between a 32 Gig 4th Gen and a 32 Gig 5th
Gen is approx. $50. You will not be able to use any of the barcode scanning
apps let alone OCR in a meaningful way because of the only 1 MP camera of
the 4. iOS 6 would have been multiple times snappier since the 5 has the
same A5 chip as the iPhone 4S—not a good decision in my opinion. The only
good thing is that if you ordered it from Apple especially you do have a
30-day return window and unless the $50 or whatever the difference will be
here in Canada is the problem, you really want the fifth Generation iPod
Touch at this point.
I am curious as to why you decided to go with the fourth Generation now
instead of waiting 2 or 3 weeks.
Regards,
Sieghard
