Sprint recently raised its offer to $3.40 per share after shareholders had criticized its original proposal of $2.97 per share.

The iPod touch has been one of Apple?s top-selling products, making up half of all iPods sold. The company?s announcement came following its quiet release of a new entry-level model. The device shares nearly all the same features as the fifth-generation iPod touch, however it does not include a rear iSight camera and is only available in silver.
