Apple 8GB iPod touch (White) (4th Generation)
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 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 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 5, 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 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

What else is there to say? Of course the quality of the iPod is great, I just filled it up relatively quickly, so if you have a lot of music, I would suggest buying the 32GB or 64GB.

Pricey given that [$] buys a quad-core/6GB RAM laptop these days. Obviously very elegant and refined design. Safari browser on my ipod appears buggy and crashes when I try to open websites with maps embedded, so it isn't exactly perfectly sorted.

Comments about Apple 8GB iPod touch (White) (4th Generation):
I need to buy a 2nd one to keep them both happy. I no longer to use my iPad, so I think I will be ordering of these real soon. If you have younger kids, think about an iPad. My older son has the 32 GB one for his games and music and it is attached permenently to to his head. I think I will need to see a doctor when it is time to upgrade. :-)
