Can Next iPod Touch Bring Us More Except Retina Screen And Dual Cameras?

John Gruber predicting that the iPod Touch will be upgraded to feature the same high resolution “Retina Display” used on the new iPhone, as well as two cameras.

“If you wait a few weeks to get buy the Touch, you’ll get one with a Retina Display and Dual Cameras”, he wrote on his Daring Fireball website. The addition of dual cameras would further enforce Apple’s commitement to its FaceTime video-calling functionality, currently only available via wifi to iPhone 4 users. Gruber was not specific about their resolution, however.

Discussing the US launch of the Dell Streak mobile phone/tablet hybrid, which has been available in the UK for several weeks, the blogger was scathing in his assessment. He concluded “If Dell can’t make an iPod Touch competitor, who can?”

Additionally, Engadget is also reporting that a cut-down version of Apple TV will soon be announced. The $99 device will be based on iPhone 4 hardware, and will offer 720p video playback, rather than the higher resolution 1080p or 1080i, the site claims. It is likely, however, gain access to applications via the App Store.

Engadget also reports that Apple TV is to be renamed iTV. Previously, however, this has been problematic for the UK market because of the clash with the name of broadcaster ITV.
