Manufacturer's Description
The New iPod Touch
With a stunningly thin, contoured stainless steel design, iPod touch feels even better in your hand. And the new volume buttons and built-in speaker give you more to love. Groundbreaking technologies built into iPod touch such as the Touch display, accelerometer, and 3D graphics immerse you in the action. The new Genius feature turns iPod touch into a highly intelligent, personal DJ. With a few taps, it creates a playlist by finding songs in your library that go great together.
 |
More ways to play. iPod touch games and applications are nothing short of amazing. And the App Store is where you’ll find them all. The world’s best developers are taking advantage of groundbreaking technology, including Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, real-time 3D graphics, and 3D positional sound, to create games and applications made especially for iPod touch. So whether you’re a gamer or into something else — chatting, social networking, news, sports, finance — there’s bound to be something just for you. |
 |
Volume controls. Volume buttons are built into the left side of iPod touch, giving you easy access to the most frequently used controls. |
 |
Built-in speaker. A built-in speaker lets you hear the music, dialogue, and action without headphones, perfect for casual listening. |
 |
Longer battery life. Now you can keep on rocking (and watching and playing) even longer. Improved battery life means iPod touch provides up to 36 hours of audio playback or 6 hours of video playback — enough to watch three or four movies between charges. |
 |
Music 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 the lyrics while you’re listening. 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 the 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. |

Movies + TV Shows Everything’s a must-see. Carry hours of video with you and watch it on a crisp, clear 3.5-inch colour widescreen display. Download and watch TV shows from the iTunes store. 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 TV shows you want to sync to your iPod touch. |

Internet iPod touch is the only iPod with 802.11b/g wireless access to the web. Whenever you’re connected via Wi-Fi, you can access you’re favourite websites to read news, check scores, pay bills, and go shopping. Pod touch syncs your bookmarks from your PC or Mac, so you can access favourite sites quickly. It has Google and Yahoo! search built in, so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for on the web. Get a closer look at any web page by zooming in and out with a tap or a pinch of the Multi-Touch display. View websites in portrait or landscape. Rotate iPod touch 90 degrees and the website rotates, too. If you check a website frequently — a favourite newspaper, blog, or sports site — why not create a Home screen icon for it? Make Web Clips with Safari, and your favourite sites are always just a tap away. |
 |
High technology Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the Multi-Touch touch screen 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. The Multi-Touch display layers a protective shield over a capacitive panel that senses your touch using electrical fields. It then transmits that information to the LCD screen below it. iPod touch software enables the flick, tap, and pinch. iPod touch features an intelligent touch screen 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 analyses 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. |

Rock ’n’ run with Nike+. iPod touch now includes built-in Nike + iPod support. Just slip the Nike + iPod Sensor (available 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. |
Product Description
Apple's new iPod touch packs more features into a sleeker design and feels even better in your hand! The iPod touch has a revolutionary touch interface and has been designed to let you control everything using your fingertips. The iPod touch responds to motion using a built-in accelerometer, so you can immediately see the entire width of a web page, view a photo in full, or control a game using only your movements.
You can browse over and download loads of games and applications in almost every category at the Apple Store on iTunes or right on your iPod, and rock while you run with the built-in Nike + iPod support. The iPod touch no longer plays just music; it also keeps a record of your workout performances, tracking your time, distance and calories burnt thanks to the sensor that you slip into your shoe.
The new iPod touch?s body is stunningly thin and made of polished stainless steel for a more comfortable grip, and volume controls have been built into the left side to give you easy access to the most frequently used settings. Plus, the iPod touch is equipped with a built-in speaker that lets you hear music, dialogues and action without headphones, ideal for casual listening, and an astonishing battery life for up to 36 hours of non-stop music and 6 hours of video playback.
A new Genius feature has also been integrated into the iPod touch, allowing you to create your very own multimedia library and music mixes. Music and videos on the iPod touch not only sound amazing; they look amazing, too.
The important bits
CHOOSING THE WINNER (Back to Top)
We were hoping to come up with a system to pick a winner by reference to numbers from the UK National Lottery but that proved impossible given the likely number of entrants.
Fortunately, Jon Simmonds of the eXceem forums has kindly stepped in to act as independent adjudicator and pick a winner totally at random. Some of you may already know Jon; he co-founded eXceem in 2005 and now admins a thriving community of over 10,000 members, with nearly 370,000 posts between them.
