Wow, that's a lot. They will remedy that soon.. Somehow...

The iPod touch is still accounting for 50% of all iPod sales, and Apple has sold over 300,000,000 iPods.
I'd say there is still significant traction in the design.
jsh1120 said:The iPod Touch is a dying product line. Killed by a combination of iPhone models, the iPad, and most recently by the introduction of the Kindle Fire and its rivals in the 5"-7" tablet form factor. I doubt seriously that Apple will introduce a "mini-iPad." But calling the device a "super iPod" would avoid embarrassing questions about trying to compete with the Fire while doing just that.
Kaykaykay said:I have an iPod touch, as well as an iPhone, for a couple of reasons:
I do a lot of book reading and music listening, and listening to audiobooks, and I don't want to worry about running down my phone battery while on the go. (So my touch serves as a back-up battery of sorts, lol.)
I also feel more comfortable reading on my touch on public transit, because I keep all my contacts, email and other private data off of it. So if my touch were stolen or grabbed, I would be at less risk of data theft.
It's not a big deal if they discontinue the touch, though, because I could use an old iPhone for the same purposes. I bought a touch 4 at the time because the screen is much better than on my old iPhone 3G, which I could've used as my "backup battery and theft protection" device.
