Guys, remember, in the times before we had google maps on the phones, we used to have (still do, but they're a dying breed now) GPS applications which we could install on the phones along with the entire map database for a few continents. They did not need any always-on data connection, just a clear view of the skies.

With TOMTOM iPhone app on the way, addition of a GPS chipset on the iPod touch would be perfect and pretty much obviate the necessity of having a separate PND.

And some people, me included, don't want to be on the AT&T network for various reasons.]]>Jul 21st 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/21/next-gen-ipod-touch-rumored-to-get-camera-microphone-fairy-dus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/21/next-gen-ipod-touch-rumored-to-get-camera-microphone-fairy-dus/Jul 21st 2009 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/21/next-gen-ipod-touch-rumored-to-get-camera-microphone-fairy-dus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/21/next-gen-ipod-touch-rumored-to-get-camera-microphone-fairy-dus/It's much much more than just a media player now.

Switched to a smartphone, my ipod touch was nice for a while, but all the itunes garbage and updates got annoying after a while. They need to badly switch to wifi updates.

Smart phones with OTA updates make life far easier, they could learn something. But then again their own phone is tethered to another device to work.]]>Jul 21st 2009 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/21/next-gen-ipod-touch-rumored-to-get-camera-microphone-fairy-dus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/21/next-gen-ipod-touch-rumored-to-get-camera-microphone-fairy-dus/

Do you even own an iPod Touch? It's really nothing more than a glorified PMP. Its main leg up on other PMPs is wifi, but that's only advantageous if don't have a data plan for your cellphone or a laptop nearby. I have many apps (both from the App Store and unapproved third party apps), and their novelty wares off rather quickly.

And the camera would in no way replace a decent point-and-shoot. My PowerShot takes pictures that make the iPhone camera look like a toy. It's good for impromptu frivolous shots, but if you actually care at all about image quality the camera doesn't cut it.

I like my iPod Touch, I really do, but I rarely use it for anything other than music. Let's not overstate its qualities.]]>Jul 21st 2009 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/21/next-gen-ipod-touch-rumored-to-get-camera-microphone-fairy-dus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/21/next-gen-ipod-touch-rumored-to-get-camera-microphone-fairy-dus/"bargain" ;P]]>Jul 21st 2009 4:14PM
