In line with the announced October 12th launch date for iOS 5, Apple has also transitioned its iPod touch line to begin shipping with the operating system pre-installed.

Two of Apple's retail stores in the U.S. will be relocating later this month, although they will only be a short distance from their existing locations.

I have to say, for some reason the white looks much better on the iPod Touch. I think that the white on the front of the iPods looks much better than a completely white iPhone. Maybe it's because the chrome back just makes it looks awesome; almost retro. If you squint... While imagining a Clickwheel... You can almost see the past. Kind of.
I'm kind of glad the new touch didn't get any major updates aside from a color change and price drop.
So I guess that makes my "4th" gen iPod touch still current :)
