It's highly inconvenient

It's just not a microphone that is in the earpods. It's on the bottom with the earphone jack and the jack for the charger.

Did the latest iPod Touch get Siri, or was that restricted to the iPad 3 and the iPhones 4s and 5? If the latest Touch has Siri, it needs to have a microphone somewhere or it won't be able to perceive what we're saying.

I am talking about the iPod Touch, both third and fourth Generation iPod Touches came with the same headset as the iPhones which of course included a microphone.

As for the home button, I personally do not see a problem with it. The unit appears to be very responsibe. Still, I think that the extra money, even for an iPod 16 GB, would be well spent. Cheers.

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.
