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…

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…
