That’s a rumour and one that is very unlikely to be true.

Re: Possibility: New ipod touch on septemeber 9

subscription music and apple....

btw rumours suggest that apple will scrap the ipod touch 8gb and ipod touch 16gb will cost as much as the current 8gb. also there are talks of hardware music controls on the ipod touch.

also expected, slim ipod nanos like those of the first gen. but this time with a widescreen resolution.

one interesting article on cnet worth having a look.

I love it when Apple newbies believe all rumours to be true.

com'on apple fanboy... i admit you are quite knowledgable about Apple products the way you often fight MS fanboys

Apple newbies lol, lets hope you will teach us newbies something at smokingapples

Now tell me which part of the rumor isn't sounds believable to you.

Re: Possibility: New ipod touch on septemeber 9

Whatever be the case, the 8GB is definitely getting replaced by the 16GB at the same pricepoint.

Now tell me which part of the rumor isn't sounds believable to you.

1. The whole thing, because it’s a rumour and they, by their very nature, are unreliable. Sure, some things will turn out to be true because they’re obvious and have been deduced from the company’s past trends and policy, like the 8GB model getting replaced by the 16GB one, for instance. However, it’s still a rumour so even if it does turn out to be true, it doesn’t mean you can then rely on the next rumour that this guy spreads; and

2. The iPod nano going back to a shape similar to its previous one. In its entire history, Apple has never gone back to any design. Kevin Rose threw this one in there so that he would grab headlines. Now if this one turns out to be untrue, he can still claim that the rest were true, which were all obvious and easily deducible.

I’ve been reading Apple rumours extensively and seeing them turn out to be untrue for the past two years. You haven’t. So, trust me when I say this, I do know a thing or two more about Apple rumours than you do. In this forum itself, I can show you several threads where people reported on Apple rumours, had lengthy discussions about the pros and cons, and then started blaming Apple when they didn’t turn out to be true.

1: The guy Kevin Rose, i didn't believe that rumour the nano curve one its too good to be true and i know that guy is not reliable. what i guessed was, these possibilities:
A new ipod touch with feature addition
price drop on ipod touch... from rumours 16 GB ipod touch to cost Rs 14,000
new generation of ipods.

and you said
"I love it when Apple newbies believe all rumours to be true."

You surely know more about apple but then you still don't know more about me... i do know what i am talking.

Well its time for another rumor, and guess what i predict it will come out to be true as well :

The new multitouch Macbook Touch, not sure if it will be a macbook touch or tablet but there will be a definite touchscreen tablet product from apple soon.

[shashank4u]

Something Gates has been talking about for ages. Tablet PCs being the big thing, but then Apple will come with it and Jobs will once again be resurrected as the demi-God he is. While people will still take pot-shots on Gates.

Microsoft in fact is ahead of apple in Touch technology, examples are Microsoft Surface and Sphere.

Re: Possibility: New ipod touch on septemeber 9

But, you see for the world Microsoft "copied" Apple's iPhone and just made a table and a big ball which has touch. That's the difference.

Table and big ball ROFL,when people buy something pricey they tends toward supporting it inspite of it being right or wrong and say weird things to support their claim, thats the human nature.

Re: Possibility: New ipod touch on septemeber 9

Surface is indeed a shoddier, crappier big-ass implementation of the Surface and, like all Microsoft products, is far too late in the game (in fact, it’s still not in the game). Other companies are trying to fit more computing power into smaller devices and Microsoft is putting reduced computing power into huge tables that cost you your house. Genius!
