i have heard rumors about there being a 32 GB touch in the next 12 months or so..
just thought id post this wondering if anyone else has heard about this? i know there is no total knowing of any of this but any comments?

It is likely, but I haven't seen or heard anything about it

Well it was bound to happen sometime,
First there was the 30 and 60 gb ipod video

Now theres a 80 and 160 gb ipod video

Same is gunna happen with the touch

Yeah, expect a 32 GB release next September pal, like they always do with iPods.

Yupppp....

Well I can't wait till they make a larger GB iTouch:)

oh well...

we already have 16gb now.. should have waited longer. lol

maybe there's nano touch too.. lol

and btw , shld this be in the rumour section ?

the problem is the chips only come in capacities of max 8 GB right now, however recently new leaps in flash technology means it might be possible to jump to way higher than that:

Likely we'll see a jump to a 32 - 64 combo first and then from there it will be 128-256 GB.

There is also rumbling of a new type of flash memory that could bring up up to a Terrabyte within a couple of years.

All very exciting news.

they probably will come out with one soon, but I haven't heard anything.

If there comes one out, i'm sure to upgrade.

If I was going to get a touch for christmas, do you think I should wait it out and get the next gen or do you think it will be awhile until they come out with new ones

We are talking about hypothetical upgrades that won't likely happen until spring or Fall of 08. I don't know if Samsung is even up to speed on high density NAND memory yet. I doubt it and if they were it will take at least 3-6 months to get it up to speed.

So if you want it for christmas of this year, then wait no longer.

Let them have Ipod Touches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea i heard about the terabyte one, unnessicary though.

idk there will be an ipod touch with that size memory anytime soon. if they do make one with 32 megabytes its going to be alot bigger than its predecessors because like the nano the ipod touch uses flash memory, not actual hard drives. thats why the ipod video can hold so much more.

They'll definitely come out with higher capacity iPod Touches soon. That's how they do it with their iPods anyway.

do you think they would do a trade in?

like you send in yours and pay, say, $100?

They won't do a trade in, but if you buy your Ipod at Best Buy and get a warrenty you can take it in every year when a new one comes out and complain about the battery dying quickly, then they will upgrade it to whatever is out. I started with a 1st gen nano and have gone through every one since including a video and now have a touch. :)

lol. nice haha

Sounds like a great strategy.

This would be so much more revoultionary, because it's not a hard drive. No moving parts! Weeee!

Do u think the size of the touch would get bigger for more gigs

woahhh r u serious!!!! Thats insanneee!! Cuz i bought mine from best buy and got a 3 year warranty!!! Awesome! But is it that easy? Just say ur experiencing problems & they'll let u upgrade! But do u have to give them ur old one or can u like keep it? Do u pay extra?

Well I can't wait till they make a larger GB iTouch:)

Same here. I am waiting for a higher gb iPod touch ^^ and a price drop ^^

You can expect a itouch with higher memory very soon. Technology is upgrading faster than you can blink your eyes. It will not surprise me to see one with 256Gb in a few years.
Of course if you keep waiting to buy a better one, you will wait forever. There is always going to be a better one in a few years.

Well, not forever... just until you die.

But yeah, it's like computers, or cars... even video games. The consumer's market has its fair share in it too, upgrades and obsoletes alike.

i was reading an article in pc magizne about the 1 petabyte ipod
it usues some crazy physics technololgy that i dont get, but if you get pc mag check it out

i wouldnt need a 32gig ipot because 16gigs is ebough 4 me

I want them to make a 32gb touch so I can get the 16gb gb for $300 instead of $400

i have heard rumors about there being a 64 GB touch in the next 24 months or so..
just thought id post this wondering if anyone else has heard about this? i know there is no total knowing of any of this but any comments?

No kidding.

this is quite possible actually, and you should never be a comedian

hahah

rumour sayer turn comedian...

well done..

those so call rumour are more or the last expectation or projected flash-storage capability.
the max consumer size is now 32GB ... (use by Creative Zen)

well, so i am expecting ipod touch to reach that too.. watch the price too..

Well I don't think they will be bumping up the memory in the iPod Touch anytime soon, but this is probably what may happen:

Fall '08 - Release of the new 2nd Generation iPod Touch probably with same or similar memory, but with doubled battery life. New casing like the 2nd gen Nano maybe?

Fall '09 - Release of New 3rd Generation iPod Touch with probably with memory somewhere in between 64 - 256 GB. Trust me these things will jump drastically. Maybe a new iPod too? Seeing as the iPod Touch was released only two years after the release of the first Nano.

I personally think there will be nothing until the end of 08 and the start of 09

they will come out with the bigger touch models,theyll prolly show one or 2 on MW

oh well...

we already have 16gb now.. should have waited longer. lol

If we waited longer Apple would just wait till ppl bought 16 gb and then make 32 gb
lol its their strategy :p

I bet they'll show something along these lines at mac world

Im not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet but have you thought about what increasing the gigs on the touch will do economically. The iPhone has had enough problems with sales since the release of the 16gig Touch over the max8gig on the iPhone. By increasing it to 32 or to 64 would only further increase this problem with cheaper prices and it will begin to factor into the classic. People are willing to drop 16gig off their classic and fork out a little more money for the best technology. People who can generally afford the classic should have enough money, the only concern is space. The only way this would benefit is with the increase in size from the classic. just something to think about. It should be quite some time before the classic incereases its size as i think the sales of the 80gig is much higher than the 160 so it would be crazy to add thickness weight and price just to have even less people buying the classic. From memory In order, when it comes to sales the 8gig nano is at the top followed by the 80gig classic. so cutting the 80gig for a 160 and 240gig space is crazy with the touch sales doing great for the meantime. Only when it becomes reasonable for the classic to grow is when the touch will go up, and im sure the sales would just sky rocket with a 32gig but they have to factor in all the ipods and iphone with a decision like this.
