No Comments Posted in: Gadgets | September 1, 2010

Apple today announced the new iPod touch, packed with incredible new features including Apple’s stunning Retina display, FaceTime video calling, HD video recording, Apple’s A4 chip, 3-axis gyro, iOS 4.1, and Game Center — all combined in the thinnest and lightest iPod touch ever. The new iPod touch features up to 40 hours of music playback and seven hours of video playback on a single battery charge. It’s also got front and back cameras.

Here’s a rundown of a few of the main release info, including the all important specs - for the full rundown visit the Apple website.

Video Calling

Video calling is in full effect on iPod touch. Now your friends can see what you’re up to, when you’re up to it. With the tap of a button, you can wave “hi” while standing in a foreign country, get a second opinion on a pair of boots, or have your friends bear witness to the everyday pranks, bets, and dares they otherwise might have missed — new iPod touch to new iPod touch or iPhone 4 over Wi-Fi. And come face to face with even more fun.

Retina Display

Thanks to the Retina display, everything you see and do on iPod touch looks amazing. That’s because the Retina display’s pixel density is so high your eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels. Which means images in games, movies, and photos pop off the screen. Text in books, web pages, and email is crisp at any size. And everything is sharper. No wonder it’s called “cutting edge.”

HD Video Recording

Because your iPod touch — and its built-in HD video camera — go with you everywhere, you’re always ready to record when the moment strikes. And now you can do it in stunning high definition. An advanced backside illumination sensor delivers brilliant video in both bright and low-light settings. And when you’re done shooting, you can edit and share your movie in just a few taps. With iPod touch, you’re the only film crew you need.

Game Center

Game Center is a new app that lets friends, and soon-to-be-friends, in on all the action. Invite someone to join, then get a game going. Or choose to automatically go up against people you don’t know from anywhere around the world in a multiplayer game. It’s your world. Everyone else is just playing in it.
