This is simply the best-looking iPod, indeed the best-looking MP3 player we've ever laid eyes on. The Touch 4G is even thinner than its predecessors – any bulges have been eradicated to leave a sheer, smooth device.The new Retina Display that it shares with the iPhone 4 is just as stunning with its crisp, clear 960×640 display – perfect for album artwork or the new Games Centre capabilities.Indee...
The camera on the new iPod touch is still a touch disappointing. Stills top out at a maximum of 960×720, so you won't be replacing your cam with these just yet. And the fixed focus doesn’t help matters.The maximum capacity is a mere 64GB, so this is not for audiophiles. And the lack of FLAC support may put them off too. But then, this isn't a device designed for the audiophile market.

Apple has finally seen fit to include a camera in the latest iPod touch hardware. While the iPhone has continually received updates to its own camera, culminating in the 5 megapixel backside-illuminated autofocus LED flash wonder in the iPhone 4, the...

Apple definitely needs to take the iPod touch camera to the gym three times a week for the next year in order to bulk up for a rematch. At the very least, the iPod touch needs to be prepared to take on new challengers ready to step into the square circle...

There’s a joke widely told among tech nerds ending with a punch line that goes something like, “I loved my first gen iPod Touch when it could make calls and was called an iPhone.”The iPod Touch may constitute 40 percent of iOS sales, but the general co...

Feels impossibly thin—we literally lost the Touch in our own pockets. Looks so sharp you could nearly shave with it. Runner? You're in luck. Touch supports Nike plus. 802.11b/g/n WiFi support. The display is beautiful, brilliant and mesmerizing. All glory...

Apple's fourth-generation iPod touch finally gets a camera for HD video recording, and still-photo capture. Plus a second, front-facing camera brings FaceTime video chat to the touch. On the new high-res Retina display, everything looks crisp and colo...

Still a top-notch music player. Retina display makes text and images look incredibly sharp. Shoots HD video, takes photos. Front-facing camera for FaceTime video chat. Slimmer, narrower design. GameCenter allows social gaming with other iOS devices.
Quite expensive. Limited storage. Lousy earbuds.

At Apple's last event, Steve Jobs called the iPod touch the company's "most popular iPod," and it's easy to understand why. In just a few short years, the iPhone-with-no-phone has kept in lockstep with Cupertino's halo device, benefitting from the same ki...
