It does a lot of things, and yet it doesn’t do a lot of things. I had read that it does not get Pandora, and I was unable to do the same, but perhaps someone who is better with technology could accomplish that. I was unable to get apps for it, but you can do a lot of things through the Safari app that is included with the iPad. It cost me 25 bucks, so I really, really can’t complain, as it’s cheap and portable access to the Internet, and I can record my own music on it. If you’re expecting all the features of an iPhone, you will be disappointed. If you want a device that can keep a 10 year old pretty entertained for a modest price, you’ll likely be successful.

I only got it so I could set the clock on my docking station. it's cool. it's a iHome one that rotates between portrait & landscape. originally got the dock when 4&th generation was new, but it was stolen? I always liked the dock,so I got this iPod touch mainly to be able to set the clock. the only way to set the clock is to sync it with that device. to me, it was worth $40 to set the clock.

In 2010, Apple's fourth-generation iPod touch got two cameras—one for shooting HD videos and photos, one for FaceTime chats. In 2011, the changes to the iPod touch are all based on the new iOS 5, which brings with it iMessage, iCloud, notifications, and Game Center enhancements. Physically, the player is unchanged, except now it's offered in white. The high-res Retina display remains crisp, colorful, and highly responsive to touch. Since the iPod nano ($129, 3 stars) no longer supports video, the 8GB touch is the least-expensive video-playing iPod, starting at $199 direct—a $30 price drop from 2010. The other two models remain $299 (32GB) and $399 (64GB). Despite the hefty price, the iPod touch is still, by far, the best portable media player you can buy—and it retains our Editors' Choice. Design There's a new white model, which is white on the front face and mirrored on the back, but the touch retains its 2010 dimensions: 4.4 by 2.3 by 0.3 inches (HWD) and 3.6 ounces. Apple's custom A4 chip powers the device, and the super-sharp Retina display remains 3.5 diagonal inches and 960-by-640 pixels (at 326 pixels per inch). The touch's left-hand panel houses two Volume buttons. A headphone jack, a speaker, and a 30-pin connector for USB computer syncing are on the bottom of the player. The Power button sits up top, and the Home button remains below the display on the front panel. There are two camera lenses—one toward the top of the display, and one on the back, in the top left corner, which is accompanied by a mic. The mirrored back panel is excellent for checking your teeth on the sly, but it picks up fingerprints very easily.

It's a good idea to upgrade those bass-deprived, ill-fitting earbuds to earphones, and our Ultimate Guide to Headphones is a good place to start your search for the right pair. User Interface With the inclusion of iOS 5, the iPod touch now becomes a messaging device. It can also use the new iCloud function, which features iTunes in the Cloud, Photo Stream, and Documents in the Cloud, so you can share content wirelessly between your computer, your iPod touch, your iPhone, and your iPad. Another useful new feature is Notifications, which works with just about any relevant app to keep you informed about updates and friends' responses. For more about what iOS 5 can do, check out PCMag's full review, or read on here to discover some of the nuances that improve the iPod touch's performance. Audio and Video Navigating the music menus on the iPod touch is completely intuitive. First off, there are so many ways to do it—using CoverFlow, searching Artist or Song, or perusing playlists. Apple has made everything fast and easy—scroll song or artist lists by dragging a finger or skip ahead to a letter on the scrollable alphabet on the right side of the screen. The Now Playing view is a showcase for album art, and you can play music while you surf the Web, view photos, or even play games.

Lets weigh the pros and cons... Pros: FaceTime is awesome you can talk with anyone who also has the new 4th generation ipod which has FaceTime. You have that double camera option. Games, videos, and all other apps seems smoother and better quality. The internet is fast. Then of course what makes it great is all the apps you download. Cons: FaceTime only works if you and the person on the other end has internet connection, of course. Pictures are not that great you need to make sure you have good lighting and you or the person your taking pictures of is not moving or the picture will be blurry. No flash for the camera or lighting for video. There isn't a video editing software that comes with the Ipod you need to purchase one from the App Store. My conclusion is its just as good as the older models. It does everything the other models do except for the camera options and FaceTime. I have both a 4th generation and a 3rd generation and there pretty much the same, like I said except for the FaceTime. I still recommend this item for people who wants to keep up with the newest model but after getting it, it feels just like any other model. But I love it.Read full review
PROS -Don't need any contracts with wireless providers to use any of the features on iPod touch all can be accessed using WiFi -TWO camera's, front camera for video chat (facetime, skype etc), rear camera is for regular picture and video recording (you can also take pictures and record videos with front camera too!) -High resolution 720p video recording from back camera at 30 fps and 960 x 640 still photos. -high resolution retina display for sharper quality on the interface -very light weight and even skinnier than previous generations, 101 g (3.6 oz), 111 × 58.9 × 7.2 mm (4.4" × 2.3" × 0.28") -flat back so no more wobbling when laying on a flat surface unlike previous generations of iPod touches which had a curved back. -Microphone next to back camera to use while video chatting or for audio recording. -Even though it doesn't have the instant 'Phone' capabilities of the iPhone you can still use the microphone with a social networking app like Skype or Facetime to make the iPod function as an iPhone 4 -Processor and all features is same as 32/64 GB 4th gen iPod touches, only difference is the storage capacity -Battery life: 7 Hours video or 40 Hours audio -Display 3.5" LCD screen (89 mm); 2:3 aspect ratio; 24-bit color, glossy glass-covered LED-backlit LCD, 960×640 px at 326 ppi CONS -Though it says 8 GB, you will actually only have 6.5 GB of free space. -Primary camera on the back is only .7 megapixel which is pretty bad and equal to the quality you find on any cheap camera phones. You can still download apps to slightly improve the quality of pictures but the hardware can only do so much. -Does NOT support 3G or 4G data connection only WiFi via 802.11n (2.4 GHz) -Tough to connect USB recharging Dock connector to the back, you feel like you are jamming it in since the iPod touch is so thin, you feel as though you might be damaging it internally just by having to force it in. OTHER NEW FEATURES -Speakers are now on the bottom left side of the iPod touch next to the dock connector and a lot smaller (by appearance) than the previous generations. -Power button is now on top right -in place of where the speaker used to be in the older generations, now features the back camera lens and a small hole next to it which is the microphone. -Volume control is now two separate buttons for volume up & down instead of a roller.Read full review
