John Gruber, the owner of the Daring Fireball is well known when it goes about predicting features of upcoming Apple products. In one of his last stories he wrote the next sentence “if you wait a few weeks to buy the Touch, you’ll get one with a Retina Display and dual cameras.”. It does not really sound impossible, because there are already a lot of rumors going around the web telling the next gen iPod Touch can make FaceTime calls using registered email address. So does this mean the next gen iPod Touch will be like the iPhone 4 without the Phone app? Guess we will find out within the next couple of weeks.

A new iPhone is launched so we could expect a new iPod as well. Its time for iPod Touch 4, but what can we expect? John Lewis thinks that the next gen iPod Touch“that most likely will be launched in September” will include: A Improved 5-megapixel camera so can shoot HD video / upload to YouTube. And flash so it can take photos in the dark, Social networking, Accelerometer and gyroscope, significant in developing the gaming credentials of the product, FaceTime calling over Wi-Fi, so you can communicate with friends for zero cost and will likely to be sold as a multimedia device targeted at youth / kids.
