Next Generation 3,1 iPod Model Detected in Logs

PinchMedia announced that they had started detecting the "iPod 3,1" version number in their analytics reporting from App Store applications. The details are as follows:

- the first time an application using Pinch Analytics was run by a iPod3,1′ device occurred in late April 2009;
- applications using Pinch Analytics were run by iPod 3,1′ devices very infrequently until late May 2009, when the pace picked up slightly;
- As of this date, a few dozen distinct iPod 3,1′ devices have run around two dozen different applications using Pinch Analytics;
- The applications being run on iPod 3,1′ devices have all been the larger, more popular applications using Pinch Analytics, with hundreds of thousands to millions of unique users other than their size, the applications have little else in common.

This is not the first time we've heard of the "iPod 3,1" which is believed to represent the next generation iPod Touch. Previous references to the model have been detected in the 3.0 firmware. The currently shipping iPod touch has a model number of "2,1".

The most recent rumors have placed a camera in this 3rd generation iPod Touch which is expected to be released in September.

64 Gb, Camera Video, Voice Control iPod, that'd be enough to last me until my AT&T contract is up, along with Apple and AT&T's too!

Heres a glass to happier times!:cool:

Addition: Plus the last iPod touch had a faster cpu than the 3G and headphone/earphone controls, I wonder what this will have above the 3GS?

iPod touch"S" anyone? lol

I hope so. If it does happen to be 64GB, I hope they implement that storage into the next iPhone.

Sounds expensive. I don't know if single 64gb flash chips exist yet, do they?

It is very clear iPod month is September. Schiller said it himself once, I believe.

There really is nothing 'revolutionary' at this point that can be done to any iPod in my opinion.

I suspect price drops, more storage, and maybe one "new" feature that they will try to sell you.

I hope they don't abandon the click wheel anytime soon, though.

Also, I believe the iPod shuffle will be refreshed. People don't seem to like the new one.

I don't think so. The iPod Touch has 2 spots for flash chips, which means 2x32 GB chips. The iPhone has 1 spot, hence 32 GB max.

Storage is a given.

Yes I agree, not much can be added to iPods now can it? Apple has reached like a limit of what to add. I mean, they can add a camera, but, I can see that happening only on the iPod Touch.

The click wheel will still be with us as long as the iPod Classic is here. As per the Shuffle, I reserve my judgement.
