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.
