Apple iPod Touch 8GB Black

Black and White and fun all over.
iPod touch takes fun to the next level. It now comes in two colors: black and white.
It includes iOS 5, which gives you over 200 exciting new features. And with iCloud,
whatever’s on your iPod touch is automatically on your other devices, too.

FaceTime - Your answer to “No way. Prove it.”
Some things are just better explained face-to-face. Even when you’re miles apart. On the front of iPod touch is a built-in camera perfect for making FaceTime video calls.1 Your smile, your laugh, your gasps, your “sad panda” face, even what’s in front of you. Your friend sees it all, live and in full effect.

HD video recording - Director’s chair not included.
iPod touch features a second camera on the back, which lets you shoot amazing 720p HD video. And with its advanced backside illumination sensor, it captures beautiful footage even in low-light settings. All while the built-in microphone records conversations, music, or any audio at the same time.

Retina display - Major eye candy.
There are lots of reasons you won’t want to take your eyes off iPod touch. The 960-by-640 backlit LCD display, for one. It packs 326 pixels per inch, making it the highest-resolution iPod screen ever. To achieve this, Apple engineers developed pixels so small — a mere 78 micrometers across — that the human eye can’t distinguish individual pixels. Even though you can’t see them, you’ll definitely notice the difference they make. Text is remarkably sharp and graphics are incredibly vivid.

AirPlay - From the small screen to the big screen.
Your music, photos, and video — a.k.a. all the great stuff on your iPod touch — can stream wirelessly to an HDTV and speakers. A feature called AirPlay makes it happen. It works with AirPlay-enabled speakers or Apple TV on a Wi-Fi network.2 Just tap the AirPlay icon on iPod touch and blast some tracks, crack up over photos, or have a YouTube-a-thon. Big time.

Music + iTunes - Original soundtrack by you.
When iPod came on the scene years ago, it was all about music. iPod touch is the evolution of that first iPod, but one thing remains the same: It’s still about music. With up to 64GB of storage capacity,3 iPod touch lets you keep thousands of songs with you all the time. And when your favorite artist drops an album, or you’re feeling like it’s time for some new music, the iTunes Store is just a tap away.

Games + Apps - What iPod touch was made for.
It’s hard to be bored when you have instant access to over 500,000 apps. Available in almost every category, they’re just a tap away at the App Store. And when it comes to games and entertainment titles — over 100,000 and counting — no other platform comes close to iPod touch. Which probably explains why it’s the world’s most popular portable gaming device.

iOS - The world’s most advanced mobile operating system.
Running the show on every iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad is iOS. It lets you browse, read, and see everything just by touching the screen. It also includes all the fun, powerful, and innovative built-in apps you use every day, many times a day. And the latest version, iOS 5, is packed with over 200 exciting new features that will make you say, “Best. iPod. Ever.” Here are a few of our favorite new features in iOS 5:

iMessage
Now you can be all “I was all…” and “She was all…” all you want. Send unlimited text messages to any iOS 5 device free over Wi-Fi with iMessage.


Notification Center
You’re about to beat the final boss. Now’s not the time for an alert to get in the way. And it won’t, thanks to Notification Center.


Game Center
Get ready to rumble. Game Center lets you play against friends and people you don’t know. And it recommends new games and new opponents.

iCloud - Your content. On all your devices.
Thanks to iCloud, your iPod touch has an even tighter bond with your Mac or PC (and your iPhone or iPad). iCloud stores your music, apps, games, latest photos, and more and makes them accessible on your other devices. And it keeps your email, contacts, and calendars up to date across them, too. It’s all automatic. There’s no syncing required, no management required, no anything required. iCloud does the work for you.4

AirPrint - Print everything wirelessly.
Whether it’s tickets to a movie or a photo of you and your girlfriend, you can print it right from iPod touch over Wi-Fi.5 There’s no software to download and install, and no cables to connect. With a few taps, you can go from viewing something on iPod touch to holding a printed copy.

Built-in apps - Fun from the get-go.
iPod touch gives you serious game. But there are so many other things you can do with it that are just as entertaining. Make a FaceTime call to your best friend. Shoot HD video of your favorite band. Take and post plenty of planking photos. Check out your go-to celebrity gossip blogs. All this and you can check email, watch a movie, listen to music, and more. Impressed? That’s just how iPod touch rolls.
