[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1610171"] Define "good." The iPod touch is unquestionably the top-selling iPod, but take a look at the financials breakdowns for the past few quarters and bear in mind that the iPod touch is considered part of the iPod family. A lot of other businesses would be happy with the iPod's sales these days, but for Apple I doubt it represents even two percent of their business. In the March quarter of this year, Apple sold 2.8 million iPods (of all sorts) total. That is HALF the number it sold a year earlier. I think (again, just my opinion based on years of watching Apple) that the iPod touch will be kept as-is (potentially gaining a small spec bump, like more storage) for the indeterminate future, until sales are even lower (so like two-three more quarters) and then killed off, exactly as the Classic was.
