today on d3 live we're going to be talking about the next generation of ipod touch along with iOS 5 so starting to get a little bit later in the year the rumors and all that kinda stuff is really starting to pick up so I'm going to do today is condensed what all I've heard well I expect and what all we all of us expect to see in the next generation of ipod touch along with iOS 5 so the begin with we're going to talk a little about the ipod touch and now of course every year apple updates their iphone ipod touch and now the ipad lines so we've got a good idea what to expect now the first thing is is the Apple a5 dual-core CPU this is the same way it came there's a new apple last year apple a4 and the ipad that came out in iphone 4 and finally came around the ipod touch so absolutely expect to see the same processor from the ipad trickle down to both the iphone the ipod touch later this year I know what that will mean is that internet browser will be much faster and especially in gains the graphical performance is going to be much much superior to the current generation of processors in the iphone the ipod touch so that's going to be a big deal but as far as no gaming and all that kind of good stuff always more speed is better now as far as the actual design itself goes up not really i wasn't sure there's a couple of people that have a couple of different ideas of what's floating around as far what we're going to see on the one hand it might be just a basically a super super minor upgrade just like when they did with the third generation meaning there's not going to be any major how we're improving survivor it's going to look basically the same just some internal stuff on speed and all that kind of stuff on the other hand though there's a lot of talk about a larger display on the iphone and of course i would imagine that would trickle down to the ipod touch so what that would mean is that a larger screen press preps 3.7 inches or so maybe even a little bit bigger than that and in the same footprint which means that it basically would just get rid of a lot of the bezel just kind of stretch out a little bit more which of course is always good and it should remain a Retina display now as far as the that goes i'm not a harmston sure if we're going to see that um i would i would expect we you see on the iphone but whether actually comes down to ipod touch on that how to ensure a better area i don't think a slightly bigger screen is going to make all that big of a difference and now one thing that i am really really hoping forward to seeing the next ipod touch is a better camera and of course having ipod touch that's great but the one that they put in the ipod touch 4th generation is not very good at all I'm it does shoot 720p video but the point 7 megapixel stills are not good in the slightest I I don't care which way you look at it on they're really small and I just don't look back right so what I hope for is they could increase the you know the camera quality at it I'm not asking for something as good as on the iphone 4 of course that's a fairly thick sensor would probably require them redesigning a lot of it making the ipod touch a bit thicker but i really do believe that they could make a better quality camera inside the ipod touch 5th generation that's mostly what I'm looking for far as when we can expect to see this hour typically we do see it in September however it looks like the iPhone 5 is going to be pushed back to September so we might see in September or it might even be a little bit farther so definitely keep an eye out for that but I would imagine would probably be in the sep tember to october time frame and then moving on to the software side of course it's going to apply a lot to the iphone 5 as well is iOS 5 now iOS 5 is again something that we've been waiting for for quite a while it's going to be the next generation operating system for both the iphone ipod touch and eventually the ipad another a lot of speculations a lot of people who have been talking about iOS 5 and that it's probably going to be a lot of big features so I'm going to try condense it down to some of the bigger ones that I think are going to be the most important the first of which is widget support and this is not confirmed we don't know this going to happen but I absolutely would really love if that they bring widgets over just like on Android now if you've ever used an Android device you'll know that there are a wide variety of widgets the thought you to look at the time whether i turn on and off Wi-Fi there's a wide variety of stuff you can do it off straight from your home screen so you know it's really quick you don't have to go into settings not kind of good stuff something else I expect to see in the next version of iOS 5 is better Facebook and Twitter integration of course there are standard facebook and twitter apps that are available I mean they work really quite nicely but what I would like to see is better integration into the OS itself and there's a lot you know talk about this the most been called the friend stream feature on as far as how it works exactly i don't really know but overall if it's going to help you get your Twitter and Facebook and all that kind of stuff a lot easier i'm all for it now that's most of what i expect to see now of course there other things such as like a UI overhaul but I won't really get into that right now but suffice it to say believes that both the ipod touch 5th generation and iOS 5 should be a solid upgrade okay so for the second segment of did three live I'm going to be taking live questions from everyone in the chat started a lot of people in your now so just gotta go ahead and take some questions and I see what you guys have to say it's more realistic the ipod touch 5th generation has a 2 megapixel camera yeah I think yeah I think it's somewhere along lines what I was thinking I mean I really let me think that we need 1080p video or not a 5 megapixel camera or anything like that but I'm just hoping for an improvement i mean the points of megapixels that's just I mean that was okay in 1998 but this is 2011 that bed just doesn't cut in my opinion do I think it will cost considerably more no I'm pretty sure I mean they typically have always lowered the price now with the recent generation they did raise it up i believe about thirty dollars or so um but i think if it cost any more i think it's going to be a small amount i don't think it's going to be like dramatically more expensive in fact it might even be a little bit cheaper knowing apple what devices will have Iowa's available yeah thatthat such a great point if you guys are not familiar with the the earlier version um just recently they drop support for the iphone 3gs in the ipod touch 2nd generation so a lot of people were kind of worried about whether their devices are ever going to get updates or not i can tell you this i would be surprised if the iphone 3gs in the ipod touch 3rd generation the third generation the third generation of devices never see iOS 5 um i think it's possible I mean we oh and that we never know what features they decide to add but in my opinion I would be pretty surprised if they don't at least see iOS 5 they've pretty much gotten to the deal where you know you comes out in iOS to you see iOS three iOS four so hopefully yeah you at least get one more major update will apple change iOS 5 multitasking right question that's something that I really honestly don't have any clue about I'd certainly hope that they would um the multitasking it works decently but another huge fan of having to scroll through and it's just it's just not a seamless experience in my opinion but yeah I honestly have no idea i mean i think some things that they could do but if whether they will actually do it or not um no idea anyway guys that's about it for this episode of DS relied if you enjoy till field feel free to subscribe
