Hello Listers,
I am just listening to the latest Today in iOS podcast. Since the iPod Touch Fifth Gen is now shipping Rob mentioned that iFixIt.com of course did their close examination of it's guts. Among other things they discovered that unlike the iPhone 5 which has 1 Gig of RAM the iPod Touch continues to have only 512 Mb along with the A5 processor which we already knew. They also mentioned that the home button design apparently is not as good as that of the iPhone 4S or 5, I guess we'll have to wait and see if iPod Touch users will have issues with the home key over time. Lastly, Rob said that apparently the ear pods that ship with the iPod Touch have no microphone which is almost too weird to believe and, if so, I think Apple should be ashamed to skimp on that just to save a couple of bucks especially since the iPod Touch Fifth Gen has SIRI and Facetime. Maybe some of those who received their iPod Touch Fifth Gen can confirm that although I doubt IFixIt would get it wrong. In the end it's not a deal breaker, but it basically means Apple not only maybe saves a few Dollars by designing the ear pods without microphone but they also force people who plan to use their iPod Touch a lot for Skype and so on to buy an extra set of ear pods; this is almost bad enough so that I would buy a third party headset just in order not to give Apple the extra $30.
