But, what is it?
Well, it's an iPod. And it's a pocket computer. And it's a game player. And it's a video screen. And it's a web browser. And it's a personal DJ. It's the iPod touch. With its 8GB flash drive, this iPod touch has plenty of room for up to 7,000 songs, 10,000 photos, or 10 hours of video. A built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth let you access the internet and listen using wireless headphones. Access to the Apple App store opens up a world of innovative applications and games. The 3.5" screen is great for watching TV and video, and its touchscreen capability serves up simple, engaging navigation. Additionally, Genius technology recommends new music and artists based on your current collection. And, as with any iPod, this is but the beginning.
One word: Apps
They're all the rave: Apps. Short for "applications". But, what are they? Better yet, what aren't they. The iPod touch's open-source design has made it possible for thousands of software developers to create applications specifically designed for the Apple iPod touch. Shop at Apple's App Store, and you have access to over 75,000 innovative applications for your iPod touch. The variety of Apps is truly astounding: everything from games like Top Gun and Gitar Rock Tour 1, to Music & Entertainment apps like Pandora, Camera Bag, Drum Kit, Yelp, and Lonely Planet, to social networking apps like Facebook, Twittelator Pro, and MySpace Mobile. And, really, we're just scratching the surface here . . . remember: there are over 75,000 Apps! And to help you discover your next favorite App, the iPod touch now features Genuis recommendations. Tap the Genius icon, and the iPod touch instantly offers suggestions based on your current selection of Apps.
Multi-Touch
Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5" display, the Multi-Touch touchscreen interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, zoom in and out on a section of a web page, and control game elements precisely. iPod touch features an intelligent touchscreen keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, getting directions on a map, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, or adding new contacts. It analyzes keystrokes to suggest words as you type and correct spelling errors automatically. And because it's software based, it changes its keys to support typing in multiple languages.
Accelerometer
iPod touch detects when you rotate it from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display. So you immediately see the entire width of a web page, view a photo in its proper aspect ratio, or control a game using only your movements. Accelerometer technology really shines when you play games because it immerses you in the action. It's perfect for racing games, where your entire iPod touch acts as a steering wheel, and for tap-and-tilt games such as Super Monkey Ball, in which your character responds to your every movement.
Surf's up
iPod touch locates nearby wireless hotspots, including protected networks. If you've never used a particular network, it asks you to enter a password the first time, and it remembers the password from then on. So the next time you're within range, it connects automatically. Now you can send email from a coffee shop. Surf the web at the airport. Shop for games from your couch. Browse, buy, and download music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store at select Starbucks locations or other hotspots in your area.
Music with Genius
Remember what it felt like to flip through your CD or record collection? Cover Flow brings that feeling back. Just turn iPod touch on its side and flick through your music to find the album you want to hear. Tap the cover to flip it over and display a track list. Tap again to start the music. Even view lyrics while you're listening. iPod touch is also a musical Genius. Say you're listening to a song you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. The new Genius feature finds songs in your library that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. You can listen to the playlist right away, save it for later, or even refresh it and give it another go. Count on Genius to create a mix you wouldn't have thought of yourself. Fill up your iPod touch with audio and video from your iTunes library. All you have to do is choose the playlists, videos, and other content you want to sync and let iTunes do the rest.
Movies + TV shows
Carry hours of video with you and watch it on a crisp, clear 3.5" color widescreen display. Need ideas? From Hollywood blockbusters to independent favorites, there's something for everyone at the iTunes store. Download and watch movies with a few clicks. Prefer TV shows? Buy a single episode or an entire season's worth all at once. While watching your video, tap the display to bring up the onscreen controls. You can play/pause, view by chapter, and adjust the volume. You can also use the new volume controls on the left side of iPod touch. Want to switch between widescreen and full screen? Simply tap the display twice. Need some entertainment for your next flight or road trip? With iTunes on your Mac or PC, you can sit at your computer and choose the movies and TV shows you want to sync to your iPod touch.
Home screen
You can arrange the icons on your Home screen any way you want. Even move them to another Home screen. Create up to nine Home screens for quick access to the games and applications you download from the App Store and to your Safari Web Clips. No matter where you are on iPod touch, you can press the Home button to return to the Home screen. You can go back to what you were doing at any time. Whenever you download an application from the App Store, a new icon appears on your Home screen. And if you check the same websites every day, just create Web Clips and you can access the sites directly from your Home screen with a single tap. Not happy with how they're organized? Reorder them any way you want by dragging them around the screen.
Photos
Show thousands of photos from the palm of your hand. Flick to scroll through thumbnails. Tap to view full screen. Rotate to see a photo in landscape. Pinch to zoom in or out. Play slideshows, complete with music and transitions. Email a photo to a friend, set it as your wallpaper, or share it in a MobileMe Gallery. If you receive a great image in an email, save it to your photo library on iPod touch. Once there, it acts just like any other photo. You can set it as your wallpaper, share it on the web, or pass it on. iPod touch uses iTunes to sync photos you have in iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Photoshop Album on a PC. Just choose which photos or albums to sync to your iPod touch, then you can look at them and share them anywhere you go.
Tune your run
iPod touch now includes built-in Nike + iPod support. Just slip the Nike + iPod Sensor (sold separately) into your Nike + shoe and start your run. The sensor communicates wirelessly with your iPod touch, tracking your time, distance, and calories burned. It even gives you voice feedback on your progress. This feature also works with new cardio equipment available in many fitness centers. Just look for Nike + iPod compatible treadmills, elliptical machines, stair steppers, and stationary bikes. When you get back to your computer, sync your iPod touch via iTunes and transfer your exercise data to nikeplus.com, where you can track your workouts, set goals, and challenge friends.

I have had my ipod touch for three years now. I take it everywhere with me. It gets used more often than my cell phone. Basically a small computer. I had to buy my wife one after i bought mine so I could actually have mine back. I work on a farm and ranch and after three years and four cell phones it still preforms like brand new, I would like to see any other mobil device do that.

I have been shopping for an iPod Touch for several months for my kids. I have purchased multiple flat screen televisions from Vanns and was happy to discover that they also sold the iPod Touch. I ordered 2. My kids love them! The iPod Touch has exceeded my expectations and I am now thinking of purchasing one myself. If I do purchase an iPod, it will be from Vanns.
