Apple Unvails The New iPod Touch

Apple today introduced the iPod touch. The iPod touch is really an iPhone stripped of its GSM and phone capabilities.

The device features the same 3.5-inch screen as the iPhone with an 8mm thickness. Two hard drive sizes are available – 8GB and 16GB. Apple also employs the same multi-touch user interface as the iPhone in the new iPod touch.

The iPod touch retains the 802.11b/g Wi-Fi capabilities of the iPhone. Users can connect the iPod touch to home and public wireless networks. The iPod touch also features a couple of built in applications, as with the iPhone.

Safari and YouTube applications are preinstalled for wireless web browsing and video watching. Apple also installs the calendar, contacts, clock, calculator and photo applications. Essentially, the iPod touch is what the iPhone is without a SIM card inserted. With a Street Price starting at $299 for the 8 GB and 399 for the 16GB it’s not a bad deal. Expect the new iPods to show up in retail stores this week.
