Meet the iPod Touch
If an iPod Nano and Apple's iPhone ever had a kid, it would surely look something like the youngest iPod family member: the iPod Touch. The Touch gets its moniker from its responsive touch screen, the smooth front side surface that lets you navigate through your music, videos, and photos with a tap or drag of your finger.
While it may have inherited its sensitivity from the iPhone, the Touch gets its stability from the same flash memory that's inside the Nano. No matter how hard you're running or rocking out, you'll probably never hear your music skip (something that's not always true with the spinning hard-drive based Classic). You get about 36 hours of audio playback on a battery charge—or 6 hours of video.
Speaking of video, the iPod Touch also has the iPhone's eye-catching 3.5-inch widescreen and 480 by 320 pixel resolution. Flip it sideways to see why it makes movies and TV shows look so good. Apple gives you three Touches to choose from: an 8-gigabyte model, a 16-gigabyte version, or one that can store 32 gigs of your favorite stuff. That's 1,750 songs or 10 hours of iPod-friendly video on the 8 GB Touch; 3,500 songs or 20 hours of video on the 16 GB model; and a nice healthy 7,000 songs and 40 hours of video on the big 32-gigabyte model.
But the iPod Touch is much more than just a pretty face. In addition to all its regular iPod capabilities, like listening to music or showing off your latest photos, this iPod can reach right out and touch the Internet. Thanks ...
