Manufacturer's Description

Touch Comes to iPod.

Music, video, photos, and websites in 8GB and 16GB models

 

 

Multi-touch

iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone. Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the multi-touch interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page. And iPod touch features a touchscreen QWERTY keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, entering calendar events, or adding new contacts.

Ambient Light Sensor

The iPod touch display has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness to suit the ambient light in your surroundings. The result? A better experience for you and battery-saving efficiency for iPod touch.

 

Accelerometer

An accelerometer detects when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page, your music in Cover Flow, or a photo in its proper aspect ratio.

 

Touchscreen iPod

Music

If a picture says a thousand words, think of what all the album art in your collection might say. With Cover Flow on iPod touch, you can flick through your music to find the album you want to hear. And when you do, a quick tap of the cover flips it over to display a track list. Another tap starts the music.

 

Video

The 3.5-inch display gives you video like nothing you’ve seen before on a portable device. Watch your favorite movie. Catch up on television shows, anywhere. Enjoy video podcasts. Play music videos. All using multi-touch technology that lets you bring up onscreen controls and go widescreen (or back to full screen) with a tap.

Photos

iPod touch holds up to 20,000 photos you sync via iTunes. Flick to scroll through thumbnails. Tap to view full screen. Rotate for landscape format. Or perform some sleight of hand by opening two fingers to zoom in. You can even play slideshows, complete with music and transitions. Set any photo as your wallpaper to personalize your iPod touch...with a touch.

 

Wi-Fi Web Browser

Safari

With Apple’s Safari browser built in, iPod touch is the only iPod that gives you wireless access to the web, everywhere you go. See websites the way they were designed to be seen. Sync your bookmarks or add a few as you go. Search the web using the touchscreen keyboard. Zoom in and out by tapping the multi-touch display.

YouTube

Got a bit of a YouTube addiction? iPod touch feeds it from anywhere with a special YouTube player built right in. Watch featured videos, check out the most viewed, search for something specific, then bookmark your favorites for future reference. It’s all the fun of YouTube — pocket-size.

iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store

With iPod touch, you can discover new music anywhere. Built-in wireless capability gives you access to the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, where you can buy songs with a tap. Browse New Releases, What’s Hot, and Just Added lists. Or find exactly what you’re looking for with a quick search. Tap a song to preview it or tap Buy to purchase it. From anywhere.

Customer Reviews

Vista
I actually think the ipod touch is a fabulous piece of technology, but, I've judged on the weakest link, vista compliance. All other generations of ipod are compliant so why not the touch? I've tried every possible option but end up with the message that it's a camera and no drivers are available.

the best thing I have bought in a very long time!
at first I was worried at the price of the touch ipod and was sceptible that it wasn't 'that' good. how I was wrong! So many functions and it looks amazing as well!

So sexy.. I love it.
I got the 8GB iPod touch for christmas and keep discovering more great things as I use it.
The music player is the least important function for me. I really like the way it displays photos, I am using the calendar (which incidentally does allow you to key in new appointments with a touch screen Qwerty keyboard that's easy to use)and I'm transferring all my contact information to Outlook so that I can sync it with the ipod and have a great address book at hand. The clock functions are brilliant too.

Downsides...
Chargers and car adapters etc are ridiculously expensive
8Gb is too small as I have exceeded this capacity in music alone and have to hand select songs.... shame it is not expandable.
