iPod Touch (Touch Screen iPod) Announced

MP3 Rumors — 05 September 2007

Announced today is the iPod Touch. Some things you should know.

- It will come in two sizes: 8GB and 16GB – $299, and $399 respectively.
- It will have a WiFi
- You’ll be able to download songs via the iTunes WiFi Music Store and it will sync with your iTunes (available in 22 countries where iTunes currently is)
- Starbucks did a deal. When you are there, have your iPod touch and hear some music playing your iPod Touch will display it and you can buy it (genius)
- It will have Safari browser and the YouTube integration
- 22 hours of audio, 5 hours of 5 video playback (battery life)
- 8mm thinner then the iPhone
- Release data should be sometime soon (think Q4 Holiday Season – Late October)

Available here for preorder.

Update: The store is back up and the iPod Touch will ship 9/28/07

Update 2: I’d also like to point out that Apple has fixed that stupidly annoying recessed headphone jack originally found on Rev 1 iPhone. If you recall, you need a special attachment to use some aftermarket headphones. Just another reason to hold off until Rev 2 of the iPhone – plus the 3g speediness and hopefully GPS. They’ve also moved the headphone jack to the bottom of the unit. Check out the pics below.

Holy Crap. That is awesome.

I’m a huge apple fan, but i’m truthfully a little dissapointed. No stylus? so i have no choice but to get fingerprints all over it no matter what. Ok, i can overlook that for it’s sheer coolness and it does come with a cleaning cloth.

What i can’t overlook is the small Harddrive capacity. If i want to carry all my music in one thing i have no choice but to go with an old ipod or some other music player. 16gb, is close to enough, but for 100 dollars more i don’t know if it’s justified. And it apparently doesn’t come with a AC adapter.

And they may announce this later but i doubt it, but so far there is no option to share music between ipods. What’s the point of putting wi-fi on it if you can’t?

Mind you i still might get one. But i’m surprised apple didn’t include this stuff.

If you can fit all your music onto a 16 gig drive, you need to listen to more music.
PJ

Yeah I’d have to wait for the 1TB iPod to get all of my music on, maybe next year?! :)

The size of the ahrd drive is way too small when for only $100 more you can get a phone too
Nate Weber

Its a flash drive, that how they kept it so small, i think by this time next year they will make a HD version, hopefully identical to the new ipod classic (80GB and 160GB)

its basically an iphone with no phone, ie, has safari, and youtube.

I would get one if it could replace my current 80GB video, but since it cant, i cant justify dropping 300 even on something that wont replace entirely what I have, ill end up using both, which would just suck, plus i got a 1st Gen. for jogging and mowing lawns and stuff that its just not logical to carry the bricks.

Cool product, with time they will realize that people will take the added weight and size for the HD just to get the memory space they need.
