I don't see anything about a new gen Touch on wiki either and they'll usually drop rumours in the article. One came out last year though. Maybe that's what he meant? *shrug*
I only want a Touch for apps since, you know, it's better than paying like $10k a year for an iPhone. :( I've actually been managing just fine playing songs off my DS or my cell phone since I lost it and I've only got a capacity of about 1GB on those, haha.
