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 4 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, part of 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 4
The iOS 4 software provides a wealth of advanced features, including multitasking, app folders, FaceTime, Game Center, Security, and Accessibility functions for those with disabilities
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
Spotlight Search
The built-in Spotlight search function lets you browse your entire iPod for emails, songs, artists, and more
Shake to Shuffle
The fun Shake to Shuffle feature takes advantage of the touch's accelerometer to let you shuffle music playback just by shaking the iPod
Nike+iPod
The built-in Nike+iPod sensor let you track workout time, distance, and calories burned with syncing available at nikeplus.com
Photos
You can sync photos between your computer and iPod, or download photos via email. By connecting to WiFi, you can use the iPod touch to share photos in an email or upload them to a MobileMe gallery
Mail
The iPod touch can handle your email with the ability to view HTML, PDF, Word or Excel files

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.

          The iPod Touch is everything I expected, plus much more. It is the best value in a product that I have purchased in recent years. It is easy to operate, and has features far beyond what I expected.

            Just recieved my first IPod. Within the first five minutes I had already scratched the back. I know it is only cosmetic but very disapointing.
            Other than that, it is easy to use and learn the to navigate. Has more things to play with than I'll ever use. Sounds good with Apple headphones but much better with upgraded earbuds.
            Would recommend it to anyone who is not able to use the IPhone.

              Very sleek.
              Can be used anywhere, but suggest you get a cover/holder to suit the particular situation.

              Those with thick fingers may find typing accurately a tad difficult (no different to any other similarly sized touchscreen).

                              This was a replacement for a 2nd generation iTouch. The added storage and faster processing time alone makes this a nice upgrade. There are plenty of critics over the quality of the camera, I don't see that as a neg since I don't use these devices (or any other camera enabled phone) for taking photos anyway. So if you're looking for an upgrade from a previous gen iTouch, this will be good move.

                                    The Ipod Touch cannot be beat. With the added camera on the 4th gen model, you can video chat to another on the Touch. Plus, the 32gb means you never run out of room for music and videos. I use mine as a PDA. Links to my work email and I can surf where I have a WIFI connection.

                                    Very nice.

                                      We use the ipod as our home music entertainment center. We bought the Bose Sound system to mount it on and absolutely love it. The sound clarity is unbeatable!

                                      Comments about Apple 32GB iPod touch (Current Model):

                                      When turning it on it starts off slowly (reason I am only giving 4 starts out of five). Also, the battery drains very quickly. other than that the graphics are amazing. Runs very smoothly and aps download very quickly.
