Games designed for iPod touch technology are just a tap away. Browse hundreds of games from the App Store right on your iPod touch, download what you want, and you're ready to play.
The App Store.
Even if games
aren't your thing, there's an iPod touch application for
you. Thousands of applications in almost every category -
entertainment, social networking, sports, photography, reference, and
travel - are a tap away at the App Store.
Movies + TV Shows;
Carry hours of video with you and watch it on a crisp, clear 3.5-inch color widescreen display.

iPod touch syncs your bookmarks from your PC or Mac, so you can access favorite sites quickly. It has Google and Yahoo! search built in, so it's easy to find what you're looking for on the web.
Mail;
iPod touch supports rich HTML email, so images and photos appear alongside text. And you see email attachments in their original formats, not stripped-down versions. Rotate, zoom, and pan in more than a dozen standard file and image formats, including PDF; Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; and iWork.
Maps;
iPod touch finds your location using known Wi-Fi hotspots. Just type in an address and get directions from wherever you are. Just like Google Maps on your computer, Maps on iPod touch lets you switch between views of Google map data, satellite images, and a hybrid of both. Multi-Touch makes the difference
YouTube;
Email your favorite videos to your favorite people. Tap Share on any YouTube video detail page and iPod touch creates an email with the video link already in it.

Organized by groups.
If you keep your contacts organized into groups - such as coworkers, friends, family, and so on - iPod touch will, too. And iPod touch can hold more than just names, email addresses, and phone numbers. You can also track birthdays, websites, nicknames, and notes.

Multi-Touch - iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone.
Glide, flick, pinch.
Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the Multi-Touch touchscreen interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, zoom in and out on a section of a web page, and control game elements precisely.
Accelerometer - iPod touch responds to motion using a built-in accelerometer.
Responds to movement.
iPod touch detects when you rotate it from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display. So you immediately see the entire width of a web page, view a photo in its proper aspect ratio, or control a game using only your movements.
Perfect for gaming.
Accelerometer technology really shines when you play games because it immerses you in the action. It's perfect for racing games, where your entire iPod touch acts as a steering wheel, and for tap-and-tilt games such as Super Monkey Ball, in which your character responds to your every movement.
How it Works.
The accelerometer inside iPod touch uses three elements: a silicon mass, a set of silicon springs, and an electrical current. The silicon springs measure the position of the silicon mass using the electrical current. Rotating iPod touch causes a fluctuation in the electrical current passing through the silicon springs. The accelerometer registers these fluctuations and tells iPod touch to adjust the display accordingly.
Wireless - Connect iPod touch to the Internet anywhere there's a wireless network.
Connect automatically.
iPod touch locates nearby wireless hotspots, including protected networks. If you've never used a particular network, it asks you to enter a password the first time, and it remembers the password from then on. So the next time you're within range, it connects automatically.
Surf's Up.
