If you've been lusting after the touch-based iPod inside Apple's iPhone or iPhone 3G, but don't want your phone and iPod to be one device, the iPod touch is for you. The touch is basically an iPhone without the phone, a touchscreen iPod with Multi-Touch, Cover Flow, Wi-Fi and even the Safari web browser, email and weather.
The iPod touch is quite thin, thinner even than the iPhone itself at only 0.3-inches think. It features the same 3.5" touchscreen display, great for watching movies, TV shows and online video (yeah, there's YouTube, too). The touch also includes the iTunes Wi-Fi Music store, a way to download music even when you're away from your computer; when you sync the iPod touch with your PC or Mac, the purchased music syncs back to iTunes, too. The iTunes Wi-Fi Store offers the same price as music selection as the full version (no Wi-Fi videos yet).
Available in three capacities, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB, the iPod touch is now shipping. Use the CHECK PRICES drop-down menu below to find a retailer. Also, take a look at our iPod touch Review. Beginning July 11, 2008, you can upgrade the iPod touch to v2.0 for compatibility with the Apple App Store.
