When Apple launched the iPod video in 2005, people started to ask how will look the new version of iPod. What seemed obvious is that the media player needed to have a bigger screen. The 2.5-inch LCD was enough back then for browsing through songs and lists of artists, but was too small for watching videos, especially in widescreen format.
The core iPod design is great and perfect adapted to its dimension because making it bigger wouldn't be the best option. Apple fans almost betted on the fact that the next iPod will have the main face an only-screen one. It will have like a virtual Click Wheel and the widescreen videos will be played on a horizontal display.
The classical iPod have been transformed into iPod Touch. A display screen covers most of the front part of the iPod Touch making it to look like an iPhone (but without the phone capacity). The iPod touch doesn't have the virtual Click Wheel. Instead, it is used the same interface called multi touch owned by the iPhone. You use your fingers and the touch-sensitive screen to navigate through music, videos and other files.
The iPod touch is the first iPod with wireless capability but without the possibility to use it to sync with a computer or iPods. You can use it to browse the Web, watch Youtube videos or download music from iTunes Music Store.
Due to its widescreen display and WiFi capability, the iPod touch marks a big milestone in the development of the classic iPod.
iPod Touch Features
It's easy to think of the iPod touch as a stripped-down version of the iPhone instead of a souped-up iPod. The iPod touch is a little smaller and weighs a little less than the iPhone. But the iPod touch has a battery that lasts a little longer than the one on the iPhone. The iPhone has about 24 hours of audio or seven hours of video playback time, and the iPod touch can play 36 hours of audio or six hours of video on a full charge.
The iPod touch's home screen also looks like the iPhone's, but with fewer icons. From the home screen, you can get to the iPhone's e-mail client, text-messaging capabilities, digital camera and collection of mini-applications called widgets. And, of course, you can also use the iPhone as a cellular phone. The iPod touch doesn't share any of these features, but the two devices do have a few things in common, including:
*Flash memory (8 or 16 GB for the iPhone, 8, 16 or 32 GB for the iPod touch)
*WiFi capabilities (802.11b/g)
*Safari Web browser
*Audio, video and photo storage and playback
*YouTube video player
*Calendar and contacts that synch with your computer
*Clock and calculator applications
*Access to the iTunes Music Store via WiFi
*Dock and headphone connections
The iPod touch also costs roughly the same amount as an iPhone or an iPod classic, but each of these devices has significantly different features and capabilities. Here's a run-down of the costs:
*iPod touch: $229 for 8 GB, $299 for 16 GB, $399 for 32 GB
*iPhone: $199 for 8 GB or $299 for 16 GB, plus the cost of a cell-phone service plan
*iPod classic: $249 for 120 GB
*iPod nano: $149 for 8GB, $199 for 16 GB
*iPod Shuffle: $49 for 1 GB, $69 for 2 GB [source: Apple]
In terms of storage space, the iPod touch is comparable to the iPhone and the iPod nano, although it also comes in a 16 GB model. It costs about the same as the iPhone, but it's significantly more expensive than the nano, which costs less than $200. The iPod touch also has far less storage space than the iPod classic, but their prices are roughly the same.

When you buy an iPod touch, you won't necessarily get more room for music and videos than you will with other iPod models. You're essentially paying extra money for WiFi capabilities, a widescreen display and a touch-sensitive user interface.
