Apple:
Apple® today announced its 16GB iPod touch® is now available in vibrant colors and equipped with a 5 megapixel iSight® camera for just $199. The entire iPod touch lineup features the 5 megapixel iSight camera with 1080p HD video recording, brilliant 4-inch Retina® display, Apple’s A5 chip and FaceTime® camera. iPod touch features an ultra-thin and light anodized aluminum design and is available in pink, yellow, blue, silver, space gray and (PRODUCT) RED. iPod touch comes in a 16GB model for $199, 32GB for $249, and 64GB for $299.
Until today, the low-end model just shipped in silver, without a camera. While that has changed, the iPod touch still ships with a dual-core A5 chipset. Clearly the older hardware is allowing Apple to hit a lower price point than ever before, but I would like to see the A5 fade away — as would a lot of developers.
