Update for Future iPhone and iPod Touch: Just read our new reports: iPod touch 5th generation, iphone 5 release, iphone 6 release
With the Palm Pre providing perhaps the first legitimate iPhone threat in the market, it’s only natural to expect the game-changing handset’s next generation to step it up a legitimate notch. With the rumors of the next iPhone hardware featuring quad-core processors, I think we’re set for the next level of market battles.

Both the current generation of iPhone and iPod Touch hardware uses a less powerful version of that exact same chip which makes it a likely choice for a future upgrade.

Regardless of which chip actually powers both the iPhone and iPod Touch on their next hardware revision, a four-core upgrade should provide a serious scare to handheld game console manufacturers everywhere.
