Apple seems to be pushing refurbished 3rd Gen iPod Touches out the door:

32 G refurb Touch 3rd Gen is $179 (no camera) while a new 16 G Nano is $149. That's a no-brainer unless you insist on the awkward small size of the nano...

Is Apple planning on coming out with a new Touch, maybe better camera(s) and better display? Or is Apple planning on discontinuing the Touch?

And the whole issue of Apple's deliberately confusing naming is quite obvious when you go to the refurb webpage. You have to be an expert to realize that it's the Touch without the camera. Most people would miss that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, with the iPad 3 coming out, who cares, right?

Nice...the iPod Touch is great, especially for those of us without a cellphone and want something with PDA-like functionality. The iPad is not as convenient to carry and serves a different function compared to the iPod Touch. That Touch is 1.5 years old.
