Apple Unveils iPod touch
Apple introduced the new iPod touch (iPod Touch Photo) featuring Apple’s multi-touch user interface that enables users to find and enjoy all of their music, videos and more on its widescreen display with just the touch of a finger.
First introduced on iPhone, the multi-touch interface uses pioneering new software to present the perfect user interface for each application.
The iPod touch also includes Wi-Fi wireless networking, the first on any iPod, and three applications that use it:
Safari which lets users wirelessly view web pages just as they look on their computer, and features Google Search or Yahoo! oneSearch.
Apple’s YouTube application lets users wirelessly watch over 10 million free videos from the Internet’s most popular video website;
The iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store lets users wirelessly browse, preview and buy songs and albums from the most popular online music store in the world.
The iPod touch is a 8 mm thin, and is priced starting at just $299.
“The iPod touch is a landmark iPod, ushering in a whole new generation of features based on its revolutionary multi-touch interface and built-in Wi-Fi wireless networking,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.
“People are going to be amazed at how thin it is and how much it does.”
The new iPod touch is scheduled to be available later this month. The 8GB iPod touch model is $299 (US) and the 16GB iPod model is $399 (US).
