    I'm off traveling on Oct 17th and was wondering if anyone knew if the new iPod Touch will be released before then?

    Yeh I know but the media event has always been on before now (previous years). I've heard the event might be on in Oct and if so I might just get the current gen now as that will probably be too late for me but if anyone has any info that would be great.

    Yeah you might be able to get one before you head off. Most rumours say invited will be sent out this week with the event happening by the end of the month.

    Cheers. I was in PC World earlier looking at the current model. The sales guy was trying to convince me to get an iPad to take with me instead cuz of the 10 hour battery etc etc etc.

    The only thing that intrigued me about the iPad was the iBook store but when I browsed for titles such as 'A Game Of Thrones' it didn't have it at all. There seems to be a lot of complaints about the Irish iBook store. I probably would have been tempted if it had a good store but ah well.

    If you download the Kindle app and buy books, will they appear in the iBooks library or will they be locked to the Kindle app itself. Damn sales guy has got the iPad on my brain now and I can't seem to make up my mind.

    There is no Irish iBooks store. What you see on it is just public domain stuff.

    Anything you buy on the Kindle store will only work with the Kindle app.

    It will be defo be announced before you leave,
    it will probably be released befroe you leave
    It's unlikely to be released in Ireland before you leave.

    Where are you travelling. Buy one there imo

    Might just stick with the old one if that's the case as I won't be back for a year so I'd have no music to sync if I bought it abroad. Although, maybe iCloud would sort that out?

    If all else fails I have an Archos I suppose and I could get a Kindle although I'd love a Touch, ha! I'll just have to wait and see what happens with the new model.
