Apple's popular 8GB 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 8GB 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

I was basically looking for mobile entertainment device, that can surf the web, easy access to my emails, listen to music, play games. I found the ipod touch suitable fit. Though most of the smartphones have this capability nowadays, i was not willing to cash out $30 extra per month for data plan. so i decided to buy this device. Some of the outstanding things are
- screen is awesome, clear, high resolution
- user interface very friendly and intuitive
- most of the apps allows quick and better way of doing things compare to opening in website separately
- tons of cheap games. I installed real soccer 2011 and NBA 2011 for $0.99 each.
- initially i was sceptic about typing in touchscreen but after typing few days, it was very easy and accurate.
Some of the things i didn't like which may be specific to my experience and not ipod touch in general.
- while browsing internet, websites were loading slowly. while watching music videos, they were buffering a lot. I have 5MBps internet broadband from cable one.
- I have heard of long battery life about this device, but for me it didn't last long. I know playing NBA/ soccer games on ipod touch might have accelerated the battery drainage, but still i had to recharge after playing 1-2 hrs.
- head phone that comes with this device could have been better
Overall great product for mobile entertainment. Definitely recommend for those without smartphones.

Camera fails to work; No warranty repair

The iPod Touch (4th generation) is an excellent product -- if everything works, that is. In my case, the camera fails to work out of the box, and Apple refuses to repair it under warranty, claiming the iPod has suffered liquid damages! On the bright side, everything else seems to work fine. Details:After receiving the item, I unpacked it and set it up with my computer, including an update to iOS 4.2. Then I tested various functions. All seemed to work well except for the camera app. Upon entering the app, an image of a camera shutter appeared, but the shutter would not open and nothing in the app responded. The only thing that could be done was returning to the home screen.Apple did have a very responsive technical support via telephone. After restoring the iPod Touch per the adviser's direction and failing to resolve the Camera problem, I sent it in via UPS for warranty service per an Apple adviser's direction.A few days later, the iPod was returned without having been repaired because Apple had determined the iPod had suffered liquid damages based on its Liquid Contact Indicator [@]. I could not believe it because it was a new iPod Touch and I know it had not been in contact with liquid! At least Apple didn't charge for the diagnostic and shipping.So now I am stuck with an iPod Touch with a defective camera. Buyer beware!Tip: If possible at all, go to an Apple Store for warranty service instead of mailing in. You might have better luck.

Comments about Apple 8GB iPod touch (Current Model):
I'm amazed at how much information can be kept in such a small product. I carry it in my pocket/purse all the time as I use it for my datebook, news, weather, and entertainment. And the price was possible with my budget. As far as I am concerned it's like having an extra brain that knows everything about me and yet is so much fun. Couldn't have found anything that makes me any happier.
