Hi, I do not think this is the updated version of the 5G. I am also looking to see If this was, however I am sure that they have not released the updated version to amazon.com yet, I do not see the 80 Gig on here either which leads me to believe that we may have to wait for amazon to release it on their site. This is disappointing to me because I have a gift certificate that I wanted to use it towards the new Ipod, but I am certian that perhaps in the next week or so they should have it released. Good luck!

D. Wittig, are you sure Apple released the 6g's? Apple's website still says 5g.

Hello, I just came onto the site this morning and they introduced the new versions! You should see them on the front page! Take care!

I'm sad to report that these are actually the 5g ipods and not the 6g as are being advertised. Shame on you Amazon!-D

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR I-devices to ios 8.0+ I just updated mine a 2 days ago and it no longer recognized the device or "resolution" as it displays on the TV screen. I checked online and apparently it's Apple's way to force us to use their official products, so don't update or you're out of luck because they removed "down-grading" from now on.

No but i hear they are not going to make ipod anymore so dont waste money. I like my fourth gen better than my 5th gen

all iPod touch 2G comes with software 2+...so you couldn't have gotten 1.1...also when 3.0 comes pre-installed i think it will cost more too..

And more importantly, what are the new features of this compared to the older one? Hopefully, there is support for iPhones since it has fried one of my older iPhones. I refuse to try it with any 3G modeled iPhone.

It'd probably take awhile till they ship out the NEWER iPod Touch for the same great price. Haha, it's not even listed on amazon.com yet.

I find it interesting that this discussion was created in the first place. My initial confusion was that the product page seemed to be pushing for people to buy the iPod to use with this, but the item title specifically says FOR THE SANSA FUSE. I guess someone asked Amazon to change the item title and Amazon agreed? Not sure, but I originally dismissed all the iPod references on the item page as product placement or whatever you call that...

Just ask them. Apple's products shouldn't have any problems, and the same warranty is given no matter where you buy the iPod touch, as long as it is an Apple Authorized Retailer. I'd trust Amazon with you purchase. And there's almost no learning curve pass 5 minutes. Especially with the touch, it should be very simple.

Since the product details were loaded into the system before iOS 8 became available, the product details only show iOS 6. This generation iPod should be able to be updated to iOS 8..Its just a matter of a software update through iTunes for free. Hope that helps!

Does this support the new iPod nano 5G? It doesn't state it (writeup stops at 4G), but since it supports the 4G, I'm thinking yes?

No, there will be no more updates to this Ipod. I saw it on wikipedia. This will be the last generation for this Ipod. Currently they are still going to continue to produce it but I don't know how much longer that will be.

Pls excuse my ignorance - I know nothing about any of this but am looking to buy for my niece. So my stupid question is this: With Skype and the other items noted above, she can use this ipod as a telephone, correct? Then it must have WiFi access? But to use it as a cell phone wouldn't be good as you can't always pick up a WiFi connection. Do I have this right?On the other side of the coin, the new Iphone also has an Ipod in it, but I can't find anywhere on Apple site how much storage it has for ipod capability - how many songs can it hold (Assuming New IPhone 3g 16g)?

It's most definitely worth it! I have owned the older (1st generation) ipod and finally upgraded. I love it! It's more than just a music player now. There are apps that make it a phone, facetime is really handy and I love that I can watch videos on it. I suggest the 32 or 64gb versions though as I am told the 8gb doesn't have enough space for movies. I have the 32gb and absolutely love it!

You obviously didn't read the reviews. There were two 5 star reviews of people specifically mentioning the 4G Touch working. And there were more reviews of the Iphone 4 working. I know there is ONE 1 star review saying it didn't work, but thats probably because Onkyo doesn't specifically say it will work with the new Ipods, so that reviewer probably never even bought the thing.

I just bought an 80 gb ipod here on amazon that's a 5.5 generation. i should have looked more, but i had it saved on my wish list from a few months ago and assumed it was still the newest one! I haven't recieved it yet, but it has already been mailed out and i can't change it. i paid 250 for it because i bought it from one of the sellers, but i am wondering if i should return it and have to wait longer for the new ipod, or if the differences between the 5.5 gen and the new one are too subtle to really make a difference... I don't know what to do and i'm really sad about it because this is my first ipod.

Yea, that's what I meant. The ipod touches that are purhcased after today will haev the Applications installed.I wonder if any of the ones on amazon have any pre-installed. I don't feel like paying $20, but I don't want to jailbreak without knowing full details.---EDIT:Hmm.. i see the price dropped some more. maybe they are compensating with a $20 price drop. Let me ask CS and find out.
