New iPod Touch 4: Larger Storage or iTunes Cloud?

The new iPod Touch 4 is expected to be launched at the September 1 Apple Media Event during a keynote by Steve Jobs. None of us know what the design looks like yet – one has not been left in a bar – but there is the assumption that it will come with not only a 5-megapixel camera, but also a front-facing one as well. However, it seems that we have forgotten about the most important feature – the storage.

I have started to wonder if the new iPod Touch for 2010 will get an increase n storage or will Apple also be announcing iTunes Cloud? I am not just throwing this idea up in the air either. We know that this Wednesday’s special media event will be centered around music – you only have to look at the invitations to understand what I mean.

This makes me believe that maybe Apple is about to do something with iTunes, and if it has anything to do with Cloud then why would Apple feel the need to increase the hard drive capacity on the new iPod Touch?

Look at it this way, we all assumed that the iPhone 4 would be increased to 32GB and 64GB – so why did this not happen? I found it strange that we now have a 5-megapixel camera and 720p video capture – all takes up more storage space on your fourth-generation iPhone. So why did they leave storage at 16GB and 32GB?

This is only a thought that has been kicking around my head, but we all know that Cloud is the future, and we believe that Apple iTunes will be one of the biggest players.

Do you believe that Apple will move iTunes to cloud storage soon?
