When the iPhone was released in the middle of 2007, it set a new bar in mobile Internet browsing that has yet to be matched. If you don’t believe me, go try browsing the Internet on one of those Verizon or Sprint touchscreen phones. Even if you are not an Apple product fan, you will be instantly converted after trying the competing touchscreen products from LG or Samsung.

The new 3G iPhone with GPS was released last month for half the price of the original, but it left everyone wondering what will happen to the iPod touch. Well the rumor mills are running full speed, and here is a glimpse of the rumors I’m reading regarding the new iPod Touch:

  • available in new 64GB size
  • lower prices
  • GPS capable, and possible map application to compete with Garmin
  • possibly available in August or September

I haven’t bought my new 3G iPhone yet, but if the GPS rumors turn out to be true for the iPod touch, then I’ll stick with my clunky pre-paid wireless phone and just opt for the new iPod touch instead.

I’m waiting patiently for confirmation on the new iPod touch features, but if you can’t wait, just click below and buy the existing ipod touch now:
