Apple iPod Touch

 

The iPod touch is a portable media player designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It is the top-of-the-line model in Apple's iPod family. The product was unveiled to the general public on September 5, 2007 as part of an event dubbed "The Beat Goes On",[1] featuring the introduction of Cover Flow and Multi-Touch to the iPod line. The iPod touch can be purchased with 8 or 16 GB of flash memory. It also has Wi-Fi and includes Safari, Apple's web browser. The iPod touch is the first generation of the iPod line to include wireless access to the iTunes Store.

 

 The iPod touch also has the capability to detect the current and last 10 songs playing in a Starbucks café within the vicinity of the iPod, and offers the user the opportunity to download the tracks in the iTunes music store. This feature will gradually be offered in a limited number of other markets. There are currently no plans to expand into stores other than those in the United States.

 

The iPod touch's multi-touch interface is exactly like that of the iPhone. Like the iPhone, the iPod touch includes a physical home button separate from the touch screen. The home screen includes a list of buttons corresponding to the available applications: Music, Videos, Photos, iTunes on the bottom button row. Safari, YouTube, Calendar, Contacts, Clock, Calculator, and Settings are at the top. The iPod touch comes preloaded with 28 wallpaper photos, some of which are figures from the iPod advertisements.
