Apple iPod Touch Seen in Line for Video Chat

No company gets the rumor mill churning like Apple. Will there be a tablet? What can I look for in the next iPhone? Now, the gossip has turned to the iPod Touch.

Apple has made a habit of updating its iPod line in September, as the back-to-school season is getting in full swing and the holidays loom around the corner. The latest speculation has it that Apple will indeed release a new iPod Touch, this one bearing a high-resolution camera and video-chat capabilities. Enterprise Mobile Today takes a look.

The next big release from Apple will likely be the launch of a new iPod, something the company has done the past several years around early September in advance of back-to-school buying and the Christmas holiday shopping season. And if the latest rumors are on track, the iPod will be getting the biggest upgrade in some time.

The iPod was integral in reversing Apple’s fortune a decade ago but has since been supplanted by the iPhone and iPad, both of which can also play music and games and run applications as the iPod does. In recent years Apple moved away from the traditional iPod design with the wheel controller in favor of the iPod Touch, which is basically an iPhone without the phone. Other than that, it has the same interface and runs all of the apps on the App Store.
