The New Ipod Touch Is Amazing
The iPod touch is not just an amazing iPod, it is the iPhone without the phone calling function. iPod touch is the only iPod with wireless access to the web and is the first iPod with Mail. iPod Touch is a portable media player designed and marketed by Apple and was released on September 5, 2007 as part of an event dubbed "The Beat Goes On", which featured the introduction of Coverflow to the iPod line and The Beatles to the iTunes Store.
Mail on iPod touch is a rich HTML email client that fetches email in the background from most POP3 or IMAP mail services and displays photos and graphics along with the text of the email. The software upgrade for iPod touch is available immediately. But despite its functional and physical outward resemblance to the iPhone, and the fact that its internals borrow heavily from the iPhone, the iPod touch is no iPhone clone, and has its own unique design. Plain and simple, the iPod Touch is the single best portable media player ever designed -- excepting the one minor (actually, make that MAJOR) flaw one shared by all the devices in a Flash Media Player roundup: the ridiculously low amount of storage space. Offered in 8GB and 16GB capacities, the iPod Touch is a premium-priced device with an attractive set of features for a midsize portable video player (PVP).
 The Safari Web browser found on the iPod Touch is more or less the same great browser found on the iPhone, minus a few features. Despite these few limitations, using Safari on a small mobile device like the iPod Touch is still fun and useful. With great new applications, now iPod touch is even better. And
to top it all off, the iPod touch is an unbelievable eight millimeters thin.
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as the iPhone, the most advanced software ever engineered, and state-of-the-art technology. iPod touch finds wireless networks and connects you to the Internet. Like earlier iPods, the Touch is elegant and capable, and works smoothly with Apple's free iTunes software for Windows and Macintosh PCs, as well as with its computer-based online iTunes Store, which sells far more downloaded songs and TV shows than any other legal outlet.
It's also the first iPod that lacks any physical buttons for controlling music playback. Apple says the Touch was meant mainly to present typical iPod features, not to replicate the iPhone, and it included the Web browser only so users could get onto Wi-Fi to use the mobile music store in certain places that required a log-in screen. For iPod touch with Maps, the Maps application provides your approximate location using information based on your proximity to known Wi-Fi networks (when on and available).
The iPod touch software upgrade also includes new features such as Web Clips, a customizable home screen and the ability to watch iTunes® Movie Rentals. New iPod touch products shipping from the factory will include the software upgrade and existing iPod touch customers can get the software upgrade for $19. The iPod touch home screen can now be customized, allowing users to reorder and add new icons, with support for up to nine different home screens which they can easily flick between. The first thing to do after buying the Ipod touch is to charge it, and connect it to itunes and you can begin playing with your newest toy.
