Apple has taken the stage today at today's "Let's talk iPhone event" to show off, among other products, an upgrade to the well-known iPod touch, the multi-touch device that shares many attributes of the iPhone except for the ability to make calls or send SMS.
It's Apple announcement day today, and we've been treated to a couple of new devices. One of those announcements that might not get that much attention is the new iPod nano 7th-generation, which builds on the already super awesome little iPod that we all know and love.
If multiple reports are to be believed, Apple could be set to wield the axe on two of its best selling pieces of hardware, and one of them has been around for a good 10 years.
It's September already, which to all iPod enthusiasts across the world means new and refreshed iPod hardware.

Rumors and reports supporting the release of a white iPod touch are springing up these day. We reported on white iPod touch parts (the front panel, at least) a week ago which were from Asia and today we’ve learned of these parts arriving in the USA. Photos after the break.
Our friends over at 9to5Mac have received photos of what looks to be either the face of an old iPod touch 4G prototype or, as we believe, the face of the next iPod touch: the iPod touch 5G which is expected to come with 3G-connectivity built-in.
