Apple iPod Touch (8GB)

FaceTime on iPod touch lets you hang out and catch up with friends in an entirely new way. With just a tap, you can see what your friends are up to — literally. Witness a prank in action. Or watch your friend on the other side of town crack up at your stories from last night — new iPod touch to new iPod touch or iPhone 4 over Wi-Fi. And all you need to get started is an Apple ID and an email account. You can choose an email account you already have or, if you prefer, set up a new one. You’ll never see fun the same way again.

Two cameras, two views. You can never have, or see, too much fun. That’s why iPod touch has two cameras: one on the front, which focuses on you. And one on the back, which focuses on what’s in front of you. FaceTime lets you switch between them at any time during a video call. Just tap a button. So if you’re people-watching at a coffee shop and you spot someone entertaining (or famous), your friend gets to see them too.

The Retina display on iPod touch brings out the best in anything on it. That’s because it’s the highest-resolution iPod screen ever, with four times the pixel count of previous iPod models. In fact, there are so many pixels, the human eye can’t distinguish individual ones. Which makes graphics and images stunningly sharp, and text amazingly crisp. Just like the printed page.

“You should have seen it!” is a thing of the past. Because with iPod touch, you’ll always have a great HD video camera with you. Say you’re at a party and you see someone street-dancing. You’re ready to capture the moment in all its glory. In high-definition 720p video. You can record video in low-light settings, thanks to the advanced backside illumination sensor. You can even edit and create your own mini-blockbuster on iPod touch using the new iMovie app — with Apple-designed themes, titles and transitions.

It’s time to make a game plan. The new Game Center app on iPod touch lets you add more players to your gaming network. Invite friends to join. Then totally dominate them. Take a look at how your score ranks against your friends and other players of each game. Compare game achievements with your friends. Put together a select group of friends to play with. Or choose to automatically go up against people you don’t know in a multiplayer game. So get in the game. And get your friends in it too.

With iPod touch, you don't just play your music. You hear it, and see it, in entirely different ways. Let Genius search your library and automatically create a mix just for you. Or give Genius playlist a go, and Genius will use a song you really love to find other tracks from your library that go great with it. You can also view album art in Cover Flow. Or shake to shuffle for a fresh take on your music library.

Your favourite films and TV programmes are now playing on a train or plane near you. Because you can buy or rent films and buy TV programmes right on iPod touch. Shop at the iTunes Store and choose from thousands of must-see titles to fill your iPod touch. Then watch them on the amazing 3.5-inch colour widescreen Retina display.
