iPhone 2.1 Firmware Hints at New iPod touch
Apparently hidden in the code of the 2.1 firmware we’re anxiously awaiting to make our iPhones less laggy and crashy (and maybe add copy and paste!) is a reference to a new iPod touch model. The current iPod touch designation is “iPod1,1″ but there’s a string in the code for an “iPod2,1″ which points at a brand new iTouch.
For historical comparison, the original iPhone is “iPhone1,1″ while the iPhone 3G is “iPhone1,2″ as we found out during the 2.0 update madness, so there’s definitely a case to be made. And late summer is new iPod season. What new whiz-bang features do you think would be in a whole new iPod touch? [iPhone Atlas via Mac Rumors]

it’ll be nothing but iphone 3G minus the Cell phone chip… So for all y’all people who don’t want a contract or shell out approx $900 on iphone outright, gonna benefit from this little gizmo.. and did I mention you maybe able to pick between 32GB or 64GB version… White or Black…
GPS, Camera, bigger capacity!
I would dream to see a Mic to make VoIP avalaible… but I am asking too much here :(
WiMAX ? may be for iPod 3.1 ^_^
Can’t wait to get it !
I agree with abs
exaclty same as the iphone but no phone so it will still have GPS but would require wifi or pre-loaded maps.
there was an article somewhere quoting tomtom people that they were keen to make tomtom software for iphone but will have to wait and see I guess…
Mother fcukers are releasing a new iPod touch… I hate you apple. (I only just bought an iPod touch 8GB on Saturday…)
