Rumours have emerged from a Japanese tech blog Macotakara that hints of a fifth generation iPod with a Lcd 4” screen is coming in the Autumn. This will further add credence to the iPhone 5 4” screen rumours, because apple will need to keep to the same screen size for all new devices that they intend to launch, because it will keep the fragmentation issues to the minimum which seems to plague the Android platform . 

The new iPod will be getting a design change and it will also feature the same duel core A5 processor what is used in the  current iPhone 4S phone according to Macotakara, which will be an upgrade from the A4 chip that is used in the current generation of the iPod. The A5 processor will deliver up to two times more power and seven times faster graphics, this will ensure what ever demanding tasks you throw at it it will handle them with ease and smoothness. The new iPod will also most likely feature the smaller doc connector that is rumoured to be included in the up and coming iPhone 5. No news as of yet have been released concerning the camera specifications, but it will most likely be getting the same camera that came with the new iPad , which was a 5 mp camera.  

The fifth generation of the iPod will probably be released the same time as the Iphone 5, that will most likely be either September or October. These devices are likely to come with the new iOS 6 software that will also come with the new apple map software.
