The iPod Touch being the most expensive as well as most sophisticated iPod of them all, we’re not surprised to see Steve Jobs have this device updated at all. The New iPod Touch, now in fourth generation since the announcement yesterday, will feature both front and rear camera. The front camera will be used for video calls and it will allow you to enjoy FaceTime video conversation with your friends just like the iPhone 4. On the other hand, rear camera will be capable of recording 720p HD video. The new iPod Touch is very similar to the iPhone 4 and it will feature also 3.5-inch 960×640 Retina Display. Connectivity has always been an important factor for Apple’s devices and therefore the latest iPod Touch will feature bluetooth 2.1+EDR and WiFi 802.11b/g/n connectivity.
In addition, this device features 3-axis gyro, accelerometer and ambient light sensor. Of course, you’ll won’t run out of battery power since this device is equipped with lithium-ion battery that will provide you with up to 40 hours music playback and 7 hours of video playback.
The new iPod Touch is only 7.2mm thick and it comes with iOS 4.1 and GameCenter, Apple’s way of convincing you that the iPod Touch can be a handheld gaming device just like the PSP. There will be several models of the iPod Touch 4G on the market which will boast 8GB, 32GB and 64GB storage capacities. Pricing will be $229, $299, and $399 respectively if you’re in the US and £189, £249 and £329 respectively if you’re in the UK.
