The world's most popular portable gaming device is even more fun. Now
available in black and white, iPod touch includes iOS 5 with over 200 new
features, like iMessage, Notification Center, and Twitter integration. Send
free, unlimited text messages over Wi-Fi with iMessage. Record HD video and make
FaceTime calls. Visit the App Store to choose from over 500,000 apps. iPod touch
also features iCloud, which stores your music, photos, apps, and moreÑand
wirelessly pushes them to all your devices.
On the front of iPod touch is a built-in camera perfect
for making FaceTime video calls.
FaceTime. Oh, I see what you're saying.
Video calling on iPod touch means your friends can see what you're up to,
when you're up to it. With a tap, you can call someone on an iPhone, iPad 2,
iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi. And come face-to-face with even more fun.
Tap for a more instant, instant message.
Take "LOL" to the next level and actually see friends laughing. Or bring
"XOXO" to life when you blow someone a kiss from miles away. FaceTime on iPod
touch makes it possible. FaceTime works right out of the box--just enter your
Apple ID and email address. Or create a new email account just for FaceTime.
Using FaceTime is as easy as it gets. Say you want to start a video call with
your best friend over Wi-Fi. Just tap the FaceTime app and find her entry to
start the call. An invitation pops up on her screen asking if she wants to join
you. When she accepts, FaceTime begins. It's all perfectly seamless. And it
works in both portrait and landscape. See how much fun you can have.
Two cameras make either side its fun side.
iPod touch has two built-in cameras, one on the front above the display and
one on the back. The front camera has been tuned for FaceTime. It has just the
right field of view and focal length to focus on your face at arm's length. So
it always presents you in the best possible light. Which is especially handy
when you're talking to someone who's more than just a friend.
The back camera. See and share.
So your friend is sick with a cold and can't make it to the concert. You can
share the encore with a FaceTime call. As the band takes the stage and starts
playing one of her all-time favorite songs, just tap a button. And before the
lead singer can belt out his first note, iPod touch switches to the back camera
and to the sure-to-be-legendary performance. Another tap switches to the front
camera and to you. Simple, fast, and fun.
Camera with HD Video Recording. Ready, and action.
The next great Internet meme could be yours. iPod touch and its HD video
camera go with you everywhere, so you can capture every "What the?" moment that
comes your way.
Trim a little off the ends. Or the middle.
No need to wait until you're back at your computer to edit video. With basic
editing built into iPod touch, you can get right down to business. Just drag to
select start and end points on a filmstrip. Keep only the parts of the video you
want, and turn it into something you and your friends will watch again and
again.
iPod touch features a second camera on the back, which
lets you shoot amazing 720p HD video.
Special guest star: iMovie.
You're on an epic road trip, and you want to create a video postcard of
everything you've seen and done. Just use the iMovie app--pick it up on the App
Store for just $4.99. Built for Multi-Touch, iMovie lets you combine and edit
video clips, give them that extra something with dynamic themes, add music and
photos, and share your finished movies with the world.
This is so going on YouTube.
Maybe you're in the middle of texting a friend or browsing the web when you
look up and suddenly see something that words just can't describe. Launch the
camera and record on the fly. Then upload your HD movie directly to YouTube. Or
select some video from the Camera Roll and attach it to a new email message,
ready to send. Posting to your Facebook page or blog is also just a tap
away.
Two cameras. Countless photo ops.
A really cool piece of graffiti art. A cupcake too cute to eat. Your cat
camouflaged by stuffed animals. If you want to take a quick photo to post on
Twitter, either camera on iPod touch can also capture stills. Use grid lines,
pinch-to-zoom gestures, and single-tap exposure lock to compose the perfect
shot. Then tap to tweet at will.
Retina Display. Seeing is still not believing.
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."
When iPod came on the scene years ago, it was all about
music--and it still is. Enjoy your favorite tunes, whether it's on headphones or
wirelessly over AirPlay.
More wow per inch.
Behind the screen of iPod touch, there's some serious technology going on. By
developing pixels a mere 78 micrometers wide, Apple engineers were able to pack
four times the number of pixels into the same size screen found on earlier iPod
touch models. This many pixels packed this close together--326 per inch--make
graphics and text look smooth and continuous at any size. Prepare to be glued to
the screen.
LED backlighting.
The Retina display includes LED backlighting and an ambient light sensor that
automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen for the best viewing and
battery life possible. So you can focus on more important things. Like
destroying aliens.
AirPlay. Broadcast live to your HDTV and speakers.
With AirPlay, you can wirelessly stream what's on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
touch to your HDTV and speakers via Apple TV. That's gonna go over big.
Give your photos and video the big-screen treatment.
You have great photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and some friends on
your couch. Or you're in the middle of an epic action scene that could use a
little more screen. Tap the AirPlay icon on your iOS 5 device from a specific
app--Photos, Videos, or Safari, for example--and everything streams to your HDTV
via your Apple TV.* Make sure both your device and Apple TV are connected to the
same Wi-Fi network, and the AirPlay icon appears automatically.
DJ wirelessly.
AirPlay isn't just for photos, movies, and apps. It's for your music, too. A
song, an album, a favorite playlist--if it's on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
touch, you can stream it to your home entertainment speakers via Apple TV.
Because rocking out is always more fun in surround sound.
Your speakers and AirPlay. Perfectly in tune.
Conduct a symphony, chill with an indie band, or put on a rock
concert--anywhere in the house. Connect any speaker you own to an AirPort
Express. Or stream directly to AirPlay-enabled speakers from manufacturers like
Denon, Marantz, B&W, JBL, and iHome. Your iOS device automatically detects
your speakers: Just tap the ones you want to use. Since it all happens
wirelessly, you have the freedom to cue the tunes from wherever you happen to be
sitting, standing, or dancing.
Music. The DNA of iPod touch.
Your workouts, your cram sessions, your commute, your late-night dance party
of one, your ever-present need to drown out the noise around you. It's your
music that keeps you going. And you know what respects that? iPod touch.
Turn iPod touch on its side and glide through your music
by album art with the flick of your finger.
A work of album art.
What a song does for your ears, Cover Flow on iPod touch does for your eyes
and fingers. Turn iPod touch on its side and glide through your music by album
art with the flick of your finger. Tap an album cover to flip it over and
display a track list. Tap again to start the music.
From one great song comes an even greater playlist.
Songs in your library get a newfound rhythm thanks to Genius. When you're
listening to a track you love and want to hear others that go great with it, let
Genius take over. It finds complementary songs you own and makes a Genius
playlist for you. Listen to the playlist right away, save it for later, or even
refresh it and give it another go. Count on Genius to create a playlist you
wouldn't have thought of yourself.
A genius of a mix.
Genius acts as your personal DJ. All you do is sync iPod touch to iTunes, and
Genius automatically searches your library to find songs that sound great
together. Then it creates multiple mixes you'll love because it's entirely your
music. Genius Mixes are like stations tuned precisely to your taste. They're a
great way to rediscover songs you haven't heard in forever--and some you forgot
you had.
Shake it like you mean it.
The next time you're listening to your tunes, turn on Shake to Shuffle, then
give iPod touch a shake to shuffle to a different song in your music library.
It's just another way iPod touch keeps your music feeling fresh.
It's hard to be bored when you have instant access to
over 500,000 apps, including the latest in gaming titles.
If it's entertaining, it's on iTunes.
Add songs and music videos to your iPod touch from iTunes on your computer.
Or buy and download new music on your iPod touch over Wi-Fi with the iTunes app.
When you do, iCloud automatically downloads it to all your devices over Wi-Fi or
3G. So everything new appears everywhere--on your iPad, iPhone, Mac, or PC. You
can also browse your purchase history and choose specific songs or albums to
download again at no additional cost. Sign up for iTunes Match and you can
access all your other music from iCloud--including music you've imported from
CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes. For just $24.99 a year.
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

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.
iTunes in the Cloud. Your music and TV shows. Wherever you want them.
You never know when you'll suddenly be in the mood to listen to a favorite
song or rewatch that hilarious sitcom episode. With iCloud, you can have iTunes
automatically download new music purchases to all your devices the moment you
tap Buy. You can also access past music and TV show purchases from any of your
devices--wirelessly and without syncing.
Photo Stream. Snap. And it's everywhere.
With Photo Stream, you can take a photo on one iOS device and it
automatically appears on all your other devices, including your Mac or PC.
Import new pictures to your computer from a digital camera, and iCloud sends
copies over Wi-Fi to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. You can even view recent
photos on your big-screen TV via Apple TV. There's no syncing, no email
attachments, no file transfers. Your pictures are just there--on whichever
device you happen to have handy.
Buy a new book from the iBookstore, and iCloud makes
sure it appears everywhere--your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Documents in the Cloud. Start here. Finish there.
You can create amazing documents and presentations on your iPhone, iPad, and
iPod touch. And now with iCloud, you can keep your work up to date across all
your iOS devices. You don't have to save your work or transfer any files. Your
documents--with all your latest edits--automatically appear everywhere. iCloud
is already built into Apple iOS apps like Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. It can
also work with other iCloud-enabled apps. So you can do things like create a
spreadsheet on your iPad and make edits to it on your iPhone. Or start sketching
on your iPod touch and add the finishing touches on your iPad at home.
Apps. All your apps. Always at hand.
If you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you have apps. And you probably
download new ones all the time. iCloud lets you automatically download new app
purchases to all your devices at once. So the app you need is always right where
you need it. If an app you bought previously isn't on one of your devices, not
to worry. You can download it again from your purchase history--at no additional
charge.
iBooks. All your devices are on the same page.
Buy a new book from the iBookstore, and iCloud makes sure it appears
everywhere--your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. So if you have to put it down,
you can pick it back up on another device, in exactly the same place. In
addition to the best seller you're glued to at the moment, the iBooks app keeps
a list of titles you've read before. And just like with apps, you can download
them again to any of your devices.
Calendar, Mail, and Contacts. Up-to-date everything.
iCloud stores all the stuff you can't live without--your contacts, calendars,
and email--and keeps it up to date across all your devices. Say you delete an
email, add a calendar event, or change some settings. iCloud makes all your
changes everywhere. Same with your notes, reminders, and Safari bookmarks.
Backup. iCloud saves the day.
iCloud backs up your iOS device daily over Wi-Fi when it's connected to a
power source. From your Camera Roll and messages to your device settings and
ringtones, everything is backed up quickly and efficiently. And since iCloud is
built into iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, you can restore your personal data on a
new iOS device or one you already have without using a single cable. iCloud does
it all for you over Wi-Fi.
Find My Friends. Friend-spotting.
For finding your way to the party, keeping track of family at a crowded
amusement park, or getting picked up at the airport, Find My Friends is your
app. You can give friends and family permission to see your whereabouts. And
vice versa. When you don't want to be found, a single switch takes you off the
grid. Simple as that.
Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac. Lost. And found.
If checking all the usual spots hasn't turned up your missing iOS device,
Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac can help.4 Just sign in at icloud.com
or use the Find My iPhone app on another device to locate yours on a map,
display a message on its screen, remotely set a passcode lock, or initiate a
remote wipe to delete your data.
AirPrint. Wireless printing, right from your iPod touch.
Late for a concert? Quickly print your tickets from your iPod touch. Stumble
upon a list of cheat codes for the RPG you've been struggling with? Print it and
share it with your friends. A few taps is all it takes to go from onscreen to on
paper.
Hard copies made easy.
AirPrint on iPod touch makes it simple to print your email, photos, web
pages, and documents. There's no software to download, no drivers to install,
and no cables to connect. With just a few taps on your iPod touch, you can go
from viewing something onscreen to holding a printed copy. And because all the
printing takes place in the background, there's no waiting around. Instead, you
can start printing and then go back to flicking through photos, browsing the
web, or doing whatever you were doing before.
True wireless printing.
"No cables required" means exactly that. AirPrint printing is 100 percent
wireless. iPod touch automatically locates and connects to AirPrint-enabled
printers on your wireless network. Whether you're on the other side of the house
or on another floor from your printer--or you're walking from one room to the
next--you can still print what you need, when you need it. In fact, it's all so
easy and fast that by the time you finish reading this sentence, you could have
printed it from your iPod touch.
What you see is what you print.
If you can open it on your iPod touch, chances are you can print it with
AirPrint. AirPrint works with Safari, Mail, Photos, PDFs in iBooks, and
third-party apps with built-in printing. Print that hilarious photo of your
friend dressed up as an '80s rock star. Running late for a movie? AirPrint lets
you quickly print your tickets as you're heading out the door, so you won't have
to miss the previews.
Game Center on iPod touch lets you add more players to
your gaming network.
Works with AirPrint-enabled printers.
Many AirPrint-enabled printers are available. Just visit the Apple Online
Store and find one that's right for you.
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.
Messages with iMessage
Your two-thumb typing skills are about to be put to some serious use. Say
h-e-l-l-o to iMessage, the new text messaging service for all iOS 5 users. It's
free over Wi-Fi, so you can say as much as you want, and then say more. iMessage
also lets you send a picture, share a video, or text a location. This is
definitely going to have people talking.
FaceTime
FaceTime on iPod touch lets you hang out, catch up, and goof off with friends
when you can't be there in person. With just a tap, your iPod touch can make a
FaceTime call to someone else's iPod touch, iPad 2, iPhone, or Mac over Wi-Fi.1
Witness a prank in action. Or watch your friend on the other side of the country
crack up at your stories from last night. All you need to get started is an
Apple ID and an email account. You can choose an email account you already have
or, if you prefer, set up a new one. You'll never see fun the same way
again.
Game Center
Game Center on iPod touch lets you add more players to your gaming network.
Invite friends to join. Then totally dominate them. See how your score ranks
against your friends and other players of each game. Compare achievements. Put

new friends based on the games you play. You can even choose to go up against
people you don't know in a multiplayer game. So get in the game. And get your
friends in it, too.
Camera with HD Video Recording
"You should have seen it!" is a thing of the past. Because with iPod touch,
you'll always have a great HD video camera with you. So when your dog does that
thing where he sounds like he's talking, you're ready to capture it in all its
glory. In high-definition 720p video. You can record video in low-light
settings, thanks to the advanced backside illumination sensor. You can even edit
and create your own mini blockbuster right on iPod touch using the iMovie
app--with Apple-designed themes, titles, and transitions. It's available on the
App Store for $4.99.
App Store
Tap App Store and you'll find over 500,000 apps--including over 100,000 game
and entertainment titles. With more added every day. Thanks to iCloud, new apps
you buy on your iPod touch automatically download to your iPad or iPhone. There
are apps for anything and everything--from giving videos you shoot a vintage
feel to letting you take on the role of a cunning secret agent. You can download
them fast. Many of them are free. And all of them make your iPod touch that much
more can't-live-without-able.
Music + iTunes
With iPod touch, you don't just play your music. You hear it, and see it, in
entirely different ways. Let Genius create a mix or a playlist for you
automatically with music you already own and love. Flick through albums in Cover
Flow. Or give iPod touch a shake to shuffle your songs. Craving some new music?

over Wi-Fi to your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC, too.

but don't have time? Add it to Reading List and read it later. iCloud keeps your
Reading List updated across all your devices, in case you want to check out the
story on your Mac or iPad instead.
Photos
So many hilarious, unforgettable, I-can't-believe-you-just-did-that moments
are in the photo library on your iPod touch. And new features in iOS 5 give you
more control over the photos you take. Crop, rotate, enhance, and remove red-eye
right on iPod touch. Even organize your photos in albums. With Photo Stream in
iCloud, all the photos you shoot on iPod touch automatically appear on your
other devices.
Maps
Maps on iPod touch shows you where you are and how to get to where you want
to be. Or maybe you're craving something sweet. Type what you're looking
for--"ice cream," for example--and see what's nearby.
Reminders
A new feature called Reminders makes iPod touch seem like a sticky note come
to life. Create a list for whatever you don't want to forget--homework
assignments to finish, chores to do, concert tickets to buy. Set a deadline and
Reminders will send you a notification to keep you on track.

YouTube is a video wonderland. And with the YouTube app on iPod touch, you can
keep yourself entertained for hours on end.

If you have something to say, say it. Voice Memos on iPod touch will record
it. Whether it's a lecture on covalent bonds or your friend's goofy made-up
song, you can keep it for posterity. Trim your memos on iPod touch, then sync
them to iTunes to use in your podcast or share.

You know your iPod touch is here somewhere because you had it like 10 minutes
ago. Don't freak out. Find My iPod touch was made for situations like this. When
you first get your iPod touch, set up Find My iPod touch. Then if you misplace
it, you can find its approximate location on a map. Display a message or play a
