Features

The iPod Touch itself is a subtle but gorgeous design. 4.3 X 2.4 inches, and only a third of an inch thick. The external controls are only the necessary ones; volume control and the sleep/wake button. Everything else is controlled with the innovative touch screen. There are so many options and functions, but the intuitive interface lends itself to effortless control.

Listening to your music collection is only one of many media elements that the iPod touch excels at. You can view movies (in widescreen display), browse the internet with Wi-Fi (email, documents, maps, YouTube), and even play games. In fact, the novelty of touch is combined with the direction sensing accelerometer, the iPod Touch has a unique potential for original games and other inventive uses. But more than simply being an entertaining novelty, the iPod Touch lends itself to some amazingly useful tools and programs.

The countless downloadable applications available through the Apple App Store set the iPod Touch apart from the crowd. There is a multitude of apps available in a variety of categories, including games, social networking, news, weather, travel, business, books, and many more. These apps are usually only a dollar or two, and often even free.
