New Apple iPods Part 1: Meet The iPod Touch


I’m sure very little of this is a surprise considering Apple’s big event had more leaks than a Russian nuclear power plant, but Apple has introduced a new kind of iPod, called the iPod Touch.

The most noticeable features are the big 3.5in display, with touchscreen controls - a la iPhone – and, for the first time on an iPod, in-built Wi-Fi which can be used with the new iTunes Wi-Fi store for browsing and purchasing tunes on the move. It’s 8mm thin and Flash-based, with an 8GB and 16GB model.

Features like Cover Flow will allow you to browse your music collection by album cover using your finger to scroll. It sports the Safari Web browser onboard, as well as Google Search, Yahoo oneSearch and Apple’s YouTube application.

The 4GB and 8GB models are due in a few weeks and cost £199 and £269, respectively.
