Manufacturer's Description

See, hear, touch everything that entertains you on one really great iPod.
iPod touch lets you enjoy everything you love about an iPod, and then some. Watch your movies and TV shows on a brilliant 3.5-inch display. Use the revolutionary Multi-Touch interface to flick through your music in Cover Flow. And anytime you’re itching for more entertainment, just tap iTunes to browse and buy on the fly.

Music
With room for up to 14,000 songs and up to 30 hours of audio playback time, iPod touch gives you nonstop musical entertainment. And the new Genius Mixes and Voice Control features add even more ways for you to experience your music.

Operate your iPod Touch via the new Voice control feature

Voice Control
You listen to music, and now your music listens to you. The new 32GB and 64GB iPod touch models feature Voice Control. So you can tell iPod touch to play songs from a specific playlist or artist. Or speak simple commands such as “shuffle,” “pause,” and “next song.” You can even ask for the name of the track that’s currently playing (and hear iPod touch answer you).

Genius Mixes
Now the Genius feature is even more powerful. Introducing Genius Mixes. All you do is sync iPod touch to iTunes, and Genius automatically searches your library and finds songs that sound great together. Then creates up to 12 mixes you’ll love. These mixes are like channels programmed entirely with your music.

Genius Playlists
Say you’re listening to a song on your iPod touch that you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. Just tap the Genius icon. Genius automatically finds songs on your iPod touch that go great with your selected song and makes a Genius playlist for you.

Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic The new 32GB and 64GB iPod touch models come with the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic, which are perfect for using the Voice Memos app and Voice Control.

Movies + TV Shows
Your very own private screening awaits you on iPod touch. Watch the latest film release or an episode of your favourite sitcom anytime you want. Store up to 80 hours of video and get up to 6 hours of video playback time on the new iPod touch.

iTunes
Part of what makes iPod touch so amazing is that iTunes is literally at your fingertips. A Wi-Fi connection and a quick tap are all it takes to get instant access to millions of songs and thousands of movies and TV shows. Not to mention applications, audiobooks, and free podcasts and iTunes U lectures. Preview and buy that album you’ve been wanting. Rent that film everyone raved about, or make it part of your collection. iTunes on iPod touch is your doorway to endless entertainment possibilities.

Surf the web, send email, and get directions from anywhere you are.
Most of what you do online with a computer can easily be done on iPod touch. Built-in Wi-Fi means you can check your favourite blogs, write an email with a photo attached, or find out how to get to that new restaurant. When you think about it, iPod touch is a computer in your pocket. How handy is that?

Type your emails in either landscape or portrait mode

Mail
Email on iPod touch looks and acts just like email on your computer. View your messages in rich HTML, including attachments. Mail recognizes file types such as .doc, .jpg, .mp3, and many others. And setting up Mail is easy because iPod touch automatically enters settings for popular accounts including Gmail, MobileMe, Yahoo!, AOL, and Microsoft Exchange.

Keyboard
Typing on iPod touch is easy. That’s because it has an intelligent keyboard that predicts and suggests words as you type. Writing something lengthy? When you turn iPod touch on its side, the keyboard switches from portrait to landscape with larger keys and more room to type.

Improved Performance
The new iPod touch — available in 32GB and 64GB models — is up to 50 percent faster than the previous-generation iPod touch. So apps launch faster and web pages load in a fraction of the time.

Wireless
If you’re somewhere with a wireless network, iPod touch instantly recognizes it. If it’s free Wi-Fi, you’re good to go. Launch any one of your Wi-Fi-dependent apps, such as Safari or iTunes, and you’re on. Some wireless networks may require a password, but iPod touch has that covered, too. Just enter the password once, and iPod touch remembers it. So the next time you’re within range of that network, you’re connected automatically.

Safari
Safari — an advanced web browser designed for Mac and PC computers — also comes on iPod touch. Safari on iPod touch lets you can carry the full-size power of the Internet in your pocket. Just connect to a Wi-Fi network, and you can use Safari for nearly everything you do using a web browser on a computer. In fact, web pages look exactly the same on iPod touch as they do on your computer.

Stay in touch with your friends via Facebook, Aim, Twitter and other social networks

Maps
Know where you are and where you’re going with Maps on iPod touch. If you’re connected to a wireless network, you can find your location and get a list of turn-by-turn directions. Maps also finds points of interest from a keyword search. Say you and your friends have a craving for pizza. Tap Search, type in “pizza,” and Maps shows you restaurants nearby.

Social Networking
iPod touch is the only iPod that helps you stay connected. So anytime you find yourself saying “I need to make that my Facebook status” or “This deserves a tweet,” pull out your iPod touch. Social networking apps such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and AIM are just a tap away.

Get your game on with friends across the room or across the globe.
Games for iPod touch are made to take advantage of its built-in technologies such as the accelerometer, Multi-Touch, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The result is truly immersive gameplay — whether you’re playing alone or with others in multiplayer mode. And with an App Store that offers thousands of games ready to download and play, the fun of iPod touch never ends.

Performance and Graphics
The new 32GB and 64GB iPod touch models feature improved performance and support for OpenGL ES Version 2.0, which lets developers create games with superior graphics. So games launch noticeably faster, and you experience richer, more lifelike textures and detail.

Browse, buy and play 1000s of games directly from your iPod touch

App Store
Make your iPod touch even more amazing with the App Store. All you need is a Wi-Fi connection. Browse over 75,000 games and apps, and buy whatever you like with just a tap.

A new feature of iPod touch makes finding cool new apps even easier. It’s Genius for apps, and it works just like Genius for your music. Tap the Genius icon and get recommendations for apps that you might like based on those you already downloaded.

Accelerometer
The accelerometer inside iPod touch detects when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes what you see onscreen. But the beauty of the accelerometer comes into play when you’re actually in play. For instance, in racing games where your entire iPod becomes the steering wheel. Or balance games, such as Topple.

Multi-Touch
What sets iPod touch apart from traditional handheld gaming devices is its revolutionary Multi-Touch interface. It means you’re not just playing a game, you’re interacting with the game. Turn your fingers into an expert skateboarder. Test your reflexes as you’re challenged to tap through the beats of a song. You can even transform iPod touch into a musical instrument such as a drum set or a guitar. It’s all thanks to the brilliance of Multi-Touch technology.

Over 75,000 applications.
With thousands of games available on the App Store, your iPod touch is an arcade in your pocket. Choose from game types such as puzzle, strategy, role-playing, and more. In addition to games, you can shop for apps in categories such as music, entertainment, social networking, and a host of others. All of which make your iPod touch uniquely yours, and the best iPod you’ll ever own.

Customer Reviews

The Ultimate Gadget
Having previously commented on one of the rather unhelpful 'reviews' (I thought a review was supposed to inform potential buyers?) about the 64GB touch already, I am, since last week the owner of one. I already own a 60GB Ipod Photo from about 5 years ago, which has given great service and has now been assigned to use in the car (the new Touch is just too precious!)

Though very comparable to the Iphone, I use my mobile phone very little and felt that the Touch would fulfil my needs better and not tie me into an expensive contract.

Being used to just music and photo capability the new Touch is a revelation given the multitude of features available. Apple are unsurpassed as far as user friendliness is concerned (no I do not work for them) and this allowed me to simply unpack, charge and sync with iTunes.

The Safari web browser is great to use. It could never be quite as easy as a PC given the 3.5" screen, but I have been pleasantly surprised with just how versatile it is. I have found myself switching on the PC far less as a result. The email works really well too. Video playback is excellent and there are already several movies now stored on my Ipod.

It is also extremely easy to download Apps, and also easy to forget that you can do it straight onto the Touch itself!

Battery life is respectable and realistic given the size of the screen and power of this device. My previous Apple mains charger works fine with this anyway, so regular charging is no big deal.

All in all, if you can afford the price tag, you will not go wrong buying this brilliant little gadget. I paid more that this for my last Ipod five years ago and have been patiently waiting for a 64GB model to be released. I love it, and doubt that I will need to upgrade again for quite some time.

Fantastic
I got my 64gig ipod touch 3g last week so it has not been long since i've owned one. It was a big step due to the price as this is my first ipod, before this I had been using 400 minidisks and some very out-dated sony minidisk players using the terrible SonicStage software. You can imagine how amazed I have been with the features of the ipod touch in this context. Shelves and shelves of cds and minidisks are now in a tiny ipod...amazing!

The space is the thing I am most pleased with, my entire music collection of 7,000 songs is on it, as well as a good few movies and tv shows and some apps...most notably some old point-and-click adventures that I used to play as a kid...still 20-odd gig left to go. itunes has been a very good programme for me, far far better than the ones I have used previously...I run it on my home pc (win xp).

The ease of use is fantastic, the menus took no time at all to get used to and i'm now pretty good at getting round it...really intuituve The wifi has been very useful when out and about in town, its so easy to find information quickly.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a portable media player with a decent ammount of space, I was originally considering a 32gig but am so pleased I went with this...the extra space has proved very useful.

The best just got better....
Bought this to augment my original Touch (along with a 32gb for the girlfriend) and I am very impressed. The wi-fi is quicker, the sound is slightly better, the voice control is a really useful feature (enabling you to leave it in your pocket out of sight) and the headphones are, as usual, really poor. Having a microphone in the headphone lead means you can now use Skype for free phone calls (in a wi-fi area) without being told you cannot use it over 3G like on my iPhone. The Skype app is free from the iTunes store. I can finally sell my first Touch and replace my 80gb Classic with this beauty. Highly recommended.
