With the announcement of the iPhone price drop, a lot of rumour and speculation has surrounded what will happen to the rather expensive iPod touch.
Currently a 32GB touch sells for just under £300, while the smaller 8GB version will set you back £190. Both prices are steep in comparison to the now-free iPhone (albeit with a hefty tariff).
Appleinsider is reporting that supplies of the iPod touch are diminishing. The website is also hinting that the reason for this decrease could be a rumoured new model due for release in September.
Memory boost
At the moment, the iPod touch does seem to be due an update, though the 32GB is fine for those that want to put their music collection on to the device.
But when it comes to loading up on images and movies 32GB just isn't enough. Now, if the Flash memory was boosted to 64GB, then the iPod touch would become a very enticing product indeed.

5. thats fair comment, but...
aside from the compression Vs quality thing.
i have over 25GB of JUST music on my boggy standard normal IPOD 30gb non video thing...this won't even fit the touch. and it would be nice to have everything on a single device?

4. I've got a 16GB Touch and have two entire seasons of Family Guy and season 10 of the Simpsons on it, pus a selection of music and photos. If you're running out of room, you're not compressing the video well enough!

3. Why not cut some costs and 'retro-fit' the 120/160GB Hard drives give it some serious capacity???
