Apple may be ready to launch a 3G-equipped iPod touch as soon as this month, a source claims. The company has allegedly worked out contract-free plans with its carrier partners that are similar to those for the iPad. A speculated reason for the push is iCloud, since Apple might want to ensure the device keeps up with other iOS hardware. Because the current Touch is restricted to Wi-Fi, it can only sync with iCloud in a limited number of places, meaning that a person might as well sync with their Mac or Windows PC in many instances.
