1. I'm going to break this list down, point by point. -Radio (without Wi-Fi) Possibly, but I wouldn't put money on it. Apple wants people to use the App Store for apps, and you'll find a great deal of radio apps there, and that wouldn't go well with all the developers. Apple also seems to think that people would rather listen to their own music than a radio channel, so I'm not so sure about this. -Better still photos camera. 2MP-5MP. Yup, this is probably coming. They added the camera on the 4th generation, and it would make sense to get a better camera on the 5th generation, seeing as there's rumours about a much better camera on the new iPhone 5. -Possibly 3D camera system i.e. 2 cameras on back. Never. The market for this is just not big enough, and with the crappy censors in mobile devices that's not going to happen. -Camera with Flash We might see this as a part of the camera improvement, so I generally agree. -Camera creates videos in 1080p instead of 720p. With a possible camera improvement, this is something that probably will happen. -3G service for ipod tocuh with micro sim card, like the ipad. I highly doubt it, that would make the gap between the iPhone and the iPod Touch much smaller, especially considering you can Facetime and use VoIP apps, so it would only eat away a larger portion of the iPhone market, and Apple earns more money per iPhone than per iPod Touch. -Will be even quicker. I agree with this. -Built-in GPS for maps and other services. I highly doubt this as well, see my comment about 3G service. -Silencer button that is on the iphone. Not really needed on a music device, so I doubt it. -A Separate button for orientation lock. I doubt this as well, it would only make it seems larger and chunkier, and this can be done from iOS instead. -Facetime over 3G. This requires you to have a 3G connection, which I think we won't see in a few more years, if ever. -Show the battery percentage next to the battery icon. This is not a 5th gen specific change, probably just an iOS change. -Allow data and time to be shown in the top middle of the device. This requires you to have a 3G connection, which I think we won't see in a few more years, if ever. -Media bar like the Nokia 5233. Possible change in the next iOS version, but not a specific 5th gen change. -Improved Retina Display Possibly, but not until the 6th gen. -3D Retina Display Screen to be in competition with the Nintendo 3DS Highly doubt it. -Wireless Syncing with iTunes on PC & Mac. Possibly an iOS change, and they might make this available for 4th and 5th gen iPod Touch customers only. -Have home screen wallpapers with a different picture for each page. Makes no sense, would just create a messy interface. -Apple's A5 chip. Yup, speed improvement. This is likely. -More RAM (ie: 256MB to 512MB). Also likely. -HDMI Video Output with mirroring image. This is probably reserved for the iPad, as it's somewhere between an iPod Touch and a notebook. -Camera button to take photos. Doesn't add up with the iOS/touch philosophy. I highly doubt it. -A larger 4" inch screen to be in competition with android and other company's who have 4" inch screens. Never. -Bluetooth other products besides apple. I think this is already possible? -Download Youtube videos onto device. Not so sure about this. -Wider range of video formats. Apple likes to control the formats, and they want you to use iTunes and iTMS for most of your media, so I doubt it. -Be able to record music from web pages on device. I doubt it. -Change names of songs, videos and playlists on the device itself. Possible iOS change, but that would make iTunes somewhat more oblivious, and that's not something they would want. -Can change calendar sounds in the calendar app. Possible iOS update. -SD card slot for photos. They want you to get an iPad instead, so I doubt it. -Delete synced photos off the device itself. Possibly. -USB slot or memory card slot for expandable memory. Never. -Homescreen landscape mode. Screen is too small. -In notes and other apps allow a tab button on the keyboard. Would be done by touch if anything. -Custom Email alter tones. Possibly. -New way to unlock device, like draw a path. Possible iOS update. FLASH SUPPORT! -Never. Wow.. Wall of text, but that's at least what I think about the points you brought up.
2. I'd love to see all these in the 5g but unfortunately apple will probably only do some every generation. If you jailbreak you can do some of these though: different wallpapers for each page, homescreen in landscape and to show the battery percentage. Apple has firmly said they will not use flash because they don't like how adobe operates as a service.
3. The list you gave is amazing, but one should also consider that the features for iPod Touch simply follows the iPhone for that year. Likewise, since it's rumored that the next-gen iPhone would only have a Camera upgrade (up to 8MP) and A5 Chip processor, it's obvious the 5G 'iTouch' would have this feature. But we don't mind if it'll have 3D-enabled screens right? Source: http://pinoytutorial.com/techtorial/ipod-touch-5g-specs-w-3d-release-date-pending/
4. Most of these things can be done already, if you jailbreak your iPod Touch.
