Apple releasing white iPod touch in October with little to no major hardware changes

Around this time of year we usually get a big press event on the latest addition to the iPod line, but apparently this time around we won’t be getting anything of the sort. September has come and almost gone without so much as a peep from camp Apple on a single new product due for upcoming release — including any new iPod revisions or models. Well, thanks to Macrumors, we have some confirmation of sorts that Apple does plan to release a new iPod, though it’s not all that different than what you might own already.
According to reports, Apple will be unveiling a new white iPod touch with hardly any to no hardware alterations. Well, there are some changes coming to the latest release but it won’t radically change the way you download apps, listen to music, or even fit it into your pocket:
” […] the next iPod touch revision will be a very minor change, with the primary addition being the introduction of a new white model. Only minor changes are expected for the existing hardware, with the addition of an oleophobic coating for the display and a revised ambient light sensor seemingly being the main differences. Otherwise, we expect the models to be nearly identical to the current fourth-generation iPod touch model.”
Well, I guess if you’ve been holding out this long for a replacement to that 30GB 6th generation Video iPod whose battery has completely gone kaput (like me), then here’s your chance to start over with something fresh and visually clean.
