Touch Comes To iPod

Touch Comes To iPod

Features :

Multi-touch

iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone. Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the multi-touch interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page. And iPod touch features a touchscreen QWERTY keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, or adding new contacts.

Ambient Light Sensor

The iPod touch display has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness to suit the ambient light in your surroundings. The result? A better experience for you and battery-saving efficiency for iPod touch.

Accelerometer

An accelerometer detects when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page, your music in Cover Flow, or a photo in its proper aspect ratio.

Connected With iTunes

iTunes is an entertainment superstore that’s open all the time. A jukebox that lets you organize all your digital media. A way to get music and more from your computer to your iPod. In other words, it’s your iPod’s best friend. After you, of course.

Music

Forget the drive to the superstore. No more waiting for CDs to arrive in the mail. Browse more than 6 million songs on the iTunes Store. Listen to a free 30-second preview. Click once to buy any song for 99¢ and it starts downloading instantly. It’s the fastest, easiest way to build a digital music collection.

TV Shows

Never miss another episode of your favorite show. Buy one episode at a time or a whole season from the iTunes Store and you can watch on your computer, on your iPod, or on your widescreen TV using Apple TV. For as little as $1.99, you can buy episodes of more than 600 TV shows and watch them whenever you want to. Any time is prime time with iTunes.

Audiobooks

Browse the virtual shelves of the iTunes Store for thousands of audiobooks. From best-selling novels to language lessons, audiobooks start as low as 95¢ and sync to any iPod. So you can catch up on your reading wherever you roam.

Podcasts

Visit the iTunes Store to subscribe to thousands of audio and video podcasts — free. Click Subscribe and the most recent episode appears in your iTunes library, ready to play or sync. Future episodes download automatically. You can even watch video podcasts on TV via Apple TV.

iPod Games

Play classics such as Ms. PAC-MAN and Tetris on your iPod classic or iPod nano. Buy iPod games for $4.99 on the iTunes Store, then sync them to your iPod and play. Every game is designed to work perfectly with the iPod Click Wheel (and to provide hours of fun).

Movies

Go to the movies without going anywhere. The iTunes Store features more than 500 movies from major and independent studios. With new releases starting at $12.99 and library titles starting at $9.99, iTunes has what you want to watch, when you want to watch it. View a trailer before you buy. Then watch on your computer, on your widescreen TV with Apple TV, or on your iPod.

iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store

Shop millions of songs on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store from your iPod touch. Just find a Wi-Fi hot spot, tap the iTunes button, and browse New Releases, Top Tens, and Featured Music — or search for anything. Listen to a 30-second preview, then buy with a tap.

iTunes Jukebox

Everything you buy on the iTunes Store — and any music from CDs you import to iTunes — appears in your library on the iTunes jukebox. From there you can organize it, put it into playlists, rate it, flip through your album art with Cover Flow, and more. It’s the best way to manage all your digital media, and it’s free.

iTunes Syncing

The moment you connect your iPod to a Mac or PC, iTunes syncs music and video automatically. You can also sync iTunes Store purchases back to your computer. iTunes even tells you when it’s time to update your iPod software and lets you do so with a single click.
