Apple Unveils New ‘iPod Touch’

Has a sleek new appearance like the iPhone and is w-fi capable to boot.

Today at San Francisco’s Moscone center Steve Jobs made several new Apple announcements that as usual were met with excitement and jubilation from a packed crowd of Apple fanboys.

But, I must admit even I was truly amazed at what was unveiled today, the new “iPod touch” being the most spectacular.

Here’s the rundown:

iPod touch
Multi-touch

• iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone. Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the multi-touch 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, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page. And iPod touch features a touchscreen QWERTY keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, entering calendar events, or adding new contacts..
