iPod touch

Finally, it's what I've been waiting for. The next generation iPod that is everything the iPhone has, but without the phone!

I love my iPod and listen to it everywhere. At work, in the car, at the gym... I even use my iPod as an alarm to wake me up in the morning. When the iPhone came out, I wanted one, but did not want to spend $700 for a new cell phone and did not want to have to subscribe to AT&T (even though I love their logo) - I'm happy with my T-Mobile service.

So I hoped and I prayed that Apple would integrate the touch screen and web browsing into an iPod without the cell phone part. My prayers have been answered! The new iPod touch incorporates the iPhone's 3.5-inch, 480 by 320 pixel screen with multi-touch technology. The device retains the iPhone's Wi-Fi radio, which helps it to browse the Web using Safari, or stream videos using the included YouTube app. You can even buy music over the new iTunes Wi-Fi store.

The new iPod touch will be available in two flash memory configurations. The 8GB model will retail for $300, while a 16GB flavor will sell for $400. Apple claims that users will be able to listen to 22 hours of music, or watch five hours of video on the device.

Both models should be available by the end of September and I'll be the first in line to get one.
