- Editor Reviews: Apple's latest iPod Touch features a rear-facing camera, HD video recording and 40 hours of music playback.
As a portable media player/gaming device/mini-tablet computer, Apple's iPod Touch has been blowing us away since 2007.
As far as design goes, the fourth-generation model is noticeably lighter and thinner than previous generations but still maintains a sturdy feel with curved, chromed steel backing. The curve is a little less pronounced than the second- and third-generation models, allowing it to lay flat without wobbling, but it still maintains a slimmer taper at the edges than the first-generation version.
The volume rocker is now split into two separate buttons; however, the profile of the buttons is the same as before. The screen lock button is still at the top, though located on the right as opposed to the left side (a win for lefties, maybe?). The black antenna window on the back is gone. Headphone and dock connections are on the bottom where they've always been, only now they're joined by a small speaker grille slit on the left side of the dock connection.
The big news about the new Touch is the addition of two video cameras — one facing the user and one facing out. The front-facing camera is meant for use with Apple's FaceTime video chat app (first unveiled with iPhone 4), as well as any supported third-party apps. With FaceTime on the Touch, users can place or receive video calls to both iPhones or other iPod Touch, using an email address, as opposed to a phone number.
In our brief demo using FaceTime on the Touch, all of the features we've come to expect from the iPhone 4 were present, including the ability to call in portrait or landscape, switch camera views and pause video transmission while maintaining a voice connection. The feature can be used with a plug-in headset (not included) or simply with the integrated speaker and microphone.
The rear-facing camera on Touch is capable of capturing still images and video up to 720p. It is not, however, identical to the camera on the iPhone 4. It uses a different sensor and there's no flash. It's also incapable of working with the new HDR camera feature being rolled out for the iPhone. Still, it's a welcome addition and opens the door to many more apps and uses.
Under the hood, you have a ton of features carried over from the iPhone 4. The processor is the same A4 chip as the iPhone. There's an integrated gyroscope now for more fine-grain gaming control. The Wi-Fi antenna now supports 802.11n at 2.4GHz. And last, but not least, the LCD is the same 3.5-inch "retina" display used on the iPhone 4, sporting a 960x640 resolution.
The iPod Touch will retail for AU$289 (8GB model), AU$378 (32GB model) and AU$499 (64GB model). Stay tuned for our full review of the iPod Touch soon.
