The 64GB iPod touch (Blue) (5th Generation) from Apple has now reach its 5th generation, offering an incredible iPod touch as a music player, video camera, pocket computer and portable gaming device all in a single sleek anodized aluminum with exceptional battery life. The iPod touch offers a powerful A5 processor. The iPod touch also features the stunning Retina display with a Multi-Touch interface found on the iPhone 5.

The iPod The touch has front and rear cameras for taking photos and videos, as well as having live video chats over Wi-Fi with FaceTime. The internal accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope provide more motion gestures and terrific precision for an amazing gaming experience, which can be combined with the Game Center feature of iOS 6 to play against your friends. The touch also connects to the App Store and iTunes, offers multitasking, allows you to connect to the Internet, check email, and much more.

Design

Anodized Aluminum
This iPod touch features an anodized aluminum unibody design, similar to the Apple's MacBook line. It's only 0.24" (6.1mm) thin and weighs just 3.1 ounces (88 grams). Aside from the ultraportable design, the anodized aluminum unibody features a supersmooth finish highlighted by its polished beveled edges
A Wide Variety of Colors
This iPod touch now comes in a variety of colors. You can choose from black, white, pink, yellow and blue. However, don't be fooled. The colors are not just painted on the surface, but they've been anodized right into the aluminum body. What you get is a saturated color that still lets the luster of the metal shine through
4" Retina Display
The screen of this iPod touch didn't get any wider, just taller. This means you can still operate the iPod touch with just one hand and your thumb gets extra room to navigate through iOS. The display also got more advanced, with finger-friendly, gestured-enabled Multi-Touch technology built right into the glass instead of beneath it. The 4" Retina display has an in-plane switching (IPS) panel that is capable of producing a native resolution of 1136 x 640 at 326 pixels per inch (ppi), an 800:1 contrast ratio, and a 500cd/m² max brightness. The screen also has a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating
iPod touch Loop
The iPod touch loop is a colorful way to keep your iPod touch securely attached to your wrist. You can use it to shoot from a hard-to-reach camera angle, flip your iPod touch up for a quick iMessage or just carry it around pocketless. The loop also keeps your iPod touch safe from a slip, fumble or drop because it's securely connected to your wrist
Apple EarPods
While the older Apple earbuds have gotten a lot of criticism for nothing fitting well and having poor sound quality, Apple has reinvented them into the Apple EarPods. The Apple EarPods were designed to fit the ear, not the other way around. It has a front vent, a rear vent, a bass vent and a primary acoustic outlet to provide deeper bass and better audio all around while staying stable in your ears
Eco-Friendly
Good design doesn't only mean making a stylish product, but also taking into account the environmental impact. That's why the iPod touch from Apple is made from highly recyclable materials, such as aluminum. Also, every iPod touch is free of toxic materials, such as brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

Music

Cover Flow
Turn the iPod touch into landscape mode to reveal Cover Flow. In Cover Flow, you can glide through your music by album art with the flick of your finger. The taller 4" Retina display also gives you more space to maneuver
Genius Playlists and Mixes
Genius finds complementary songs of your favorite songs and puts them in a Genius playlist for your convenience. You can also let Genius automatically search your library to find songs that go great together and make mixes for you
iTunes and iCloud
Buy and download new music on your iPod touch over Wi-Fi with the iTunes app. If you have your iPod touch linked to your iCloud account, it will automatically push your just purchased songs to all your other Apple devices, such as your iPad, iPhone, Mac and even PC computers
Bluetooth and Airplay
Pair your iPod touch to Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as a pair of headphones. You can also stream music from your iPod touch to AirPlay-enabled speakers over Wi-Fi to your home entertainment system via Apple TV or any speaker connected to an AirPort Express

Camera

Rear iSight Camera
This iPod touch has a rear iSight camera, which has tap to focus, an LED flash and face detection. With the 5-megapixel iSight camera, you'll be taking pictures with seven times the amount of pixels of the previous iPod touch as well as recording video in 1080p, complete with video stabilization
Front FaceTime HD Camera
This iPod touch also has a front 1.2-megapixel FaceTime HD camera, capable of recording video in 720p. You can also access FaceTime to chat with friends and family in crystal clear HD quality, using the front FaceTime HD camera
Panorama
With the Panorama function, you'll be able to point, shoot and move the camera across the scene for up to 240 degrees. The gyroscope, A5 chip and sophisticated software work together to create a single seamless shot
In-App Editing

        Comments about Apple 64GB iPod touch (Blue) (5th Generation):

        I have had a Nano for many years and needed something with more memory. Although I love my Nano, I thought it was time to upgrade. Little did I know what I was receiving! This iPod is the same as an iPad, with all the bells and whistles. I call it my 'iPad Nano', as I now have both in one place. It is very thin and lightweight, and can be carried in a pocket or purse with no problem. I love the fact that I am able to take it anywhere and have everything at my fingertips. My only complaints are that they changed the connector so that you cannot use existing connectors that you have, and you also cannot add memory, if needed.

                Replacing my 3rd Generation to the 5th Generation makes a big difference.
                So many more apps and games.
                Perfect improvement.

                Comments about Apple 64GB iPod touch (Blue) (5th Generation):

                this is my third itouch,
                (previously had 2g and 4g).
                it just keeps getting better.
                i tried a Samsung android, trying to sync playlist. with different apps free or paid was to frustrating.
                i came back to itouch, and im glad i did.
                its worth payiing for 64gb as i have a huge library.
                the player size is nice, larger screen but very thin.
                colors are also nice, why do players come in boring colors? how much does it cost to toss in some color?
                the new sync cord is a nice upgrade, much easier to plug in.
                the itunes new software takes a little getting used too, probably not for the timid.
                it would be nice for Apple to toss in a headset with remote for the price. The headset with remote is a must.
                All and all I can recommend the itouch 5g

                      Comments about Apple 64GB iPod touch (Blue) (5th Generation):

                      This my 4th ipod in the last 7 or 8 years and I have grown to depend on them for long trips and as a total replacement for CD's even at home. I really like this one and am very happy I was able to buy it. With every release the product does seem to get better. Though I don't play games on it or use many of the other features it has I do still like the slightly larger and clearer screen as I do use and therefore manipulate this much while in the car. This one is a little easier than my last unit. I buy the 64gb model because I usually load many podcasts, many audiobooks and maybe 2 full audio versions of the bible. If you are not doing all of this, you may do well with just the 32gb. An interesting thing to note here is that I ordered this just before the big hurricane hit NJ and NY. I didn't realize B&H was in the midst of Sandy's path prior to ordering it. Considering all that happened, B&H shipped this out to me with only a 2 day delay. It was more than what was expected on something not that important. I have trusted B&H for a long time and they seem like a 5-star outfit.
