    the ipod 5th gen will come out and it will be released in september. it will not be like a a dramatic change like the ipod touch 3g to 4g. Many of the upgrades will be in the software, better camera, and maybe higher resolution screen.

    To tell the truth no one really knows that will be on it, rumors have been that there will be a memory slot (doubtful), a new touch sensitive home button, gps, include a higher storage capacity (maybe a 128gb version)

    *ipod touch 4G Features and Design

    A4 Processor – Same as the one in iPhone 4 and iPad.

    FaceTime: iPod Touch 4G has 2 cameras, on front as well as back. The front one lets you use FaceTime to have video chat.

    Retina Display – With this latest technology from Apple, iPod Touch 4G has the highest resolution 3.5 inch display amongst all iPod Touches. The 960-by-640 backlit LCD display packs 326 pixels per inch, making text and graphics sharper and vivid.

    HD Video Recording, Editing – You can now capture 720p video on your iPod Touch 4G using it’s back camera, which comes with an illumination sensor that lets you take better pictures in low light.

    Game Center – This newly added feature lets you add players to your gaming network, invite and join, and share your scores with friends.

    Gyro + Accelerometer – Better motion gestures comes with the built in 3 axis gyroscope along with accelerator. Gaming is now more fun with this advanced motion sensing technology, which gives user acceleration, full 3D attitude, and rotation rate.

    Other features include Genius playlist, cover flow album art, access to TV and Movie shoes from iTunes Store over Wi-Fi, free iBooks ebook reader app, email support for Gmail, MobileMe, voice control, and so on.

    It doesn't really make a big deal if you buy the ipod now or wait for the 5g. The 5g will not be 100 percent different. However the ipod touch 4g can support the IOS 5 software that will be released with the new ipod touch 5g so many new features can be supported on the 4g one.

    You should just wait until the ipod touch 5g comes out. Everytime apple releases a new product, they are already talking about making another one. It's retarded how they don't let you enjoy your product for a good period of time until they release another one. But I would just wait until the newest ipod touch comes out which will be soon. Apple will always release new ipods, macs, iphones, etc so you will never have them all. They want you to feel outdated :/

    the new ipod touch 5g is coming out in early september but apparently it isnt going to bemuch different to the ipod 4g, plus they will probably be at least £50 more expensive than the 4g.

    i would say go for the 4g, i have one now and love it:) hope i helped!

    depends how long you are prepared to wait, there are never huge differences when they make new iPods. I have the 4g and love it, but if I were you I would wait for the next one because it won't be that long 'till it comes out I don't think.

    The new iPods come out in September, and are cheapest for the christmas sales. Wait.
