5th gen iPod Touch?

Some photographs of the next generation iPod Touch have surfaced online, showing off some very interesting features of the updated music player. The 5^th generation iPod Touch is said to have a capacitive home button, and 128GB of internal storage. Judging from the screenshots, there’s no way to tell if it really is going to be the 5^th generation iPod Touch, and it could even be a prototype of the current model. Either way, we’ll just have to wait for an official unveiling to find out. Hopefully the WWDC in a couple of months will give us the answers we seek. What do you think of a capacitive touch home button? Head here for more pictures.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
