Apple 32GB iPod touch (4th Generation)
Apple's popular 32GB iPod touch now reaches its 4th generation, offering an incredible iPod, video camera, pocket computer, and portable game player all in a single sleek unit with exceptional battery life. The iPod touch offers the same powerful A4 processor as the iPhone 4, as well as the stunning Retina Display with a Multi-Touch interface, which allows you to use your fingers to control all aspects of the iPod.
The touch has front and rear cameras for taking photos and videos, as well as having live video chats over WiFi 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 5 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.
- Sleek Design
- At only 7.2mm thin, this is the thinnest iPod touch yet. The glass face and stainless steel back provide a clean look and excellent durability for a device that's equally at home in your hand or in your pocket
- Retina Display
- The iPod touch features the same stunning 3.5" Retina Display as the iPhone 4. It has 4 times the pixel count of the previous iPod touch - so many that the human eye can't distinguish individual pixels. This makes for ultra-sharp graphics, images, and text; perfect for games, photos, videos, and iBooks
- Multi-Touch Control
- The Multi-Touch display lets you easily access your content, change the aspect ratio, or control media playback with the touch of a finger. Scroll through screens slowly by dragging your finger or flick it across the screen to cover more ground. The touch makes it simple and easy to control your media. The touch features a pop-up QWERTY keyboard that lets you type emails or search for music and videos in the iTunes Store
- A4 Processor
- The iPod touch uses the same A4 processor that's found in the iPhone 4 and iPad. This chip is remarkably powerful yet power-efficient so it can perform complex functions like multitasking and video editing, while simultaneously maximizing battery life
- Capacity
- The 32GB of solid-state flash memory serves as a reliable home for your music, videos, photos, and apps
- Front and Rear Cameras
- Cameras are found on both the face and the rear of the iPod touch. The front camera records 640 x 480 VGA-quality photos and video at 30fps, while the rear camera records HD 720p video at 30fps, and captures still photos at 960 x 720 (0.7 megapixels). Both cameras can be used during FaceTime calls
- FaceTime
- Apple's FaceTime technology lets you video chat with your friends and loved ones in real-time over WiFi thanks to the integrated cameras. You can even switch back and forth between the 2 cameras during a chat so your chat partner can see you or what you're looking at 1
- Video Editing
- Basic video trimming can be performed on the iPod touch, while more complex movie editing can be performed using Apple's iMove app, available separately in the App store
- Game Center
- Apple's Game Center, first introduced in iOS 4, allows you to rank your game scores and compare achievements against your friends. You can also challenge your friends (or automatically chosen strangers) in multiplayer games
- iOS 5
- The iOS 5 software provides a wealth of advanced features, including iCloud, AirPlay, AirPrint, iMessage, Notification Center, and more
- Volume Controls
- Built-in volume controls allow you to make quick adjustments
- Built-in Speaker
- Enjoy casual listening with the integrated speaker
- Stereo Earbuds
- The included stereo earbuds provide high-quality audio so you can enjoy your music and movies to their fullest. The iPod touch also supports headphones that have an integrated microphone and remote control, allowing you to take voice notes or make voice recordings, as well as control music playback and adjust volume
- Long-Lasting Battery with Fast Charge Time
- The touch will provide autonomy for up to 40 hours of music or 7 hours of video playback. You can charge your iPod touch to 80% capacity in about 2 hours and to full capacity in only 4 hours
- iTunes Store
- The iTunes Store can be accessed via WiFi, allowing you to preview and download all of your favorite songs and videos. You can even buy or rent television shows and movies
- App Store
- Download thousands of applications and games that take full advantage of groundbreaking technology, including Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, gyroscope, real-time 3D graphics, and 3D positional sound. Apple's Genius technology will also give you recommendations for apps that you might enjoy
- 3-Axis Gyroscope
- The 3-Axis gyroscope provides advanced motion sensing, full 3D attitude, and rotation awareness for an even more robust gaming experience
- Accelerometer
- The touch senses its orientation and switches automatically from portrait to landscape to aid in viewing an entire web page, a photo in its proper aspect ratio, or to access Cover Flow when listening to music
- Ambient Light Sensor
- The touch's ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the touch's brightness to suit your environment and to conserve battery power
- Voice Control and Memos
- The iPod can use its built-in mic or recognize an external mic to accept voice commands and take voice memos
- Genius Playlists and Mixes
- Apple's Genius Playlists and Genius Mixes allow you to hear a song that you like and instantly create a "smart" playlist or endless mix of similar songs with the touch of a button

The 4th generation of iPod does it all! We are using it primarily at home through our wireless router for Skype audio communication. It is a pity that we cannot use the cameras of iPod in Skype or any other platform except the Apple's "Face Time". The device is easy to setup and the display is bright and clear specially for indoor applications. iTune installation requirement for iPod, to me, is a major drawback of Apple's mobile devices, in particular when you are not using Apple's operational system. The iTune software and drivers for example are not optimized for MS windows operating systems (OS). I had driver conflicts with XP and Windows7 after iTune installation. Admittedly you can't be optimal in all frontiers. A savvy user can disable some of the start-up services and features of iTune after the installation on other OS to limit the performance loss. In general it is a reliable product for browsing, voice communication, and music.

The retina display is great but unfortunately the new iPod Touch does NOT have the same 5MP camera as the iPhone. It has a 480x320 pixel front camera (VGA) and the rear camera is less than 1 megapixel (960 x 720 pixels which is .7 to be exact).
So, this looks to be a great product unless you, like me, really wanted a decent camera in it. It is beyond me why Apple purposely put a low resolution camera (with no flash) in an otherwise excellent product. I guess they were concerned it would impact sales of the iPhone if it were too nice. Also, the new photo apps like HDR that Steve Jobs demonstrated will only work w/ the iPhone, not this iPod touch.

Comments about Apple 32GB iPod touch (4th Generation):
I didnt know what to expect when I first got it.
Had to read the manual to figure out how to use it.But once I got the hang of it,I love it!!!
I love how you can scroll with your finger to choose the songs you want to listen to. And I love the fact it has built in apps for internet access.I would recommend it to other people.
It is very user friendly!!

Comments about Apple 32GB iPod touch (4th Generation):
I needed an MP3 player with Bluetooth that could hold a good battery charge...the older one I have was pretty good to start with, but even with a brand-new battery just doesn't last any more. (Go figure.) I'm pretty happy with my first iPod's tone quality (and that comment comes from a well trained vocal musician). I was delighted to learn I didn't have to buy a dock to get music on speakers...just a cable to AUX input on my stereo or car radio. Setup was not a total breeze...my music was all messed up with gaps in it, and I had to reset the unit and start the sync over (and not do anything else on the computer while sync-ing). What I really don't like is that I can't augment the memory with a microSD card, like I can on my phone. We'll see about its overall battery life...

Comments about Apple 32GB iPod touch (4th Generation):
I love this device! I've used it as a pseudo-phone over wi-fi, I've made some really good quality videos, and documented a whole vacation with my iPod! The front/rear cameras is a nice touch. As soon as I got this iPod I upgraded to the latest iOS and glad I did. The only complaint I have has to do with Apple, not the device. There will always be problems with that beast, iTunes. Thank goodness for alternatives. Like I said I am 100% satisfied!

Comments about Apple 32GB iPod touch (4th Generation):
I upgraded from the original itouch which I had for 4 years, and now another family member uses it! I upgraded for my side business (musician) to record rehearsals. Great for travel - all your contacts, click on an address and instant GPS, show family I visit all our photos; favorite tunes without the commercials, discreetly check my email at work. I love learning so download apps to stay fresh with a foreign language or keep recipies handy. This works cheaper than having an iphone and I use a basic cell phone.

Comments about Apple 32GB iPod touch (4th Generation):
if you have used apples products before then you what the iPod is about. But if not, then an ipod touch bring you so much. it brings you apps for just about anything you can think of, games, movies, music, camera and photo storage, and browsing the internet ( a little hard on such a small screen). So much fun entertainment, and convenience in a small package.

Comments about Apple 32GB iPod touch (4th Generation):
Even a Grandma can easily learn to use iTunes and this iPod. Since it's a iPod Touch - there's more it can do with it's wiFi connection than a plain iPod. The on-screen keyboard is a bit challenging to get used to; I find a stylus is helpful for this. Overall - I like it. Connected to a iHome portable mini speaker the sound is VERY good - amazing, in fact.

Comments about Apple 32GB iPod touch (4th Generation):
So far, I have downloaded about 5 discs of Irish music, and play the iPod with earphones as I take a daily walk for exercise. I have also listened to the music as I catch a few rays by the pool.
For shame! An owner's manual should have come with it. I printed out the 141 page owner's manual from the Apple website.

Comments about Apple 32GB iPod touch (4th Generation):
I work outside a lot and in places where there is poor or no radio reception. I usually work alone so I can listen to music or programs that I like. Ipod touch allows me to download a huge variety of programs, podcasts and music. I previously owned a 8gb model and sent it to a relative when I got the new one. I bought the 32 gb model for the added storage and the cameras. I don't often get to a wifi spot but when I do I can use the full range of tools this has to offer and now I can text or facetime when I am connected. I am not a big data user so this is perfect for me since I can use free wifi. It is one of the most useful devices I own. My old one was still in good shape after 2 yrs. of moderate - heavy use and still going strong so I expect this one to last as long or longer. Trouble free and easy to use too!!
