The iPod Touch 5G rumors have begun. On the recent conferences held by Apple, there was this talk about how 2012 was going to be an essential year for Apple. Sure - we’ve already got Apple iPad 3 (the newest iPad) and things we’re expecting are numerous: iPhone 5, iPod Touch 5G, iTV and so forth etc.

Itouch new generation ipod 5th Generation release date isn’t confirmed by anyone yet. This coming year however looks very promising indeed to have an itouch 5G launch. While the ipod itouch 4G has been doing exceptionally well in the market, there are quite a few things we’d rather expect in the next apple ipod touch version. Here they are:

1. Storage

Of all the so-called stuff that looked bizarre, itouch new generation ipod 4G’s amounts of memory was one. There’s an 8GB and there’s one 32GB version the other 64GB version. See there? No 16GB. Seems strange even now. Why have an 8GB device rather than starting the background music device having a 16GB variant? We don’t understand the answer.

The iPod Classic includes a whopping 160GB storage which pretty much matches the needs of the hardcore music listener with a lot of albums to adopt. Actually, most people with your a keen desire for music would obviously want to store plenty of tracks. One important feature that we’d enjoy travelling to inside the ipod itouch 5G can be more storage! A 128 GB appears to be a start but we’re unsure if Apple has intends to do this.

2. Better Camera, Please!

Of course, your camera, which Apple boasts, can capture 720p HD video, won't come anywhere near to a decent experience once you begin clicking pictures. The pathetic 960x720px resolution is hardly sufficient. If Apple promises to keep the camera as the ipod itouch 5G features, it will definitely upgrade the camera to your decent level.

While other Apple products - iPhone to be precise - are inclined in the range of 8 MP cameras, it wouldn’t be excessive to inquire about a 3.2 MP or 5 MP for the iPod Touch 5G features.

3. 3G / 4G Capability through MicroSIM?

Micro SIM is just not a novice to Apple. It had the iPad fashioned with micro SIM capabilities. Even though the present crop of apple ipod touch supports Wi-Fi, it might be important also to note very good and requirement of 3G features. The main one perfect strategy to be able to add 3G support towards the iPod Touch 5G would be to incorporate a microSIM facility.

It really is plainly obvious the apple ipod touch is not just a music playback device. It's got grown away from that product has turned into a single gaming device, browsing device and connectivity device (through iMessage and WiFi). Including 3G would only enhance its versatility (in reality, that’ll help it become near to being the iPhone!)

4. Reduced Prices?

The 8GB apple ipod touch 4G retails for $199 on the Apple Store. The 32 and 64 GB variants come at $299 and $399 respectively. Wouldn't it be great if Apple brought a lower life expectancy pricing for that iPod Touch 5G. Needless to say, it looks fairly simple that when the iPod Touch 5G will be finally released, Apple would also reduce itouch new generation ipod 4G prices.

5. More iOS Features Incorporation

The iOS 5 and subsequent releases have created lots of functionality and apps on the scenario. It’s almost certain that itouch new generation ipod 5G hold iOS 5.1, but would it not bring every one of the apps (like Siri as well as other recently shown apps for your apple ipad 3)? It might be a great addition to the iPod Touch when it did.

6. Oleophobic Touchscreen

Even though it seems a lttle bit surprising that the iPhone was literally sold with all the Oleophobic tagline getting a large amount of attention (which is definitely an important advancement in touchscreen technology), itouch new generation ipod never really inherited the fingerprint-resistant, oleophobic touch. Having that on the ipod itouch 5G features would certainly certainly be a boon to users who wouldn’t have to worry about dirty screens anymore.

7. A6/A5X Processor

Given that the modern iPad has signaled the beginning of the A5X and A6 processor chips, it would be interesting to view what sort of A6 begins to make a difference inside the smartphones and iPod Touch that Apple will release this coming year. Having the A6 about the ipod itouch 5G features looks a far-fetched idea, but Apple, one can possibly never guess precisely.

8. More Audio / Video Formats Supported

The support to get more video and audio formats has been a constant thing popping up in forums and wishlists for the ipod itouch. It would be interesting to observe DivX and FLAC support around the itouch 5G and basically a number of other formats are around still going unsupported with the ipod itouch. Decision regarding this is not only about technology though - one must consider protection and legalities also.

9. Black and White Models

Similar to the present generation of apple ipod touch, the iPod Touch 5G is definitely going to have two variants - the black and the white.

10. More RAM

This is some part of contention where few users of the apple ipod touch 4G have chirped in. Although some debate that the actual RAM is decent enough, one would also have to add in the opposite requirements - like more apps, upgraded OS and stuff like that. These will need a quicker and capacious RAM. The iPod Touch 5G would do good when it features a faster RAM.
