So, you don’t exactly want an iPhone because you think its rather dumb and because you probably have a better phone(thats what you think). A classic iPod is out of question too, because the screen isn’t all that great in size in any case; or you’re probably looking at an upgrade from the older iPod but more battery life and storage are just not reason enough for you to buy it.
Enter the iPod Touch, fitting smack bang between the iPod Classic and the iPhone. Apple have stripped the iPhone of the phone and the camera to leave you with a really sweet music and video player with Wi-Fi ability. Lets take a better peek into the Microsoft Zune bashing, iPod Touch.

Physically, the Touch is 2/3rd’s the iPhone in size and only 8mm thick which makes for a snug fit in the palm. To put things a bit more into perspective, the Touch is almost the same size as the Zune and the iPod Classic, only slimmer. It tilts the scales at 120 grams.
The Touch has all of 2 buttons. A home button, and a sleep/wake button. Thats pretty much it. For a music player, I think thats pretty silly. How in the world are you going to change tracks/volume on a crowded mass transport without taking it out of the pocket?
One of the smarter features of the Touch is well.. multi-touch!!With multi-touch you can flick, pinch AND tap. To zoom out of a photo, pinch, to zoom in, just reverse the pinching action. It senses touches by means of an electrical field and allows very natural gestures.
