Reports are appearing that a white iPod Touch is going to be announced in Apples upcoming media event and released sometime in October. Unsurprising with the popularity of the white iPhone 4 and iPad 2.

The above image shows what is rumoured to be the front panel of the new iPod touch placed on a 4th generation iPod.

Beyond the new white iPod any other news on updates is pretty slim with most reports suggesting it will be a very minor upgrade to the iPod touch and a also a minor revision to the iPod nano.

Rumours were there would be no new iPod Touch update this year but thanks to an eagle eyed user who found the following reference to a new model iPod Touch wihin the following plist file in the latest iOS5 beta:

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons /com.apple.fairplayd.N81.plist

The model number is iPod 4,2 whilst the current model is iPod 4,1. This suggests it may only be a very minor upgrade probably a speed bump with little or no cosmetic difference to the current version.

No doubt you have read about all the awesome new features that will be introduced with iOS5 this fall. Most surprisingly while major iOS updates have always been free for iPhone users there has been a nominal charge for iPod Touch users. But with this new release Apple have decided to make it free to all iOS users. Pretty exciting stuff. We will have a run down of some of major new changes coming soon.

In the mean time let us know which features you’re most looking forward too?
