iPod Touch

Apple's iPod Touch, often known as the itouch, was launched in September 2007 and rapidly established itself as a firm favourite with iPod fans. It combined the usual iPod mp3 music and video player with wi-fi and touch screen technology making it much more like the iPhone rather than the other iPod family members.

The second generation iPod Touch, featuring external volume controls, a built-in speaker, a contoured back plus built-in "Nike " support, was released by Apple on September 9, 2008. First generation users were catered for with software upgrades they could buy quite cheaply.

The updates allowed first generation iPod Touch devices to access the App Store, download third-party applications, together with a host of minor adjustments which fixed small "glitches".

In addition to the announced features and very much unsupported by Apple, the iPod Touch has Bluetooth capability. This is due to the included wi-fi chip having Bluetooth and FM Radio support, as well as it's usual wi-fi capability.
