So based on the Mac Rumors post you get a 16 GB at $199 with all the features of the 32 GB+ model.

Only issue is that 16 GB just doesn't seem like enough for an iPod. Even though I mainly use mine as a camera, I still have a lot of music stored on it. I would like to see a hardware refresh but as awesome as the iPod Touch is, it remains a niche product.

I still think the iPod touch is a great entry level iOS device but if this pattern continues I might have to change that to the iPad mini.
I agree that 16 GB is not enough for the iPod touch, I would like to see a 32 GB start at $199 then a 64 for $249, 128 for $299 and a 256 for $399.
