They will probably make multiple iPod Touch models, though, or possibly even revamp all the iPods to have touchscreens, as has been rumored.

I was talking with a group of about 8 people the other day, and the topic of cell phones came up. All 8 of us had purchased cell phones in the last 5 years, and some had purchased 3 cell phones in that period. It takes large amounts of water and other natural resources to manufacture these phones, and they contain heavy metals and other toxic chemicals that have to be recycled. I think we should try to promote the idea that cell phones and other consumer electronics should have much longer life spans. And of course, with each new cell phone comes another distracted driver/media addict, amusing him- or herself to death with the latest techno gadget.
