To all those concerned with iPod Touch models’ future: analysts from iSuppli predict that Apple will have sold 66 million units of iPod Touch and iPod Nano models within 2 years.
According to iSuppli’s projections, Apple will ship 20 million iPods of these two models by the end of the year.
At the same time, next year the same iSuppli expects an increase in demand for these models, yielding additional 40 million sold units for Apple in 2008.
iPod Touch is expected to be a hot selling item this holidays season, largely in part due to the fact that iPhone provided sufficient hype for touchscreen technology. Considering that not everyone wants to trade in his current phone for a contract with ATT, iPod Touch could become very popular as an alternative to the iPhone or an older generation iPod.

Apple released the new WebApps library/catalog today, as was earlier reported by iPhone World, adding a new listing of web apps optimized for the iPod Touch and iPhone. And though people were hoping for added support for 3rd party apps, or a wider welcome to them at the least, nothing new of the sort came out.
The new WebApps update is apparently just a listing, nothing more, of iPod Touch and iPhone optimized web-based apps. There is no added support for native apps that work outside the Safari browser. Apple’s iPodTouch/iPhone WebApps listing is located at www.apple.com/webapps.

Although Apple took extreme measures to lock out third party iPhone/iPod touch native programmers with the recent firmware v1.1.1, the #iPhone-dev iPhone programmer-hackers’ community has already cracked the “almost unbreakable” iPod Touch OSX file system; though it remains to be seen whether these iPod Touch jailbreak hacks work fully or not.
As it was mentioned before, Apple iPod Touch is essentially based on the same hardware and can run the same third party native programs as the Apple iPhone, but the recent iPod Touch firmware upgrade took this ability away.
After hundreds of hours of work invested into this, #iphone-dev folks came up with two ways to jailbreak the v1.1.1 firmware iPod Touch devices:
#1: (earlier released hack) is done via a TIFF image file exploit in current Safari version (and people don’t like hackers for some reason….). This was tested and proved to be working with Apple iPod Touch.
#2: (latest hack) is via a native program that one needs to upload onto his iPod Touch. We could not independently confirm whether this method works with all iPod Touch devices.

In tonight’s, October 10, 2007, Late Night iPod Touch Reading clipping of notable iPod Touch related articles from other news sources:
- Review: iPod touch with 1.1.1 update @ Playlist
When the iPod touch (3 mice) was first released, some models offered very dark or out-of-contrast video performance. But even touch models that did not have display problems couldn’t match the brightness and clean contrast of the iPhone. Apple released the iPod touch 1.1.1 update that fixed the former problem, but, regrettably, not the latter.
- Is iPod’s Hard Drive Days Numbered? @ BusinessWeek
But now evidence is mounting that hard drive-based iPods may be on their way to extinction. At least that’s one conclusion you might draw from an analysis of the components inside the latest iPod classic (the sixth iPod model to feature a hard drive) by market research firm iSuppli.

MacNN reports that the first store to sell the iPod Touch in Japan yielded roughly 100 people standing in a line outside the doors waiting to get their gadget fix. The first person there was, is a man that arrived at 1:30 AM local time, waiting until 10AM to finally get in and buy one.
If this is any evidence of the Apple iPod Touch’s popularity, it’s quite possible it could sell out in both Japan and China, which are countries where a gadget has to be special to guarantee similar hype.

As it’s known, the Apple iPod Touch, the iPhone-like touchscreen Wi-Fi version of the iPod media players family, is lacking in several features like image syncing, notes, lack of games, disk mode, and the ability to add or edit calendar entries.
Apparently, a MacRumors forum-goer named DavidJearly directly emailed Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO and head-honcho. Although not answering all of David’s questions about the previously mentioned lack of features, he did supposedly make a comment on the calendar features not working correctly as well as reasons as to why there are no games. Here shown is the email:
David,
Nothing can be done about the games. The new iPod touch is a completely different animal inside than the old iPods and the games just don’t translate. The inability to edit and add calendar events is a bug that will be fixed in a future software update.
