Just in case iPod Touch users were getting a little jealous of the new iPhone 3GS, there is rumor of change. Pinch Media is a mobile analytics firm, which “helps mobile application developers grow their businesses and make more money.” They were the first to blog about actual evidence of an iPod 3.1 on the horizon. According to the entry, “we’ve been noticing an ‘iPod 3.1′ string appearing in our version reporting, signifying what we believe to be a new yet-to-be-released version of the iPod Touch.”
To corroborate, they posited their pieces of evidence. First, in April, they detected that one of their applications was run by an ‘iPod 3.1′ Interestingly enough, Pinch Analytics apps picked up some additional 3.1 data in May, and have clocked “a few dozen” so far.
iPod Touch 3.1 ’sightings’ began as early as the beginning of the year. Some reported seeing entries for publicly released models of unreleased products, including an iPod 3.1 along with the new iPhone. Now that the iPhone 3GS has hit the shelves, hopefully the new iPod touch will follow suit.
The predictions of a new iPod Touch necessitates a pronouncement of what it’s going to be like. Obviously, suspicions are the only thing that’s certain right now. Most likely, it will include a camera-probably video-capable. In addition, it should be faster in order to keep up with its new phone-equipped cousin, the iPhone 3GS.
If the new device is really in development, some eager prophets point to a release as early as September. That date would be consistent with Apple’s previous release time frames.
